Northstar Park

Park Overview

Found in a residential neighborhood, Northstar Park offers 6.8 acres of welcome green space where locals and visitors alike can stretch their legs and breathe some fresh air. It's not the biggest park you'll discover, but it strikes a nice balance between open areas and dedicated amenities for whatever outdoor mood strikes you.

Landscape and Paths

The heart of the park is its expansive grassy area - well-suited for tossing a frisbee, spreading out a picnic blanket, or just flopping down with a good book. Mature trees dot the landscape, casting pools of shade that feel particularly heavenly during Colorado's sunny summer days.

A paved walking path meanders through the grounds, ideal for a casual evening stroll or a morning power walk. You'll often spot neighbors getting their steps in along this path, making this quiet green space something of a community meeting point.

Children's Area

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area that technically belongs to North Star school but opens to the public after school hours. The equipment caters to different age groups, so both toddlers and older children can find something to climb, swing on, or slide down.

Parents can keep watch from nearby benches while the little ones burn off energy - a thoughtful touch that makes afternoon playdates more comfortable.

Recreation Facilities

Feeling competitive? The park's basketball court awaits for shooting some hoops or jumping into an impromptu game. Baseball enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either, with a baseball field available for practice or casual games.

The picnic area makes a great spot for family gatherings or meeting up with friends. Note that if you're planning something larger than a casual lunch, you might need to reserve the space through the Waterworld office a few blocks away to ensure you've got room for everyone.

Visitor Information

What makes Northstar Park work so well is how it balances active spaces with quieter corners, giving everyone from athletes to bookworms a place to enjoy.

Four-legged friends are welcome here too - the park is dog-friendly, although you'll need to clean up after your pup. Conveniently placed trash cans within the grounds make this easy to do, keeping the park pleasant for everyone.
