About the Location
A Natural Playground Adventure
Positioned in Boulder, Columbine Park offers a refreshing take on the typical playground experience with its natural playground structures. Unlike standard metal and plastic equipment, these nature-inspired play areas encourage creative play while providing all the physical benefits of outdoor activity.
One of the coolest features has to be the extended balance path - think pretend tree stumps, rocks, and log balance beams that weave through the area. Your little ones can hop from stump to stump, navigate log tunnels, and practice their balancing skills in a setting that feels more like a forest adventure than a manufactured playground.
Get Your Game On
Fancy a tennis match? The park's tennis court is available for racquet sports. There's also a spacious multi-use field that's great for whatever game you're in the mood for - whether that's an impromptu soccer match or a game of catch.
The open grassy area gives you plenty of room to spread out, toss a frisbee around, or just sprawl out on a blanket with a good book. The wide-open space makes it particularly great for team sports when you've got a group together.
Picnic Paradise
When hunger strikes, head to the covered picnic area where you can enjoy your meal protected from the elements. Throughout the park, you can find plenty of shady spots to escape the Colorado sun on those warmer days.
The well-maintained picnic spaces make this an ideal spot to gather with family or friends for a relaxed outdoor meal - nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned park dining at its best.
The Practical Stuff
You'll find a handicap-accessible portable restroom on-site, so you don't have to cut your park visit short when nature calls.
