Music in North Boulder Park

One of our favorite things about our neighborhood is living near North Boulder Park. It's about a half-block away and it's a huge park complete with a playground, two softball fields, bbq pits, and plenty of place to lounge around. In the winter after a fresh snow it turns into a skate skiing course which is also a nice benefit.

In the summer our friends Steve and Colby Evans organize a great music series on Sunday nights called, appropriately, "Music in the Park". They usually feature talented local musicians who play for a few hours while the entire neighborhood congregates while camped out on picnic blankets. Most people bring food and drinks as well.

The park comes alive with children running everywhere, squeals of delight and conversation after conversation between neighbors and friends. It is hard to explain unless you live here and experience it how close-nit this neighborhood feels during events like Music in the Park. There are hundreds of people but yet it seems like I know just about every other family in attendance.

I snapped a few pathetic pictures last Sunday, they are terrible quality but you can get a general idea of the event. Delaney and I went together and it was hard to manage an active toddler and have any conversations, but still worth it to attend nonetheless.
