Overview
The 39th Avenue Greenway Natural Playground at Steele St. is the cheery on top of the city of Denver’s 39th Avenue Greenway storm water and drainage master plan which also includes our Globeville Landing Natural Playground site.
The dual parkettes include a Log Mash® play structure and boulder play system as well as sand & water area, large concrete slide, bird’s nest lookout and plenty of custom-carved seating options surrounded by the newly planted flora. An oasis for the community that provides child development opportunities and sensory engagement.
Background
Designed through collaborative engagement sessions, the playground emphasizes inclusivity and creativity. It was shaped to support art, music, and drama activities, catering to children who may not be drawn to traditional playground structures, while fostering a deeper connection with nature. The space also doubles as an outdoor classroom, allowing for expanded educational opportunities beyond traditional recess activities.
