About the Location

A Boulder Location with a View

Positioned in North Boulder, Foothills Community Park spans a generous 65.2 acres where urban convenience meets natural splendor. As the name suggests, this park sits at the base of Boulder's western foothills, creating a fantastic backdrop for your outdoor adventures.

With green spaces and mountain views, this spot offers a mix of developed recreation and natural areas.

Get Moving or Just Unwind

Whether you're looking to break a sweat or simply relax, this park offers plenty of options. Take a leisurely stroll along the scenic trails that wind through the property, spread out a blanket on the lush lawns for a picnic, or jump into a casual game with friends.

The open spaces are well-suited for a game of frisbee or an impromptu soccer match. The park is popular with locals of all ages.

Something for Everyone

Foothills Community Park thoughtfully divides its space to cater to different interests. Kids will love the split-level playground - the lower section features traditional equipment with charming boat-themed elements, while the upper section offers more modern challenges well-suited for climbing and building upper body strength.

Sports enthusiasts won't be disappointed either, with multiple athletic facilities available for those competitive moments.

Nature's Embrace

What really sets this park apart is how it embraces its natural setting. The thoughtful design creates peaceful spaces where you can simply sit and take in your surroundings.

Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as you explore - the proximity to the foothills means you might spot some of Boulder's wilder residents going about their day.

Easy to Visit

You'll appreciate the thoughtful accessibility features here, including multiple parking lots, dog-friendly areas (because adventures are better with four-legged friends), and wheelchair-accessible paths.

Open year-round, Foothills Community Park transforms with the seasons, offering a different experience with each visit - from spring wildflowers to the golden hues of fall.
