Macaroni Book Review and Giveaway!

Denver Playgrounds & Parks by Chris Sekirnjak

By Jamie Twarogowski, Macaroni Kid Lakewood & Littleton, CO Publisher May 21, 2015
Summer break has started so now begins the time to search for things to do to get everyone out of the house, off the couch and off the electronics. Our community has so many playgrounds and parks, many of which I don't even know exist, let alone the amenities available.

Chris Sekirnjak felt the same way, that is why he decided to research 512 Playgrounds & Parks in the metro Denver area and compiled a handy guide, complete with ratings and reviews.

Our community can be found in the West area and will cover most of Lakewood. It does not reach past Hwy 285 so it will not cover much of the Littleton community. However, if you are searching to expand your playground and park adventures this summer, this book would be a great resource for you!

In the information section of the book, you will find the address, the size of the park, rating based on 0-5 stars, and park features. If the park includes a playground, you will find similar information with the addition of, year built or updated, surface (wood chips, sand, rubber, etc.), number of slides and swings, restrooms, toddler park, and any special features and accessibility.

At the back of the book, you will find photos of many of the most popular parks around the city with handy details at your fingertips.  There is also an index so you can easily locate information on a specific park by name.

I can certainly see how handy this book will be this summer when meeting a friend across town for a picnic at an unexplored park.
