1001 Things to do in Colorado- #1 Denver Area Skate Parks
This post is the first in a series of 1001. They are not in any particular order, just things that I have had the opportunity to do or are on my list of things not to miss in the great state of Colorado.
#1– Denver Metro Area
You’ve seen it on television during the Extreme Sports shows, but did you know we have some incredible young people locally and across the state who fly? Give them a skate board and the sky is the limit. Grab lunch, something cold to drink and a lawn chair and head to one of our local skate parks to watch these amazing athletes at play. If you are really brave, take your helmet, knee pads and your own skateboard and give it a try.
Here are just a few skate parks you may want to consider visiting.
Denver Skate Park– 2205 19th Street, Denver
Arvada Skateboard Park– 7800 Barbara Ann Drive, Arvada
Aurora Wheel Park– 2500 S. Wheel Park Circle (Approximately Iliff and Chambers), Aurora
Castle Rock Skate Park– 2240 Front Street, Castle Rock
Centennial Skate Park– Buckley and Orchard, Centennial
Commerce City Pioneer Park– 60th and Monaco, Commerce City
Green Valley Ranch– 51st and Argonne, Denver
Greenwood Village Skate Park– 6000 S. Quebec, Greenwood Village
Highlands Ranch Redstone Park– Town Center Drive and Foothills Canyon Blvd., Highlands Ranch
Lakewood Walker-Branch Park– 5825 W. 16th, Lakewood
I’ve been by the Aurora Wheel Park and the Castle Rock Skate Parks. These kids are fearless and fun to watch. If you haven’t made it yet, I highly encourage taking an afternoon to sit back and take it in. It may become a favorite past time and it’s free!
You should post these locations on a google map, great post
Peter,
Thanks for the great advice. I’ll get working on it.
Great post and blog! I’m going to link to a couple of these from our Denver blog if you don’t mind - great info for readers:) Thanks Jennifer!
