Nice beautiful walk through Boulder, CO. This park is built along Boulder creek right next to town and campus, and has great trails to ride your bike, jog, or simply walk. Has cool bridges and goes underneath road systems. Lots of benches for you to rest at or to just sit down and enjoy the sun.

Beautiful bit of downtown Boulder. Right next to the amazing library and Boulder creek. during my short visit to the city I spent a good amount of time here, enjoying the spring flowers and sunshine. My dogs liked seeing the many other dogs out for a walk and the lost tennis balls we found. ️

Very fun. Very good place to cool off and relax. Albeit the water is freezing, but what else would you expect from running mountain water?

Was very clean and enjoyable. Dogs are allowed which is a plus in my book. And u can get in the water to cool off if u want.

I highly recommend the Boulder Creek Fest which is Memorial day weekend Sat-Mon! Otherwise the park is pretty peaceful when there arent events going on and theres a nice spot to wade into the creek if its a hot day. Other events include farmers markets and concerts throughout the year

The park next to downtown in the heart of Boulder. Home to festivals , Farmers Market , the Art Museum and countless Boulderites just laying by the creek on a summers day . 4 stars because the homeless are still overtaking the amphitheater during non event times and it does affect the safety in the park

Beautiful walk along Boulder Creek. If you look, you can see the trout. It was the first time my granddog met a brown trout. A kiss and back in the water he went.

Fantastic park in the heart of Boulder. A must see. Families running around and playing in the water. I took a nap there by accident and woke up refreshed and felt safe. They have nature preserves in the park. So you can look at how the area would be without human intervention. Definitely going back

Amazing location for hiking or walking alone or in pairs and groups for a day outing or short jaunt. Beautiful scenery that shows you the heart of mother nature in the center of Boulder. Come visit and enjoy the natural splendor!!! Includes sidewalks and park benches. Parking limited except on Sundays, as there is mostly parking for the judicial building across the street. Its so worth it and very peaceful. Enjoy!!!!

Such a beautiful park with the river running through. Plenty of grassy chill spots, a bike path, and waterfront areas to stick your feet in. I love the farmers market and festivals in this park. Great place to chill and let the kids play!

Review №35

I guess the way I would suggest this walk is to start somewhere down by 28th and Arapahoe and walk up the entire Boulder Creek theres more parking down this area that you dont have to worry about paying and how long you are there you go up the path its really kind of cool if youve pick an time you know no commuters a lot of bicycles and so if you pick time right lets call you see the rainbow trout in the creek the Ducks but its pretty quiet and you can go all the way up and sneak up on Pearl Street Mall without paying for parking theres a lot of cool restaurants people watching or you going to keep on the creek and go all the way past the library and theres another park past that all the way up into Boulder Canyon

Review №41

It was hot today! Whew thank the designers of this park for leaving trees as part of the experience. If not for them days like this in the 90 degree range could be unbearable. I like this park pretty much any time of year. Its magical in the winter and busy with life in the spring. Constant festivals and events are held here so there is almost always something to do; even if youre not there for the creek.

Beautiful location to walk around or have a picnic! Very family/dog friendly! My family just took a vacation to Boulder, but this sort park definitely makes me consider moving to the area. Beautiful backdrop with the mountains! Close to shops (Pearl Street)

Review №56

It’s a pretty park and there’s a nice little stream. The amount of homeless wandering here is sad. If the city is going to allow people to live free like this they should provide for them. Including shelter, food, mental healthcare and maybe even some part time work to give them an opportunity and an inner sense of purpose. It’s sad to see people living like that and in a community that supposedly wants to make a difference.

I take my kiddos here to fish in the kids fishing pond near Boulder creek. Great spot to teach kids about fishing, and get them excited about catching fish. Can be crowded, and there will certainly be the occasional homeless travelers passing through but I would definitely recommend taking the little ones.

The opportunity to enjoy multiple outside experiences in the city of Boulder is right here. Examples Fallon river walking great restaurants nearby for taking out and sitting and watching the open stage of anyone who might be performing or even throwing the good old frisbee. Just seeing the traffic as you sit after checking out the library is amazing and I love the people that live in my city.

Walked through this part of Boulder on one of the trails. It was picturesque and pretty in the snow. At the moment there is a lot of construction going on so watch the signs to stay on the path. The library at the west end of the park is amazing.

Theres only one real quote Central Park on quote that would be in New York City. Any other City calling its Park Central Park is ridiculous. So thats the first part of my review my second part of my review is that I have no idea where or what this is and it says I was there 9 or 10 months ago I have no clue.? What is up with Google Maps suddenly showing me this thing that I have no clue where what when how why?????
