LORIS provided full structural engineering services for the park's building and site structures, including three restroom buildings with prominent architectural feature shade canopies composed of cantilevered glulam beams. Other buildings house a wet well and parks maintenance equipment storage. A unique two-story treehouse structure is accessible by two bridge links that bring visitors into and above a natural wooded area. Site features include a triumphal entry arch of 60' span and 30' rise, a pond overlook and foundation design for numerous site water features.

The Rocky Mountain News listed Westlands Park as No. 1 on their "Top Ten Best Playgrounds in the Denver Metro Area".

The project has received two awards: The American Society of Landscape Architects Colorado Chapter 1999 Merit Award for Design, and the American Institute of Architects Colorado North Chapter Merit Award for Design of Small Projects 1999.
