AdmissionFree entry
The Corral is the universally accessible playground inside John Venezia Park on the north side of Colorado Springs. The city describes it as a ranch-themed play space for ages 2 to 12 with accessible swings, elevated pathways, accessible play panels, accessible slides, rubber surfacing, and a sandbox. Families also benefit from the larger park setting, which adds shade shelters, interior sidewalks, nearby restrooms in the spray-ground area, parking, and reservable pavilions for a longer outing.
