### 2/5 — Nothing works until you upgrade

*2026-04-26*

I like the idea of the app and just wish it didn’t pop up with the “upgrade to premium to use this feature” which is literally every feature. So I’m looking for something new

### 5/5 — A Must-Have for any Denver parent!

*2024-10-23*

I use this app alllllll the time. The map and photos are a game changer!! The different search features make it easy to find a nearby park for any outing, and it’s super easy to discover new parks we have to check out. I recommend this app all the time!

### 5/5 — Great resource!

*2024-04-27*

I use the app to find fun parks to visit with my grandchildren.  I love being able to pull up parks near wherever we are in the metro and get ratings and pictures on the fly.  The ratings and descriptions are usually spot on!

### 5/5 — Indispensable for Denver parents

*2022-06-14*

Use it on a weekly basis. I can’t believe how many playgrounds are included in this app. Planning ahead is now a breeze! My kids love playgrounds and we finally know which ones to go to. No more guessing or Googling!

### 1/5 — Used to love it, now it never works

*2021-04-29*

I’ve tried everything from uninstalling to rebooting my phone. It opens and immediately shuts down as it tells me about the new version. So sad.  My kids have loved checking out all the hidden gems of parks we have found on the app.

I have tried contacting the developer but every time I submit a message it says the website is impersonating the mail website and tells me it’s to go back because it could be stealing my information.

**Developer response:** I wish more users would take advantage of the Contact Me button instead of leaving negative reviews. I respond to all inquiries and requests!

Thanks for alerting me that my website’s Contact Me function was not working! Please contact me directly at denverplaygrounds at gmail dot com

### 5/5 — Best. App. Ever!

*2021-01-14*

Hands down my favorite app!  I have two kiddos and I use this constantly to find a new park near us.  I cannot thank the creator of this enough for all the time and effort it must have taken to create.  I love that you can filter down to different ratings, features, etc. AMAZING! 🙌

### 5/5 — Updating my review - good customer service

*2020-12-06*

I was having trouble accessing the upgrade. I contacted the owner and they resolved the issue. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Best app I have

*2020-08-14*

This app has been a miracle for our family! I have a 2 year old boy who is obsessed with an excavator we found at a park in Boulder. We live in very central Denver and any time I would ask him if he wanted to go to the park he would repeatedly ask for the excavator/digger. I have spent many hours driving by parks I found on google maps looking for diggers (all unsuccessfully). This app showed me where the diggers are and even “hidden” playgrounds in parks I wouldn’t think to visit. We found our “dream” park near our house because of this app. As a mom of a very high energy kid, I can’t thank you enough.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2020-08-01*

I really like this app, it has so many parks and I really like being able to search by feature. I have been trying to find outdoor parks with hockey rinks and this app has made this process much easier. I like that I can save parks to my favorites so I remember what ones I liked. They only think I wish I could change is I wish there was a way to add features. For example, Community Park in the North region does have a hockey rink. I know because I have been there, but the app does not have this as a feature so when I search for parks with hockey It doesn’t show up. It would be nice to have a way to add feature or to submit features to be added to continue to improve the accuracy of the app.

**Developer response:** Great review! Please use the "Contact Me" button (under "Info") to send me a list of hockey rinks you found. I will add them to the next version release.

### 1/5 — Paid for this app

*2019-09-06*

Paid for this app, now won’t let me use it in the old version. I must pay AGAIN to use what I paid for.  Not cool to trick people.   I’ll use google, thanks.
