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!!

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.

Many people also use to connect parts of East Boulder even on a road bike. It connects Jay Road to the industrial parks and residential areas east of 30th street.There is also something so satisfying to me to ride on dirt and yet not fear for safety. Bikes pass me all the time but occasionally I get to pass some riders. There are dog walkers and runners out there too and some are more considerate than others to keep their dogs under control. I find that even the professional style riders most all are considerate of riders like me. Thank you. You can ride out and back from some nearby neighborhood and at Independence Road crossover to the dirt Trail. There is a RTD stop literally at the Jay Road end so you could walk the trail or take your bike on the bus rack to ride. People like me who live too far to ride out or do not have access to this bus route, can easily park in the lot at the trail head on Independence Rd. I have always found space.

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've gone to several different daycares in several states traveling and moving with my dogs. I have never been asked for a 50$ deposit to spend 15 mins evaluating if my mutts can handle other mutts. After politely informing them to remove my dogs from their roster the owner flew off the handle over email accusing me of an angry response. Hard to say it's angry when it's two sentences and begins and ends with "thank you". I would honestly worry about my dogs or any dogs with people who obviously have some serious issues. The email is here for anyone wanting to read such nonsense. I strongly discourage anyone from this location. The owner seems to have issues. What I originally sent: "Thanks but you can remove my pups. 25$ per dog just to meet and greet is ridiculous. I'll look for services elsewhere. Ty The owner, Justine Bennett's, unhinged response: "It's a DEPOSIT because often people make an appointment but don't show, and because we are a small, dog forward and conscientious business and I will need to schedule extra staff to cover while I, or my trainer assess your dog, it's necessary. But again, it's a DEPOSIT that would be returned to you should it not be a good fit, OR it is applied to any of the services we offer but thank you for your angry and unwarranted response about it being RIDICULOUS. We will absolutely remove you and your pups. Thanks!"
