A New Place to Play: Hideaway Park Playground Ribbon Cutting on June 18, 2026

Winter Park, CO — Winter Park is celebrating the new Hideaway Park Playground opening on June 18, 2026, with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The ceremony will begin at 4:30 p.m. after which attendees are welcome to experience the new playground and stick around for the first High-Note Thursday Concert of the summer.

The new playground structure and equipment reflect a commitment to design driven by local inspiration, community, and history. The new play structure, designed by Earthscapes, features custom equipment, including a nod to the Historic Moffat Tunnel, Parry Peak, and a custom climbing structure of a bear.

“We’re so excited to bring this updated playground and play equipment to our families and community members in Winter Park. With Hideaway Park being a central hub for our community events and gatherings, we’re grateful to be able to create a safe space for kids to play that reflects our history and values,” said Town of Winter Park Public Works Director, Jamie Wolter.

The $2.4 million project was developed with direct input from the Town Council and creates a one-of-a-kind play environment that connects children and families to the history and natural beauty of the region. Landscape and fencing design, as well as broader park improvements, were led by Kimley-Horn and included the new posts for all of the shade sails at the adjacent Skate Park. Fisk Lawnscapes served as the general contractor and coordinated all subcontractors to complete the project on time.

The playground will be open to all following the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The project began in April of 2026 and stayed on schedule throughout the process. The Town of Winter Park invites all community members to come out and play this summer at the new Hideaway Park Playground.
