You can street park and jump on the loop sidewalk surrounding a small pond. There's a nice fountain and birds are often gathering. My dog enjoys all the smells and woods features. Lots of trees. It's a nice place for a picnic too with a big shelter. You could even pull over on a road trip and take a little stroll. Close to the school and shopping center.

This is a fun little park in Old Town Lafayette age is appropriate for toddlers and older with…read moreadult supervision. There are some picnic tables in the shade for snacks and a play area of rock shapes for clambering with smaller children needing safety spotters. It has a safe ground surface typical of playground areas like this. On a very hot bright day there is limited shade and there is free street parking available nearby. We arrived with three adults and one 5 year old. In the previous visit the child's parent told us it had been virtually empty. When we arrived this day, there was a group of adults visiting together, with toddler and preschool age kids who seemed to know each other, so something preplanned, maybe a summer play group or camp type group. They were packing up and leaving so very shortly we had the place mostly to ourselves. Other than the heat, it was fun. The park has some historical significance as the Simpson Coal mine that was at one time the center of Lafayette industry was near here and the park designed around that theme. The stone entry and picnic area backdrop are done in layered local sandstone with a simulated black call seam apparent through it. It also continues onto the ground play surfacing so you can see the coal color stripe extend around the park. Bring water and shade hats and sun protection as needed for the bright summer sun. As we found out, it was very hot in late morning and we later moved on to some indoor food and sun relief. At other times of year I expect it is more comfortable.

A fabulous local park for everyone, especially close to north boulder/gunbarrel & niwot areas…read more This park has an excellent playground for toddlers. Truly great if your kids are between 2-5yrs old, this is a wonderful motor skills playground. It has a woodland theme with cute mushroom steps & faux wood decorative details. There is a permanent shaded picnic bench area with two long picnic benches. No bbq facilities anywhere. There are also benches throughout for close by seating. In the summer they put out two cloth tarps for shading the sandpit and part of the playground too. There are a few huge green grass areas great for frisbee & soccer fun. Also a long pathway around good for bikes & scooters. The neighborhood locals walk their dogs on it and it leads to a longer trail network. There is no bathroom here at all tho! Definitely worth a visit however.
