Centennial Center Park

This place is awesome! Great free thing to do with the family. Nice clean facilities.

Amazing! … and free. It is a great kids play area … Rope jungle gym, massive multi-​story fort, rock climbing wall, slides, swings, toddler area, splash park, covered area, shade sails, benches, tables, sand area, grassy areas, … really just a great park.
Decent parking by the Centennial Town Hall /​Civic Center etc … and street parking down below the park area … The only hard thing is trying to keep track on more than one child … or maybe even just one … on a nice summer day it is crazy down there!

This park is fantastic for kids 2 – 12. Mini water park for the little ones. Swings and rock wall climbing for the older ones. Plenty of places to BBQ and eat. Very clean and well kept. Great place for young families.

Oh the many of parks of Denver… This one does not disappoint!
So many features to enjoy… From the large playground & spider web (for the big kids), playground for the toddlers along with a small water feature, sand area for the little ones, and the Giant Splash Pad (with artificial grass, nicely shaded for the adults).
You could definitely enjoy a morning or afternoon here! Pack some snacks/​lunch, slather on the sunscreen, and make sure the kiddos have their bathing suits.
Another great feature is a shaded area (Large Shelter) with about 8 tables/​benches. Perfect for a large get-​together. And another area called the «Coffee Shelter» with tables and seats (and a fireplace? Something for when it gets super cold) which would be another great spot for a get-​together!
What a great find! Something for everyone here!

Best park I have been in Denver. The details in the park is so unique and different from other parks I have been to. There is one slide built into the walls that the older kids use as a water slide. The tree house is so cute with three levels for the children to play on. There is a smaller play are for toddlers and babies. There’s a sand play pit and plenty of seating and shaded areas.
It is summer and the heat eventually takes a toll on my mentality so the water park was the highlight for me. The water park felt clean and cool. The water did not feel like urine was being splashed back at me like other water play areas I have been to. My baby sister had a fun time and if she had a smile on her face, it satisfies my heart.

Best park we have ever visited! Plenty of parking, lots of play structures for the kids, clean bathrooms, and lots of shady areas for adults to relax. There is an amphitheater and fliers on the light posts letting you know the next shows. Bonus: there are also outlets to charge your phone on the posts! I can’t say enough good things about this park. There will be many return visits in the near future!

This is a park for children, no adult minded features like bike trails. With that being said this is an INCREDIBLE playground with just about everything a kid could want. An amazing water feature, creative sand box, slides, swings, climbing wall etc. It also has a bathroom facility with running water and soap. I wish it had more stalls though. There is always a wait in the ladies room.

This park is so awesome! I have never seen any park like it. The water park is amazing! Slater and Paul architecture firm that created this did a great job. And it’s free. But means lots of people.

Yay for city of Centennial for creating such an incredible play space! Awesome playground areas, multiple for varying ages and interests. Fantastic splash pad/​sprinkler area where kids can get wet and parents don’t have to worry about drowning!
I like that they put a shade up over the grassy hill overlooking the splash pad, and wish there was more shade around. However, all the picnic tables/​party areas are shaded which is very nice. Bathrooms are clean and well-​maintained too.
One thing that concerns me is that there is not one place you can stand as a parent and see the whole park/​playground. So, for me with a 7 year old wanting to climb in the bigger playground, and a 2 year old needing the smaller playground, it’s hard to keep an eye on them both at the same time.
This place gets crowded, but it’s because it’s that good. So, bring enough adults for a good parent-​kid ratio, and you’ll guarantee yourself a relatively stress-​free visit AND happy kids.

What do you want to do? Because it is probably at this park. The down side is everyone else in the neighborhood knows it too. There is a music area, a water station, a splash park, a rope jungle gym etc. bring a friend because it’s tough to keep an eye on all your kids because of the layout.

We had never been here before and boy were we pleasantly surprised. The kids had a great time. There are so many things to do.
We went on a very hot Sunday and the water was a nice relief. There are a lot of tables and grills to have an afternoon cookout.
We will definitely be going back!

By far my very favorite park. This is an Awesome place to play. Alot of fun for the kiddos.

This is by far the best park I have found. The water features are a great way for kids of all ages to cool off on a hot day. There are multiple playgrounds for all kids. Bring a picnic lunch and use one of the many shaded picnic areas.

Centennial has done a wonderful job with this park. Tons of play equipment for the kids and even a water park between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
There is a path surrounding the park with informational kiosks and blue scopes showing and explaining various mountains off in the distance.
An amphitheater is under construction at the moment. I assume the amphitheater was not part of the original plans for the park, since a new column completely blocks the view of one of the kiosks. Oops! Maybe the kiosk (s) will be moved? Or maybe they will stay for comedic effect.

The only con: You are guaranteed to have a toddler meltdown when you pry them away.

We absolutely love this park, year round. The splash park in the summer is a blast. I wish it extended hours past Labor Day since its still hot and most pools are closed. It’s got a great playground with fun stuff for younger and older kids. We love the slide built into the hill and the giant disc swings that we can all swing in together.
I’ve considered renting out space for a party.
Why are suburban parks so much better than the ones in our neighborhood?

This is one of the best (kid) parks around.
I did say kid.

The Centennial Center Park is located right next to the Centennial City Center. The park is more of just a playground. No huge bike trails (for example).
What it does do, it does well.
The park has multiple shelters with gas fireplaces. Some are reminiscent of a coffee shot (bar, stools, modern look). You can reserve these shelters, I hear for about $ 40 per hour.
The playground has both a toddler area (smaller equipment) as well as a larger kid play area.
The big area has a two story (or is it 3) structure that attaches to the parking lot area. It is quite cool. They also have a great rope area where kids can climb to their hearts content. Other key elements to the main playground are swings, and these «push or bounce» rides (I have no idea what they are called).
From Memorial day to Labor day there is a water/​splash background. It is awesome, and my kid can’t wait until it is ready. It is beautiful, it is fun, and its better than anything I experienced while on a recent vacation to Sea World (Their splash ground was pretty weak).
The toddler area has a cool sandbox and a dino dig (bones buried in sand). Very fun.
The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is that no self respecting toddler will stay in the toddler area. The exit from the play structure to the parking lot is a concern.

This park is the best. Fun, extensive play structure for the kids. Covered shelters and bathrooms. And the best part is the water feature. The kids love to splash and play for hours. This park really has it all.

I love this park! It’s right down the street from our house and so refreshing on a summer day. My toddler loves to run around in the water with his «bucky» capturing water from the spouts and then pouring it out on himself, laughing! There are covered picnic tables and barbeque grills so the potential is endless. What a great place!
