## About

Downtown Boulder's creekside park, formerly known as Civic Area and Central Park, next to the site of the Boulder County Farmers' Market. It has Boulder Creek access, a playground, a skate park and open turf for picnicking; children can dip their feet in the creek and explore along its edges. The Evert Pierson Kids' Fishing Pond is just up the path.
