I got everyone situated and then enjoyed the solitude of a walk around the lake. This park has a great view of some mountains in the distant background and multiple physical activity opportunities for people of abilities the path is wheelchair accessible bicycle welcome and dog friendly. The path is mostly Gravel with no major impossible rats and looks very well maintained there are benches throughout. Just not the initial part where my mom needed one so she turned around and went back. A time was had by all.

We stopped here for a walk on Sunday morning before walking into town and it was such a nice walk. There were tons of people out with their pups and kids, it truly seemed like a meeting spot for people in the community.

It was interesting to see the flood lines on the trees along the river. This is a free hike. We parked at the Rogers Grove Park lot and picked up the trail from there. It crosses under Hover St/N 95th St. It is an easy walk with very little elevation gain. We walked to the St. Vrain River Waterfall and watched the ducks for a bit. This was a lovely stop while making our way up to Fort Collins.

No. Does it feel like a bit of untapped nature within a short drive of your neighborhood making it easy to frequent? Absolutely! Many people walk, jog, and take their dogs here. I often see fishing as well. There are not too many bicycles. It is also great for any birders interested in water fowl, such as pelicans, cormorants, blue heron, and ducks. We have enjoyed taking our dogs to Golden Ponds over the years. With the area having a few ponds, you can switch up your walk. Some areas around the ponds are full sun and others offer a shaded reprieve. I have not had any issues finding parking, which is free. The park also has benches around ponds, canopied picnic tables, and flushing toilets in the restrooms near the entrance.

Ok, so Google Maps is a bit off. The place where it says Pirates Park is, is actually a baseball…read morefield. Pirates Park is below where they have Middle School Park. You'll see the playground at Jefferson Avenue and Lafayette Street. The part of the park which we visited is rather small. There is a tennis court and pavilions on the sides of the playground. The playground is nice and well maintained. There are two infant swings and two low-to-the-ground swings. There is a large play structure for bigger kids, and a smaller one for younger kids. There is a small sandbox to the side, too. The park has old, big trees surrounding it, so there's a lot of shade. I think one of the best thing about this park is the parents we encountered. One mom had 5 total kids with her, and we chatted for about an hour. Another pair of parents came by, and one asked if we had left a stuffed animal as we were leaving (we didn't). That was nice. If we ever find ourselves back in the area, we will return here!

Unfortunately the parking lot is extra small right now because they're doing construction... 4 standard and 1 accessible space is all they have right now right on the water. Across the street is a larger parking area though and that's got plenty of spaces. Very dog friendly trail so if your pup is extra chaotic around others might want to have that in mind. The piece I traversed didn't have much shade so recommend sunglasses and a hat at the very least. Enjoy!

Awesome! Very large park with multiple playgrounds, benches with shade and a huge splash pad.read more

My sole purpose for coming to Kanemoto Park was just to see the Japanese Pagoda & Gate…read more At the entrance to the Tower Of Compassion, which is the real name of the Pagoda, stands a red torii gate. There's a tree that is so big that it partially obscures the view of the tower itself if you're standing in front of the torii gate. The tower looks like a traditional Japanese Temple. It was built in 1973. It has 5 stories with each representing the attributes of compassion which are Love, Empathy, Understanding, Gratitude of all Things, and Giving Selflessly of Oneself. You can't enter the Pagoda. Not sure if there's even anything to see, but it might be cool to just look inside! Cool Fact: Longmont City Council has designated this Tower Of Compassion a Local Historical Landmark. In the area in front of the Tower is the Kanemoto Memorial Cherry Tree Grove, where there's a good number of Cherry Trees. I don't think these cherries are edible. This 7-acre park was donated to Longmont by the Kanemoto family in 1966. Side note: This family also gifted 10 more acres of land for other facilities like a Fire Station, Buddhist temple, Episcopal Church, Elementary School and the St. Vrain Greenway. Besides the Tower Of Compassion, this park has a nice playground, activity pool, basketball court, soccer/playing Fields, sand volleyball, & adult exercise equipment. On the cement path leading to the Pool & Tower of Compassion, and just outside of the restrooms, there's a large Dragonfly metal decoration. I love dragonflies, so it was a nice sight! The Left Hand Creek runs alongside this part of the path. It only takes a few minutes to walk to this tower. It's worth a visit if you're in the area. However, I made it a point to stop by on my way to another destination while visiting the area.
