Scott Carpenter Park and Pool is a community park that provides visitors with a wide variety of recreational facilities including a swimming pool, skate park, open turf field, diamond field, and the iconic Scott Carpenter playground. Restrooms are open year-round, limited hours in the fall/winter. Sledding in the winter and slacklining are allowed.
The City of Boulder will be making repairs to the bridge at Scott Carpenter Park including structural steel repairs, replacement of the wooden decking with a concrete path surface, and painting the bridge railing. During the bridge closure, pedestrian traffic will detour around the park to the North using multi-use paths. The closure is expected to last from April 13th until approximately May 4.
Scott Carpenter Park and Pool is largely aimed toward programmed and structured recreational activity. Despite this design, children often play along the buffers of the park and on the playground, which contains crater and rock play structures, which emulate features found in nature.
