My wife and I were looking for a new place to enjoy our takeaway lunch and Foothills Community Park…read moreseemed like a good choice since we were nearby. This is a really nice neighborhood open space with lots of walking/hiking/biking trails. Wonderland Lake Wildlife sanctuary is around the corner as well. The gazebo area houses several picnic tables. The restrooms here were clean and well-maintained on the day we came. The playground was small but clean. They also have plenty of recycle and compost bins. The huge grass area is ideal for laying down a blanket and enjoying the view. The only thing to keep in mind is that the wind picks up at times. It is good for flying kites though. After lunch, we took a stroll around the lake. We really liked the tranquility this park had offered and look forward to exploring the trails more.

Only one review? Well let's keep the five star momentum going because this place deserves it! I met…read moreup with some friends here for paddleboarding and was surprised that on a sunny, warmish October day that: A) It was empty. We were the only people on the water for awhile. B) Free parking. Hollllla! McIntosh is nestled in the middle of a residential area and I kind of love that (residents may say other wise). You have a spectacular view of Longs Peak right in front of you and even though you're near an airport, it's pretty quiet. North side has a playground with restroom and there are multiple places to launch from on your sup or kayak. This will be going into my regular rotation for sup next year!

McIntosh is my favorite place to have an impromptu SUP drop-in the water and a frequented stop to take my dogs walking over the years. Parking is free and almost always easy to find. McIntosh does not test their water, so keep that in consideration, especially if you are taking dogs into the water as they can easily get sick or worse from any contaminated/algae bloom lake water. Learn what blue algae is and look for signs before entering.

We have been enjoying visiting Sandstone Ranch Community Park with our dogs. There are plenty of…read moretrails to walk around. We also walk in the grass if fields are empty and play fetch on long lines. There is plenty to do here for non-dog people and the area stays active. We've seen bikers, running groups, bootcamp exercise groups, ultimate frisbee, a walking event, small kiddo playgrounds, and skaters at the skate park. There are soccer fields and baseball fields. There are multiple areas to park and several covered picnic tables spread out. I did see a couple of port-a-potties as well. Maintenance is always out early morning cleaning up but please remember to throw all your trash in available cans. I've seen a mess a time or two. The only downside is we have seen some people setting up camp in trees so we I suggest to be careful in some areas.

My sole purpose for coming to Kanemoto Park was just to see the Japanese Pagoda & Gate…read more At the entrance to the Tower Of Compassion, which is the real name of the Pagoda, stands a red torii gate. There's a tree that is so big that it partially obscures the view of the tower itself if you're standing in front of the torii gate. The tower looks like a traditional Japanese Temple. It was built in 1973. It has 5 stories with each representing the attributes of compassion which are Love, Empathy, Understanding, Gratitude of all Things, and Giving Selflessly of Oneself. You can't enter the Pagoda. Not sure if there's even anything to see, but it might be cool to just look inside! Cool Fact: Longmont City Council has designated this Tower Of Compassion a Local Historical Landmark. In the area in front of the Tower is the Kanemoto Memorial Cherry Tree Grove, where there's a good number of Cherry Trees. I don't think these cherries are edible. This 7-acre park was donated to Longmont by the Kanemoto family in 1966. Side note: This family also gifted 10 more acres of land for other facilities like a Fire Station, Buddhist temple, Episcopal Church, Elementary School and the St. Vrain Greenway. Besides the Tower Of Compassion, this park has a nice playground, activity pool, basketball court, soccer/playing Fields, sand volleyball, & adult exercise equipment. On the cement path leading to the Pool & Tower of Compassion, and just outside of the restrooms, there's a large Dragonfly metal decoration. I love dragonflies, so it was a nice sight! The Left Hand Creek runs alongside this part of the path. It only takes a few minutes to walk to this tower. It's worth a visit if you're in the area. However, I made it a point to stop by on my way to another destination while visiting the area.
