T-Rex Fans Will Love this Dinosaur Park in Boulder!

Kanemoto, One of the Best Parks in Longmont!
Near the southern edge of Longmont, just north of Prospect, you will find a new favorite place, Kanemoto Park. Not only is the playground fun (and next to a perfect summer pool for little ones), it comes with a bit of town history as well. In 1966, the land where the park currently sits was donated to the City of Longmont by the Kanemoto family. The seven-acre park was named after the patriarch Goroku Kanemoto (1882-1935) who immigrated from Japan in 1910.

Namaqua Park in Loveland is a Pond-Themed Gem!
Our visit to Namaqua Park in Loveland, Colorado was brief but enjoyable. It was a peaceful location on the west side of town next to the Big Thompson river.
