We are lucky in our Central Park-Commerce City-Northfield neighborhoods to have so many great playgrounds and parks to explore. From swings to slides, to climbing walls and water features, our parks and playgrounds keep our kids active, are a great place to meet old friends (and make new! friends), and they're FREE!
I often get asked what our favorite playgrounds are, so I thought I'd share here with you my family's picks for our top five playgrounds and parks to visit in our neighborhoods.
