Quaint little park built in central Boulder. Next to one of the local public pools that was renovated in late 2019.

Great newly renovated Park. Very clean and lots to do, dog friendly, has a small skate park attached, plenty of playground space for kids as well.

First snow day of this season and Scott park’s slope was the perfect place to warm up for the season! Lovely park

A good park with 3 sets of play equipment for toddlers, 3-5s, and 5+. Plus, it has swings for babies and older kids and a couple unique features like a meteor climbing rock and a crater sand box. The whole park is space themed. It also has a cool acoustic feature that creates an eerie echo effect that kids enjoy playing in.Great place for sledding in the winter. Has a nice bunny hill with a flat top and plenty of space for many families. Would be excellent for a blanket picnic in the warmer months.There are walking paths that go past and around the park with nice views of the mountains.

The park has a great playground for kids aged between 3-12. Lots of swings and a tall slide. The park is also close to the skatepark and pool.

Cute park with a view. My 4 year old loved it!

Really neat spots at points to enjoy nature can be a gateway especially now. The ducks and squirrels are really active and have great personality.

Easy in.and out east on line booking. Gorgeous new facility. Great staff..one if Boulders best.

Nice Park with allot of amenities, open green space, and free parking. Park offers quick access to the Boulder Creek Trail which is cycle friendly.

Pools, play ground, open space, Boulder creek, skate boarding, and sledding in the winter! This park has it all! We live a few miles North but always end up biking to Scott Carpenter a handful of times each year.

Baseball in the fall, Scott Carpenter field is a great place to play.

Fun park to spend the afternoon. We usually packed food and brought a football along to throw. Happy memories.

This was fun to built, a lot of welding. Its gonna look awesome this summer.

Its under construction right now, so limited parking, but its beautiful and lovely and has perfect creek/creek path access! Love it!

Find another place w a rocketship like that

Super peaceful. I stop here with my fiance and kiddo every time were near it.

Park here for free to access the Boulder Creek Path. Be prepared to see plenty of potheads and vagrants.

The new pools are great . Love the heated lap pool! After hour skinny dipping a must here!!

Beautiful park lots of openness for picnic in the grass or games running nice playground

Love the park. Its peaceful.

A beautiful place to just sit and relax

Has a playground skatepark and a pool for every one to enjoy

Love this park and surroundings.

I had my husbands memorial here at the graffiti park. It was beautiful and fully legal for any spray-painter

Great place to hang and relax while the kids burn off some energy!

This park is so wonderful! Easily one of the best in Boulder. Plus it has an amazing sledding hill

Nice open hilly grass area. Very close to a skate park, Boulder Creek Path, and a future pool.

Awesome moments took place at the baseball Diamond

Nice place to hangout for picnics, yoga sessions and frisbees

There is free public internet at this park. There is a skate park and unique playground.

Very nice area for Frisbee or picnics

Nice park. Though beware of the big siren nearby!

Great place to play

Great bigger kids swings!

This might be one of the cooler parks weve ever been to. There literally is something for every aged kiddo to do. The complex is being renovated so parking is tight but it seems like itll be an even better facility when its done.

Nice field. Nice location.

Great park with good grass

I came here when I was a little child and so has my son! Vibes are great people are chill. Go swimming go skate whatever, enjoy!

Ongoing road construction slowed traffic.

A nice clean park for all adjacent to Boulder Creek. And of course, sledding down the hill after a snow is a local favorite.

Great views of Mountain and close to creek activities. Good for children and family, playground, sledding when snow, skate park. A block from Home Depot and King Soopers, gas station, restaurants and Smoker Friendly.

This park is right in the middle of Boulder and the boulder creek path runs right along it. Amazing place to walk any time of year

Helping build the new water park

Great park for kids. Unique rocketship to climba dn all that standard items, such as lots of swings and slides. This is also one of the better places to slgo sliding when there is snow in the winter. There is a port a potty and its next door to a great swimming pool.

Great place to hang out and enjoy the sunshine!

Rocket is unique. The water park will be nice when finished.

Nice open space even with snow. Bring your sled

Best pool in town

Great park! Its right in the middle of Boulder. You can walk along to the Boulder creek path to pearl street, 29th street mall and even as far as campus if you needed. Plenty of space hanging out, park for kids and even a public pool thats being renovated. Would definitely recommend.

This park is really fun. Its next to a pool too. You have to pay for the pool but its not much! Theres a biking/hiking trail nearby too and a stream or a river..not sure but me and my kids love it there. You can easily spend all day here. Theres a huge hill and an amazing view next to the playground. We bring food and water and stay a while.

Great place for humans and dogs with sticks!

Amazing.

Great service

Been going. Here my entire life great to see a re vamp of the entire park great job boulder city works and park maintenance !

Kids LOVE the rocket ship but playground equipment needs work. Beautiful mature trees and large grass hill leading to Boulder creek. Fun

Some shade, usually busy, no lights.

Even though this place might not look like much it holds dear to childrens hearts. There is a hill next to the park witch adds extra entertainment!

Beautiful park with gorgeous trees!

This is definitely a unique park. It is known as the rocket ship park nearby, and even as an adult I still enjoy visiting it. There are a lot of interactive items there, including an echo chamber. It is pretty interesting, especially for a park in the middle of Boulder.

Its a better than average park with a great area for exercise or reading. Also has the coolest tower rocket ever that I still climb as a 23 year old

Great place for kids older than 5... their still building this park though, so more to come... well see what happens

This is a really nice park with a big open space with grass. Many people like to sit on the grass and enjoy the nice atmosphere.

Though theyre doing construction work at the park, right now, it doesnt take away from the beauty of the creek and trees. Im sure when the construction is done, the park will indeed deserve 5 stars.

Nice park

Be sure to climb all the way up to the top of the rocket ship! In winter, enjoy the great sledding hill!

Great park. Currently undergoing renovation where they are putting in a pool so some parts are closed.

Kids totally love the rocket.

Still awesome. If you like swimming above water, and if not, the Dive Club Once Upon a Time in South Boulder would love to teach you how right here during the summer and fall.

The pool is being constructed right now but the park is nice

For a place that used to be a dump, there a great hill which is used during the Winter snow days as a sled zone.The park is named after astronaut Scott Carpenter, and there is a rocket ship in memoriam of his life here in the City of Boulder.The pool is currently being rebuilt, so parking is extremely limited for the moment, for your information.The park is quite safe, with transients (state trooper name for homeless pop.) keeping to themselves at the picnic benches and on the East fields. Watch out taking the BIKE PATH which is cramped especially at the Mountain/Creek-facing corner! This corner, which appears deceivingly as a footpath to both tourists and the elderly alike, is in fact part of a Bike Path! Unless you want to get creamed at 20 mph I suggest taking the dirt path (adjacent, will upload pics soon) or finding another route! The ambulances have blocked this path on more than one occasion whilst cleaning up.

Nice baseball field, skate park and big swimming pool! Great location too.

Gonna have some sweet new pools finally.

I will always love going to the park here. And the swimming pool has always been my favorite part of the day when Im here.

A great park for kids and adults. Sunshine, large grassy field, great playground equipment, riverside and bike path access, this park had pretty much everything. A fun place for a workout while the kiddo plays at the park. Probably her favorite park in Boulder.

Good place for kids to play.

Field is well maintained and good quality. Although the visiting bullpen is close to the fence and field. Additionally, the ballpark is close to streets, so many foul balls are lost.

They were improving the park.but i know it will come out nice*:)

Great spot along the creek a bit of parking construction at the moment so bus or bike or walk over

The kids still call it the rocket ship park. They absolutly loved it there.

Very clean, open park.

This place is awesome, there is a ballpark, park and skate park. One of the best in the city, the street section is very smooth and cement, the pools and transitions are super nice. Lots of parking and easy access.

Its pretty big, lots of room to spread out. I typically dont go here, because I prefer the off leash dog trails/parks. Its a good place to go to meet a group of friends, though.

Its kinda boring but little kids love it

Good during the day, not so much at night. The park itself is great, but the bathrooms need some taking care of. There are junkies sleeping in the bathrooms and paraphernalia on the ground around the bathrooms. I’ve walked in on a few with my young son in tow, and I’ve seen lots of children, young children, go in those bathrooms alone.

Previously the old Boulder landfill and wastewater treatment plant - now a community pool and park! This park has a lot of open grass space for picnicing, playing frisbee, or running your dog. The hill is a prime sledding spot after a snow. They also have a playground, swings, and a skate park. Plenty of parking too. I recommend coming right before sunset to watch the sun fade below the tips of the flatirons.

Nice place for my grandson

Great for sledding. Great for bike trail destination. Great for picnics. Great kid meet up location.

Have kids? This scenic park is a great place to play. Great playground equipment, skate park and pool or just enjoy a roll down the big green hill. This is a place where people practice Tai Chi and Karate or just sit in the shade. Boulder Creek is nearby if its hot and you want to wade in the water...though be careful as currents can run strong in spring. In winter, after a snow, this is the place to come for great sledding. Bring the dog but keep in mind they need to remain on a leash.

Good little swimming hole just down the trail.... watch your gear close.... ballfield isnt bad.... playground is nice sized.... swimming pool seems nice has a climbing wall and a diving board not very busy.......well manicured grounds..... trails are nice very busy with rude bikers though.....

This is an excellent public park in Boulder, with a playground, skate park, swimming pool, and a large grassy, hilly area. The park itself is a terrific place for picnics and sledding, depending on the time of year. Perhaps best of all, its a place to enjoy the legacy of Scott Carpenter, one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts and a true hero. He laid the groundwork for the pursuit of science, knowledge, and exploration that has become a hallmark of Boulder.

This is my favorite park in Boulder right now. It has free parking and is centrally located. It has plenty of space for little feet to run around. It also has a nice mixture of play structures. Kids between 1 and 10 should find opportunities for fun activity. It on the bike path and not far from the creek. Smaller children need close supervision here!That said, anyone who grew up in Boulder has fond memories of scaling, then playing in the rocket. Plus, it seems more stable now ;) Its nice to go to a park that was a lot of fun when you were young and see that its well maintained and exciting for your children.

The “rocket ship park” is a great park to run around. The creek isn’t far and also fun to explore.

Great sledding when there is snow

Great place to visit in all seasons.Whether you like to sled in the snow or enjoy the spring sunshine, Scott Carpenter Park is the place to be. With a lot of activities for kids, its the perfect family spot.It is right by the Boulder creek and easy access to 29th street.

Sledding, running, space rocket playground, skating, biking, swimming... what more do ya need?

The playground area is quite nice.

It is in the middle of construction. It will be great when completed

Great space/rocket themed park.

Perfect amount of seating and shade. Lots of safe and fun equipment. Even things that educate the kids.

Great park all year round. But specially in the winter, great place to take kids sledding. Lots of fun. It also has a great playground with a cool rocket kids can climb inside.
