Day 6 Civic Green Fountains, Highlands Ranch
With record breaking heat in Denver, CO on Saturday 7/16 and more to come today – here is another way to cool off. Yesterday we went ice skating, today head to the fountains.
There are fountains all over the south Denver metro area and suburbs – one in particular my family likes are the fountains at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch.
At this Highlands Ranch park, there is a large fountain play area at the bottom of the park, which is next to a large covered picnic shelter on the stage – perfect those that want to sit & watch and get some relief from the sun.
Further up the hill toward the playground is a smaller fountain area, but just as fun my own children find. And if you continue to walk past the playground you will find a play area in a shallow stream that kids wade in all summer long.
Civic Green Park is the home to many Highlands ranch community events such as concerts and also has a wonderful playground and is managed by the Highlands Ranch Metro Districts. It is the home to the Highlands Ranch Veterans Monument and is located between the Highlands Ranch Library behind Town Center and next to the Town Center Brownstones town homes.
You’ll see one video in the upper right corner here, but here is one more from the top of the park. (If you are reading on the blog’s home page & do not see the top video, click into the post to see it.)
Here are a few other fountains throughout the Denver suburbs that I know of. Feel free to share in the comments if you know of others!
Littleton/Englewood – Cornerstone Park
Englewood Civic Center
Greenwood Village – Westlands Park
And if you want to head downtown, there are the Electric Fountain and H2Odyssey Interactive Fountains in City Park in Denver. Maybe double it up with a trip to Museum of Nature & Science or Denver Zoo and cool off in the fountains after.
