    Great place for dog walks, picnics, and sunsets! You can see far into the flatirons and the…read morereflection across the lakes are spectacular! Winter is a great time to explore with the colors you can see. The pond scum comes a bit more in the summer but beautiful nonetheless. I've seen people fishing and kayaking there though I'm not sure either are allowed. I love being here for the nature! They have tennis courts and lots of walking trails. This is a great south boulder park that everyone should visit!

    I used to go to this park and the adjacent South Boulder Rec Center decades ago when I was in the…read moreTable Mesa neighborhood more frequently. After a long absence, I have returned to use the trail around Viele Lake as my preferred exercise location. Trying to get into a more regular walking routine, I needed to find a place that I could maintain a good pace, was not crowded and had interesting views. Nothing within walking distance of my house fits that description so I thought I should go see what is happening in this part of town. Yes, in the politics of Boulder, I do have to drive my "evil" car to this location, but traffic and parking is never an issue and I can be there in about 6 minutes. The view of the Flatirons from here is fantastic, the lake is pretty and the trees and parkland around it very pleasing. There are some playing fields behind the Rec Center that are used for practice groups from the nearby Fairview HS on many days. In the weekday mornings it is mostly a place to find seniors and parents with small kids in strollers on the paved trail. Also, an occasional school group doing a little investigating of the pond life. They have added restrooms and a picnic shelter recently near the playground. As new young families are buying up the nearby homes from retirees, there is a new sense of excitement and investment in the neighborhood and the playground is busy, though not over crowded, and has a nice mix of modern attractive equipment.

    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.
