Spotlight on Broomfield's Newest Park: McKay Lake Park

By Julia Roberts, Publisher Macaroni Kid Broomfield September 27, 2018

Have you been to the brand new McKay Lake Park in Broomfield? If not, grab your kids and run, don't walk, to check this one out! It really is unlike any other park in town. Rather than your typical playground and pavilions, this park is entirely focused around nature. There are rocks to climb on, logs to jump on, hills to tunnel under, and more! 

The materials are made out of natural elements that blend in with the environment. This gives the park an entirely different feel than what you typically think of when you picture a kid's playground. And this park isn't just for the kids. While they will love the jump lines and slides, adults will love the nature fitness course, trails, and open lands which are perfect for walking and biking. Speaking of biking, there are also amazing bike parks for little kids and big kids alike. 


My girls and I went for the grand opening in August, and it really blew me away! They had so much fun climbing and exploring, and afterward we took advantage of the trail system and went on a family walk around McKay Lake. We are so lucky to have such a fun and unique park in our community. I highly encourage you to check it out!
