Greenleaf Park

A Green Urban Oasis

Tucked away at the corner of Folsom and Pearl Street in Boulder, Greenleaf Park is one of those secluded places that offers a breath of fresh air amid the city bustle. This cozy green space carves out a little pocket of tranquility where you can escape without actually leaving town.

The park's enclosed design creates a nice buffer from city life, making it feel like a secret garden in the middle of Boulder. With its open grassy areas, you've got plenty of room to spread out a blanket, toss a frisbee, or simply watch the clouds drift by.

Get Your Game On

The full-sized basketball court sits at the heart of Greenleaf, often buzzing with pickup games and casual shooters. If you're looking to work on your jump shot or join a friendly game, this court has become something of a neighborhood institution.

Families with little ones will appreciate the small playground area complete with swings that keeps kiddos entertained. While not massive, the playground fits perfectly with the park's intimate neighborhood vibe.

What makes Greenleaf particularly special is its approach to nature play - encouraging children to interact with their environment in more organic ways than just climbing on plastic structures. It's a thoughtful touch that helps youngsters connect with the natural world, even in an urban setting.

Hang Out and Unwind

Need a spot for lunch? The park offers picnic tables where you can enjoy a meal or snack in the sunshine. They're great for everything from coffee catch-ups with friends to casual family lunches.

Dog parents, you're in luck - your four-legged friends are welcome here too (just keep them on a leash). The park often has a few wagging tails adding to its friendly atmosphere.

Good to Know

Greenleaf Park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 11PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy its charms. As with any urban park, it's smart to be aware of your surroundings, especially after dark.

What Greenleaf lacks in size, it makes up for in character. Its smaller footprint gives it an intimate feel that's quite different from Boulder's sprawling recreation areas - sometimes good things really do come in small packages.
