I have spotted Red Winged Black Birds, Kingfishers and Great Blue Herons just to name a few. It is beautifully maintained and I love that they plow the walkway in the winter so I can still take a walk with my dog. What an incredible tribute to Steven Day!

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.

I had to take the initiative and just drive here just to make sure that it was open and what we were able to do. I was delighted to find such a beautiful park right along the river bank. Have the ability to tube and have the little ones play. Children can play, and there is also a kid pool (a definite bonus). I was afraid that it would get packed and we end up not being able to stay. So I was left behind, and my husband went back to get the rest of the family. Since it is Monday, I figure it is not going to get too busy. But, I am not going to take a chance. This spot should be on the list of visiting places. Especially right now that Boulder creek is closed and many other outdoor activities.

It has swings, a sand pit with a lil shade, a toddler & big kid play structure, a tennis court and bathrooms. There are a few benches to sit on too. The ground cover is a mix if bark & foam. There is grass surrounding the playground but no fence. The street is close by but not scary close so your littles won't stress you out running towards it. Another thing, the water is not in viewable distance to the playground. I was worried that my kid would see it and run for it, but you can't really see it from the playground. There is a pathway leading from the park to walk along the lake there, so if you want to get in some exercise its good. Parking is on the street, no private lot.

Great street parking on all sides of the park. Loads of trees everywhere dropping twigs, pine cones and pods making it a great nature treasure hunt. In summer this will be a wonderful place that is shaded from the afternoon sun. Two big play structures are side by side, great for toddlers and older kids. They have one swing set that has 2 each of big kids swings and baby seat swings. The playground has a sandy type base that had lots of kids having a great time digging in with their sand toys. There are a few scattered benches around but have a picnic blanket ready just in case! If its busy you will want a place to park it. They do have a unisex bathroom but its closed during different times of the year, and there is not another one around so that is important to know. There are two group picnic table areas, with a nice shaded roof on them. I think you can reserve them thru the city website otherwise first come, first served. Overall, super nice park. Lots of people from the neighborhood out walking their dogs, and families hanging out. We will definitely be returning!!

Truly great if your kids are between 2-5yrs old, this is a wonderful motor skills playground. It has a woodland theme with cute mushroom steps & faux wood decorative details. There is a permanent shaded picnic bench area with two long picnic benches. No bbq facilities anywhere. There are also benches throughout for close by seating. In the summer they put out two cloth tarps for shading the sandpit and part of the playground too. There are a few huge green grass areas great for frisbee & soccer fun. Also a long pathway around good for bikes & scooters. The neighborhood locals walk their dogs on it and it leads to a longer trail network. There is no bathroom here at all tho! Definitely worth a visit however.

They have a playground for the kids and then the dog park right next to the playground. There's a giant open field behind, with a large walking path. The dog park wasn't huge, but big enough for me to throw the chuck-it ball and not have it go over the fence. Dogs enjoyed running around, sniffing, and playing.
