The Castle Pines North (CPN) Metro District has completed the upgrade at The Retreat Park. The oldest park in CPN received a face-lift this summer. All of the old equipment was removed and replaced with a new, state-of-the-art playground facility.

The much-needed overhaul brought a new jungle gym, a rock climbing wall, a new sand box, five swings, slides, a glider swing, a covered pavillion and picnic tables. The park also features a new water fountain, complete with a special drinking area for dogs. The gravel was also removed and replaced with wood chips. A vault restroom facility is expected to be completed by December. Special thanks to Metro District Parks and Open Space Manager Charlie Fagan for coordinating this project.
