    August 29, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Have you heard that Longmont, Colorado has a new playground at Loomiller Park?! This 15-acre park was named after Fred Loomiller (1863-1950), and his wife Grace (1883-1965), following part of the park’s land being donated to the City by the Loomiller’s children in 1962.
