Keep your stuff safe and secure — A message from City of Boulder

When you visit a city recreation center, library branch or Age Well Center, you want your car or bike or personal items to be there when you get back, right? We encourage you to lock your car or bike when you leave it behind. And never leave anything of value inside or in sight…even if it’s just for a few minutes. At our recreation centers, you can bring your valuables inside and safely keep them in a locker. Boulder’s Police Department reminds you that your valuables make for a good target, so lock your vehicle and/or bike. You should also register your bike so law enforcement can more easily contact you and prove ownership if it’s recovered. If a crime occurs please contact the police department non-emergency line at 303-441-3333 or fill out a report online. We hope you and your valuables stay safe all year round when visiting city facilities.
