Beautiful place for any type of activity. We love this park so much and visit here often

This park is awesome. We go at least once a week. Does anyone know if they turn on the water part of the park during the day? We havent made it there early enough to see if they have it on or not. The playgrounds are awesome though!

Such an adorable park. We went for the splash pad but they fountains were not on. Disappointed in that. No signs or anything explaining why either. But its a large park with lots of picnic tables and grass and two playgrounds (one for bigger kids and one for like 1-5 yr olds)

This is a great park! Bummer that the awesome water feature and facilities are off re Covid. The playground is beautiful, with stuff for kids of all ages. By a huge green grassy area that backs up to a creek. Decent parking and shade. The covered picnic area could have used a scrub on the ground and tables.

Fun park, two primary structures for different ages. We have to get there early because it gets busy, and we have little kids. Plenty of fun even without the splash pad open

Love this park! Especially the wildflowers one finds near the meandering Creek.

We enjoy this park a lot, entertaining for the kids for hours. Usually very clean and a plus that there are bathrooms and plenty a shade and sitting areas. Usually pretty busy though and great when the splash pad is on.

One of my favorite playgrounds in the metro area. Great slide and climbable interactives.

A down to earth centered atmosphere throughout this beautiful park. A very welcome and communal effort goes up into the next level here. Awesome place and even has a skate park on the side of a fairly massive disc golf course. Also very protected with the Arvada police station in the parking lot close to a block up the street. A leaps and bounds kind of goodness and warmth is abound inside The Ralston - Central Park. It is the community efforts back to basics type of mentality. A very harmonious vibration rolls on throughout it. All amenities open around in the constructive processes much of time as well. They have really pulled through this scare with more than just some remedial avengence.

Pros: Nice views, quiet, some shade, right size, great for a picnic.Cons: Windy. Some people are not responsible with their dogs.

Park was very nice and clean. Plenty of space to enjoy kickball. Picnic tables in the shade right next to childrens playground.

Nice and clean. Grandkids had a great time playing on the equipment.

Not too bad if you have kids or dogs, the big grass area is also good for walking, soccer or kite running.

It was peaceful and I wanted to read.

Really fun area. My daughter loved it. Lots and lots of kids so I would come at a later time in the day. Lots of shaded picnic tables and areas to sit. There are restrooms but due to Covid they are closed. Thankfully there is a Walmart down the road so you dont have to use porta potty. Some of the equipment can be really hot during sunny days, but most of it is shaded.

Kids love it every time we go. Make sure to get there before 10 if you want a table during the summer

The Ralston-Central Park is a place the whole family can enjoy. There is a nice, clean jungle gym. There are plenty of benches to sit at. The park has a lot of beautiful sights and focal points. The trails are clean and distinct. There is a lot of wildlife in the park, and there is a stream of crystal clear water running through it.

Nice park, however a bit quiet with the water feature turned off due to covid-19.

It is a cool playground but unfortunately the splash pad isnt working ( Aug 27th, 2020 )

If you have lots of love for frisbee golf this is the place to be!

Nice walk and good to see kids playing again!

Great place to just walk around

Our current favorite place to bring our 2 yr old son.

Great park for our toddlers but the water area is still off for covid currently.

Lovely place with a nice playground and picnic zone

Play ground seems enjoyable for the kids. As for adults, not much to do there unless your into sitting in your car.

The Splash pad is always a great time. Plenty of benches and tables to picnic and wait for kiddos to play the day away! Fun dry park, too. There are paved trails. Bathrooms and an outside shower to rinse off after playtime.

Awesome playground for kiddos all ages. Little ones enjoy looking for the animals hidden around it.

Good lil park, definitely for younger kids as its pretty small but I liked it with my friends.

Kids luv the water park jus so happened a birthday party was going on thank you to the artist

This place is getting run down and kind of worn out, and no one socially distanced and %90 dont wear masks

Nice place for the kids to play.

Great park and the splash pad is so much fun when its on. Covid has everything messed up, the park was empty today

Great with two big playgrounds and splash area.

Very nice n clean park to go have lunch at ,

Nice path to run on, plus a park and splash pad.

Great park for families and people of any age. Two playgrounds perfect for kids, big and small. The best part is the (free) splash play area they have. The playground and splash play area are surrounded by shaded picnic tables making it a great place to bring a cooler and spend the day. There are also clean restrooms nearby.Ralston Park is surrounded endless paved trails that are perfect for a walk, run, bike ride, or walking the dogs. Everyone is always in a good mood and friendly.Across the street is a Taco Bell and KFC if you need a quick bite to eat and a Walmart is within walking distance as well.

Awesome free summer fun. Splash pad is great.

Is a wonderful park with a large open field perfect sunbathing

I discovered this place googling. Very impressed with splash pad. Have gone back with young child a couple of times. Ive recommended to others with young children as well. Go on a hot summer day and splash around!

Cute little park. If you have a family.

First time there yesterday. Loved the variety of slides , swings. There are tables for picnics, charcoal grills. Nice water splash pad- just saw the set up, obviously not working as its winter. There is one beach volleyball court

Nice park for kids and families. Gets packed fast. Summer time a lot of summer camps attend the park on a regular basis.

Great splash pad, nice play area for the kids. I think you can reserve the seated areas, not sure but there always seems to be some sort of festivities there. Happy the park is well used and enjoyed.

Great splash pad and playground combo. Only caveat is that it is a popular park for obvious reasons, so it was very crowded on the two occasions weve visited so far. That meant the parking lot is full and you either wait for others to leave to nab their spot or you park on the residential street across from the park. Also, lots of kids can make it harder to keep track of your own child as they run around. It seems during the week it is a very popular choice for various day cares/summer day camps, so even more children running around than the full parking lot would indicate.

Great place for kiddos!

Love this park! It has a play place for toddlers and a separate play place for older kids and I love that it is also a water park! My kiddos have lots of fun every time.

Great splash pad and playground for my 2 and 4 year old. Today was pretty crazy busy though. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that there were just so many birthday parties taking up every table - even tables not in use for birthday parties yet to come were already set up and couldnt be used. Im not sure if there is a reservation/ permit system in place. If there is then the parties should be stacked a bit more to allow for some space for park users who arent there for a party. Still had a good time! Glad to be able to enjoy this park with my kiddos.

Splash pad awesome. Gets a little packed but always fun!

Nice family park. The splash pad is free and there is a very cute, large playground next to it. There are walking paths that I havent been down yet, but they look nice.

The kids love this park. It is their favorite.

Great park, well taken care of. Perfect for walking, jogging or cycling. Kids will love the playground and splash pad. Plenty of benches and shade, has fully functional restrooms. Such a great park that it can get crowded.

Nice open area, playground and splash pad

Good place to hang out

Greetings, the splash pad is amazing & very, very popular. We only attend on weekdays after school is back in session. It shuts down ends of the day on Labor Day. Happy trails

This park is a great place to have a birthday party or just bring the kids for fun. The splash pad is big and fun for all ages. I definitely recommend this park.

There is alot of activity and the playground is huge my 4 year old loved it!

Great park my mom lives close so we always take the kids whenever in Arvada. And they have a great splash pad in the summer!

Just walking through. I didnt stop it anything but it is a good o as r. Not great but better than most. lots of fun times happen here.

Awesome park for kids. It has two playgrounds for varying ages, lots of open space, and a splash pad. The only down side is that everyone else also knows how awesome this place is, so sometimes it can get crowded and hard to find parking.

It is under construction right now that is why I was there cutting out the concrete.The pool looks like it is getting a lot of extensive work done to it so Im sure its going to be amazing at that time but right now its closed down

Great spray park but oh my god was it supper busy!!! at least 3 camps where there. And I wasnt really a big fan of the kids that had over taken the slide and were pouring water down it. kids came out so fast they had a person at the bottom catching them. found out later my.kods werent a big fan of it.

No hate...worked in area

We love this place and the public water features

Nice park for family fun. I jog my dog here everyday, nice people, nice view, and I love hearing the water going by. Under the bridge is the other HALF of this park. Small play ground but a very nice Frisbe Golf course. Please pay attention to the signs, as there is NO SMOKING of any kind.

Ok....but would be better with more trees

Great water park run by apex recreation. Field and playground and park around it is quite nice. Good facilities too.

Well designed splash pad, nice sized playground.

Quiet,family oriented park, pedestrian through ways

Arvada Parks are all excellent & with about a 100 of them ur assured of a good experience. Thanks Arvada Parks for what you do for our Community!

Still Remember The Skating Rink And Pool. Many Upgrades And Improvements. A Missed Stop. A 45 Year Favorite For Frisbee Playing!!!

Great park for birthdays

Love this park, fun dry area with multiple tiered play area for many ages. Really cool little water play area during summer months.

My daughter and I love going to the water park in the summer and playing along the creek in the winter.

The park was very nice, clean and the equipment was great for the kids. The playground was perfect to let the kids blow off energy and be able to see them from all angles at all time. I would go back to this park again. Very well maintained as well.

Awesome choice during the summer season, especially if that wallets tight!

My kids really enjoyed the splash pad, and restrooms were clean and reasonably convenient. A good place to cool off on a hot summer day.

Great splash pad in the summer, good park year round, beautiful view and walk by the creek.

Great park for the family! It is also great for fun time for the kids in the splash pad.

Over crowded. No way to reserve tables. Be there at crack of dawn or bring your own popup table. Older kids are mean to younger kids and most of their parents are not around to correct them.

Fun for kids and the family

Great little spot for kids to play, the splash pad got a little crowded but the kids were having a blast and probably didnt even notice. Bummer its not open past Labor Day tho!

Great place to take the kid to play! Really nice playground. Laid back atmosphere. Looking forward to splash park to open up.

Free water park for the grandkids. Strange homeless (loose marbles) guy there having a blast with the kiddos. Strange but harmless.

Playground is nice, but the splash pad was turned off and I couldnt figure out how to turn it on. Thats the reason we went over there on this 95 degree day!

We had so much fun today! The splash pad is larger than others weve been to. The playground has something for kids of all ages. The park is clean and there are quite a few covered pic nic tables.

Great place for kids. Especially on a hot day. Convenient parking available.

Totally awesome! Something for everyone and public restrooms that arent port-a-pottys. The only downfall is how popular it is.

Wonderful for my grandaughter! She enjoys it so much.

It was free and amazing! My kid had fun with the other kids and i will be going back

With the grandchildren. Visiting from Maryland. Nice park. Locals are blessed to have these nice parks!

Really big and fun playground. As well as a really big green space.

Nice park. Crowded on weekends. Toilet facilities were very clean. Nice water features for the youngsters.

It’s a great park. It has a splash pad. It’s only open in the summer. The rest of the park is great two playgrounds one for little kids under 5 and one for kids over 5.

No place out of the shade. Also the trees are now gone and cant reserve the tables, pe ople come at 6 in the morning and dont leave until dark. The grass along the glutch look like weeds. So disappointed they way it turned out.

This park is a great place to enjoy with your children. Great park and fun water features. Great summer fun

Enjoyed the park, really good place to go.

Nice little park

This park has a great water playground. Our 15 month old daughter loved it.

Amazing park!!! I wish we had a park like this in our hometown. What an amazing asset to the community!
