Heritage Dells Park Playground
Project Updates
December 5, 2024
Get ready to upgrade your play! We heard your feedback and we are so excited to bring this new, inclusive playground project to our community.
The approved playground design incorporates the design elements our community indicated were of highest priority as gathered through online and in-person outreach.
Heritage Dells Playground Design Concept:
The above image was produced/created by Altitude Recreation, Inc. and GameTime. Features include:
- Multi-story structure
- Slides
- Traditional and disc swings
- Sensory elements
- Climbing structures
- Shade structures
- Pour-in-place surfacing
- Sand play area
Work on the project is expected to begin in early 2025, with completion anticipated by June of 2025. Playground and trail closures and detours through the park will be required.
More information on closures and construction timelines will be communicated ahead of the project start in the new year.
Oct. 23, 2024
The project was released for proposals on Oct. 18 with a closing date of Nov. 8, 2024.
From the online survey and pop-up event feedback received, we requested in the Request for Proposals (RFP) that proposed designs include at least one slide that is 10’-15’ tall, a multi-occupancy swing, a multi-occupancy spinning element, pour-in-place rubber safety surfacing, and a small sand play area. The play structure will likely incorporate a bright color palette but that will be determined after a proposal is selected.
Depending on the responses we receive from the RFP, we expect to make a final design selection by late November.
Upgrade Your Play Time!
The City of Golden is updating the playground at Heritage Dells Park with all new equipment. But we aren't the ones who'll be playing on it, so we need your feedback (that means you too, kids)!
We want to hear from the neighborhoods around Heritage Dells to better understand what kind of playground best suits your needs.

Project Background
This project is a reinvestment in Heritage Dells Park infrastructure. The current playground was installed in 1997 and has surpassed its life expectancy of 20 years. A new playground will provide improved recreational, developmental, and accessible opportunities, along with industry standard safety surfacing, for children across a wide range of ages and abilities.
