Parker Colorado Skate Park – Fun things for kids.

Apr 19th 10

filed under: Fun Things to Do, Just Cool Photos

Skate Park in Parker CO.

Skate Park in Parker CO.

It’s been a truly epic, sick, totally cool, rad, wicked, tweaked day at the Parker Skate Park. Parker Colorado built a new skate park a few years ago and it seems to be a hit with the kids. I’ve been here with my 5 year old at least 20 times over the past 2 years and there is always at least a few kids here skating, biking or riding scooters. Good job Parker, Colorado! Sometimes it gets pretty crowded.

My take on bringing kids here is that it is a great place to come. There is a massive pool area for the kids to ride in and ramps, rails, benches, stairs, drops and mini pools for them to enjoy. I guess about anything a skater, biker or scooter rider could want.

“My son just turned 5 a month ago and he’s been coming here for a few years and loves it.”

The big kids are very respectable to the little guys (other than the language) so they all seem to get along well. I guarantee your little guy or gal will come home with new words to try around the house. Some not so good words too.

For the parents there are benches and a small covered area with more seating. The tennis courts seem to be popular for the tennis moms. Most parents just hang out on the benches or walk around trying to get photos of their kids.

Don’t worry about trying to dodge the kids on their boards. They will get close at times but I’ve not had any of the “wildlife” run into me yet. Better to let them maneuver around you then try and run through their crazy riding.

Small Kids? Yes there is a great playground adjacent to the skate park that my 22 month old loves.

How to get here? The Parker Colorado skate park is located off Twenty Mile Road in Parker Colorado. Turn on Twenty Mile from either Lincoln Ave or Mainstreet in Parker and you will see it.

The Parker CO Skate Park can also be accessed by bike since it’s located just off the Cherry Creek Bike Path.

Thank you Parker Colorado for building a great place for our kids!

The Home Buyer Tax Credit is Going Away!

Home Buyer Tax Credit

I guess we can all kiss the government Home Buyer Tax Credit bye, bye, bye.  From the reports I’ve read and information I’ve heard it appreas to be going away with not much of a chance for a second extension.

NAR , The National Association of Realtors,  appears to have given up hope of getting it extend and posted this information on a website.

“NAR has had extensive discussions with congressional allies and concluded that an additional extension of the tax credit is unlikely. While lawmakers recognize that the tax credit helped stabilize the market, it appears that much of the benefit has been realized. NAR is now focusing on improving the availability of financing.”

Well that sure is a bummer but at least we know they are going to now try and work out the many wrinkles in the mortgage industry. This should be interesting going forward.

Congratulations to all you buyers and sellers that took advantage of the tax credit and received your benefits.

Stonegate Neighborhood Pool Additions Almost Complete!

Apr 2nd 10

filed under: Real Estate Answers, Stonegate

New Clubhouse for the Stonegate Pool

New Clubhouse for the Stonegate Pool

Stonegate neighborhood in Parker Colorado is receiving a massive remodel/face lift/addition to the “SOUTH” pool and looks like it should be completed pretty soon. My kids are excited and cannot wait for the new kids pool.

This was a total shock to most residents as most had no idea this was even on the schedule to be done. Even better it didn’t cost any Stonegate homeowners any extra money.

I can’t wait to see the inside of this new clubhouse and pool are when it’s done. I can see that there will be some nice parties this summer in this new space.

There is no doubt that this massive improvement will help the home sales in the Stonegate neighborhood.

Current Stonegate home for sale 15972 Crestrock Circle.
