Great local park to cool off. My dog especially loves it here because being by the creek, it's usually ten degrees cooler than in the city. You can approach off Arapahoe Ave. There's parking for about a dozen cars, and more up on the top of the hill. There are plenty of picnic tables, and I think only once on July 4th I've seen them all used at once. There's a ton is spots for creek access for swimming, kayaking, tubing, or fishing! I love the nature as there are a ton of beautiful big trees. The creek path runs through the park so you can walk, bike, or hike for several dozen miles in each direction. There are a few houses less folks but I've never had an issue with anyone at this park. Everyone is typically very nice and having fun. read more

Eben Fine Park - Parks Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I absolutely adore this park. It has so much to offer! Ample space for a picnic or get together, year round swimming hole (if you like to practice the Wim Hof method, like me), fishing a plenty, bathrooms, water fountain, playground, trails for walking/biking/running, and grass to lounge or play on. I've participated in a few creek clean ups here and do feel that it's my duty to share that there is poison ivy present. While there are numerous waste and recycling receptacles there is a decent amount of trash scattered throughout the park. So please do your part and pick some up if you see it. There's a small parking lot that is often full to the brim (even today, Friday afternoon). Street parking on Arapaho is also available but crowded. Definitely recommend checking this spot out. Oh, and don't forget your flotation device for some tubing fun. read more

Eben Fine Park - Osaka's makes the best picnic lunches! - Parks Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

What Ansel Adams did for California, Eben Fine did for Colorado, mainly that of Boulder. Eben took nature photographs of Boulder and used them to advertise travel and tourism to the Boulder area. Visits to this park will find you surrounded with a canopy of lush shade trees, a fast flowing river, and plenty of space for a nice picnic. Many activities can be enjoyed at this park such as biking, hiking, and a fun trip down the river as this is the starting point to the annual "Tube to Work day" festivities. read more

Nick and I visited Eben Fine Park, in one of our overnight stays in Boulder. Our motel was located next to this easily accessible park, and saw that it was crowded with lots of people and saw lots of houses built next to this man-made river. I saw people walking their man's best friends, playing frisbee, and riding bikes. We walked along the river and saw this local riding a TALL, blue circus type of bike that stood out to us. We both smiled so big and looked at each other with amazement! This park is a positive experience for everyone and we have a great time without having to worry about Covid-19 getting in the way of our experience. read more

Spectacular fall nature trail that is an easy hike and full of wild flowers, a raging mountain stream and picturesque settings that make for a perfect escape from the hustle & bustle of Metro Denver. The trails are hiker & biker friendly. Dogs on leashes are ok and rock climbing is also there for the adventurous! What a wonderful afternoon here in Colorado! Enjoy! read more

I do like this park. We have gone here for years. From time to time, especially early in the morning or late in the evening, there might be a few transients hanging out or "camping" illegally though I have never been accosted in any way. Not bad at all this year. The police are keeping an eye on things. That is all that keeps this from a 5 star review. But it's real life and I am going to enjoy this place as do many others, including school or camp groups. I ride the Creek Path from here, regularly. Nice shady green space, a picnic shelter, a port-a-potty etc all here. There is limited parking, maybe 16 spaces or so in the small lot, but always more up on the street before the entrance. But the reality is that many locals come by bike or on foot. It is a great place to access the Creek Path. It is officially the starting point, mile maker 0.0, as etched on the stone at the foot of the bridge over the creek at the east edge of the park near the parking lot. But you can also ride, run or walk west, up the canyon, from the west edge of the park. You pass the kayakers and then it gets steep. The path crosses the creek a couple of times and it is paved part way up, then it is gravel. It ends at the Four Mile Canyon turnoff. It is a hard ride for someone like me but I have done it a few times. The fit cyclists that abound in Boulder pass me all the time. And the runners, too. But for a nice, low key, shady place for a picnic, it is a hidden gem. read more

This is my second visit to this great park. Our nephew always has his kid's birthday parties here. Depending on the time of the year and what's going on, parking can be a little bit of a challenge but today there was plenty! They have all options available for pavilions, kids play areas and thankfully restroom facilities! :-) Bring your tube and freeze your butt! But kids are immune to cold apparently so not an issue there! Pups frolic as well so the whole family can enjoy! But shhhh... this is a hidden gem tucked away in beautiful Boulder so don't tell anyone! ;) read more

Eben G. Fine Park is, well, a pretty good park. It's on the scenic several mile long Boulder Creek Path, where the westernmost part of Boulder meets the base of the foothills. For such a small park, it has a surprising amount of amenities, including a sheltered picnic area and some limited parking. Though I'd imagine few visitors bring their cars, instead arriving there via their bicycle or running shoes. Extra star because, at least when I was there, the water fountain shot pleasingly high. So you might be careful to not be TOO close when you turn it on. Which certainly beats ones that come out in a trickle! Now, I may be easy to impress as the backdrop of the foothills, accented with a light powdering on the day I visited, looked amazing. And despite the proximity to Arapahoe Ave and Pearl Street, I wasn't distracted by traffic noise. My more jaded Coloradoan friend just called it, "Almost every winter day in Boulder". But he can do his own review. ;) 4.25 stars. read more

We lost our keys at Eben G Fine Park in the river today. We are not from Colorado. Does anyone know of a lost and found where keys may have been returned? read more

Perfect park for all ages: the bridge, the trees, the boulders, the greenery, the snow...and we were lucky enough to have our airbnb house just right THERE! what a nice background when you wake up and see this beautiful park and everybody in Boulder seemed to be there, either walking, running, taking their dogs for fresh air or just enjoying the landscape. The only complaint can be the limited parking space but there is a small park after all, filled with amenities. Recommending a visit, and if I lived in Boulder this would be a place to exercise and get fit. read more

Certainly Eben is one of the most quintessential parks in Boulder, with incomparable subtle beauty stretching from one end to the other. As Spring is just starting (well, not really) to return to Boulder, it's warm enough to spend some time here, but all throughout the Winter it keeps its charm. When I first came to Boulder, this was the place everyone told me I must go, as this is where Boulder's colors shine brightest. I have to agree now, having been here for some time. Some of the most fun I've had in this town is simply being close to the creek, in Eben G. There are lots of small parks within the park that are so idiosyncratic in ways. Different crowds, different views, and different sounds will leave you wondering how it could all be one park - reminiscent of Golden Gate Park in SF - of course, not nearly as grandiose. read more
