Boulder's civic center
Located in the heart of downtown, across from the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, is a center for Boulder life. Students lounge about on the lawn, old folks clutter the park benches, hippies contemplate life beneath the cottonwoods, and kids marvel at the park's authentic steam engine. The verdant square, filled with small waterfalls, is home to numerous festivals, along with the Farmers Market. A colorful gazebo hosts concerts in the summertime. The Boulder Creek Path runs through the center of the park.
