Great playground, definitely a place to check out if you are visiting Boulder.

Bring bikes, access to great Boulder county bike path system.

Kids love the rocket jungle gym structure.  Echo chamber is cool.

A neat and unusual playground with the Flatirons as a backdrop.

It was my buddy's last day in Boulder, and a few of us had gathered outside one of our favorite bars. We made our way to the park and found ourselves a celebratory spot among the sputtering sprinklers. A great send off.

I also used to live a few blocks from this park, and I've had some great afternoons here. It's a great place to ride your bike and get in some quality reading and writing. It's also a nice place to sled in the winter.

Of course, its namesake is one of Boulder's most famous sons, Scott Carpenter, esteemed astronaut, thus the NASA theme to the park.

There is a giant 4+ story spaceship jungle gym. Need I really say more?

(Okay, for anyone who said yes, stop talking to your computer, and here's the rest of the dirt. Besides the totally awesome lunar themed playground this park boasts a skatepark, pool, baseball fields and a great hill to sled on come wintertime.)

This is a great Boulder park, which is highly accessible: not only does it have its own private lot, it is also is located right off of the Boulder creek path, and is close to the CU campus.

This park has a nice hill (a.k.a. kick-ass sledding in winter) and a skate-park which is always packed. It even has a graffiti-wall where taggers can duel it out legally. Now that's cool.

Oh, and check out the playground for the kids.

Beautiful and empty on moonlit nights...I love this place.
