Monument Valley North Playground - Colorado Springs

This playground enjoyed a significant facelift during the spring of 2014. Located near Boddington Park, and accessible from a small parking lot on Wood Ave. (as well as the Monument Valley trail), this two-part playground has beautiful new equipment for children of all ages, plush fall surfaces, and brilliant views of the valley lawn in all directions. If you are a jogger, this is a great resting point when you have kiddos in tow, and because of its relative seclusion, the playground is rarely over-crowded. Bonus!


Specifics

Access by trail from Wood Avenue is steep! Be careful if you have trouble ascending or descending hills. You can also gain access to the playground via Monument Valley trail, but expect to walk a significant distance.

Some of the equipment is built for older kids, so keep a careful eye on younger babes who might dare climb to the highest points.

Sheltered restrooms are nearby, but they might be closed during the winter months due to freeze danger (Oct - April).
