Ann Armstrong Park

Nature Play and Educational Adventures

Located in Boulder, this intimate space offers kids a chance to get up close with the natural world through its unique nature play area. Here, little explorers can enjoy a quick but enriching educational experience about prairie dogs - those chatty little creatures that call urban Boulder home. You'll learn about their habitats and how they've adapted to city life alongside humans. This wildlife focus beautifully honors Ann Armstrong's plant ecology background and shows how the park aims to connect visitors with the environment around them.

A Park with Purpose

The park bears the name of Ann Armstrong, a dedicated plant ecologist who once contributed her expertise to the City of Boulder. Back in 1997, the city purchased this land, transforming it into the community space we enjoy today.
