New Park Features Musical Instruments, Climbing Challenges, Picnic Shelters

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - Dirt is flying in one Lakewood neighborhood to make way for a new playground.

The city broke ground on a new playground in Carmody Park Wednesday morning. It's billed as Lakewood's first universally accessible playground -- meaning children of all abilities will be able to play together.
