Vail Valley Parks & Playgrounds
Explore Vail’s parks for an entertaining outing with the kids. Pack a lunch and bring the bikes as most of the parks can be found along the 12-mile Gore Valley Trail recreation path which extends from Dowd Junction to the base of Vail Pass, or along the North Recreation Path which follows the North Frontage Road from West Vail to the Main Vail roundabout. Ford Park playground features a large custom play area that includes a suspension bridge, climbing wall, multiple structures, climbers and slides that are meant to challenge kids of all ages. Pirateship Park best exemplifies the town’s tradition of custom-designed playgrounds. The newly rebuilt ship structure includes a crow’s nest, three deck levels, multiple climbing nets and even a plank. Donovan Park playground includes structures made of peeled logs as well as whimsical art elements. Its visibility from I-70 attracts many traveling families during the summer months that marvel at its craftsmanship.
