The fountains here share the park with a radio-themed destination playground honoring broadcaster Paco Sanchez, plus a skatepark. It is one of the splash pads Denver Parks & Recreation operates on its citywide summer schedule.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps playground alongside, parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Denver average 88°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
