Harlow Platts Community Park

Best park I’ve been to in Colorado. It feels like a hidden gem. I was truly blown away by the beauty in this park and it made it clear why Boulder is such a desirable place to live. Quiet and away from the chaos of downtown, it really felt magical. Pictures don’t do it justice. Also, there were goats!

BEST PARK IN BOULDER!!! My husband & I love Harlow Platta Community Park! What’s not to love...there’s a Rec center, tennis courts, bike & walking path around a mini lake, and our favorite...a 9 round disc golf course with the best view of the flat irons! This park always makes my afternoons brighter. What a gorgeous treasure and one of my favorite spots in all of Boulder!

This place was recommended to us by a local and for good reason! Beautiful park with a gorgeous lake, a nice wraparound path, and a playground for the kids. There's even a bridge to walk over that is also scenic. It's a bit small but that's relative to other large Colorado parks and not a reason to go elsewhere. Worth a stop if you're in the area for sure!

Beautiful, well maintained park. Lake has a nice walkway all around. Disc golf course is simple with few obstacles. A lot of geese around that weren't afraid of people. Only downside was the droppings everywhere.

Pretty park, loads of green and soft grass, with two really quite pretty ponds/lakes. It was a great place for a cross country race, though parking was a little hard.

Viele Lake in Harlow Platts Community Park sometimes referred to as "Goose Poop Park" is scenic. Gorgeous homes and Fairview High School encircle the lake complete with a backdrop of mountains. It's walkable in the winter because the path gets plowed.

Great views of the Flatirons while playing disc golf. Nice trail around the lake and plenty of picnic spots. Playground also.

A simple but fun little disc golf course. 9 holes with two baskets each, red and yellow, for a round of 18. A few longer open shots paired with a few more technical shots that make the best use of trees and elevation.

This place is pretty big. Includes park benches, play ground, pond/lake, and lots of trees. I have taken some family photos here twice now and never felt I got the same exact thing twice. They have restrooms, and easy parking. But beware there are a lot of geese and lots of poop so watch out

Perfect place for a picnic or other family outing. Stroll around the lake, play in the well-designed play area, or just lounge in the grass or at one of the covered picnic tables.
