There is no playground. NOT kid-friendly despite the inaccurate listing. This is merely a bike path along the river with a small outdoor amphitheater which goes largely unused. But homeless folks get kicked out & treated like garbage here so that Boulder locals can feel better about themselves. There is a very modern-Boulder vibe to this “park”. Would not recommend.

The homeless situation is out of control. I took my 4-year-old daughter down by the creek once a few months ago, and it's not the kind of environment I want to expose her to again. Homeless abound and one began yelling to me about my daughter. During farmer's markets, homeless sit on the grass surrounded by families and openly share drugs, and I'm talking about weed. This Saturday, there was a massive emergency response to a homeless congregation at the amphitheater, and this morning (Monday) there was another team with a fire truck and other police/EMS units out with the gurney among a group of a dozen or more homeless who clearly decided to make the amphitheater theirs. It is not "compassionate" to allow these situations to continue.
