Frolicking Fun At Fulton Park
With more sunny days on the way, it's a great time to explore a new park. We highly suggest checking out Fulton Park, 9920 E. 8th Ave., our most recent park renovation.

New park amenities include:
  • An inclusive playground for kids of all ages and abilities
  • Resurfaced basketball and pickleball courts
  • Shaded natural seating area perfect for classes or events 

ā€œADA Accessibility and inclusiveness were some of the main features we focused on as we went through the redesign process. So, as you look around you can see many inclusive elements from the swings to the trampoline. All of these elements help engage in play, with the intent of having kids of all ages and abilities have the ability to play and interact with one another.ā€ - Nicole Ankeney, Manager of the PROS Planning, Constriction and Design Department.
