Beach Park

Park Features

Despite its misleading name, Beach Park doesn't actually have sandy shores - but what it does offer is a lovely green space right in Boulder's bustling heart. This charming little park features open turf areas well-suited for spreading out a blanket, diving into a good book, or simply soaking up some Colorado sunshine.

One of the coolest things about Beach Park? It's one of the spots in town that welcomes slacklining enthusiasts. If you've never seen it before, watching people practice their balance skills on these taut lines is pretty entertaining.

History

The park's name pays tribute to William Beach, a dedicated Boulder local who made his mark as both a miner and businessman, and his wife Grace Beach, who maintained their home during Boulder's earlier days.

Location

Tucked next to the historic Harbeck-Bergheim House and just a short walk from the University of Colorado campus, Beach Park offers a fantastic escape without having to venture far from downtown.

It's really one of those serene locations that provides a peaceful retreat from city life - a little pocket of green where you can reconnect with nature while still being just steps away from Boulder's urban amenities and university energy.
