Boulder Open Space, Come and see it……

Imagine you are in your apartment and get the urge to take your dog for a jog. Only problem is that you live in a metropolis.  You put on your running shoes, slip Fido’s leash around his neck and head down stairs for your exercise. Heading outside you start jogging, noticing your view is mostly reflections of the city in the glass windows of the buildings lining the streets.  People all around you, no where to go but where the streets take you and you feel like you are trapped.

After a few urban switch backs you return home and know something is missing.  ”Might as well have ran on the treadmill”, you tell yourself.  You are missing the trees, the grass and the overall open space that are ideal for a jog with your dog.  Your answer to this problem is Boulder Colorado.

Boulder Colorado is one of the best outdoor towns in the country.  The lands teem with native plants and wildlife and are home to threatened and endangered species. Our open spaces serve as a buffer zones between Boulder and nearby development, so in the future Boulder will look as beautiful as ever.  These land provide us with untold benefits to the natural environment – clean air, water, and earth.  Don’t you want to be surrounded by such an environment?

It is Boulder’s citizens who, through many years of planning and action, have created and maintained these special lands.  As early as 1898 Boulder citizens were showing their appreciation for conservation, when they purchased Chautauqua Park right next to the foot of Flagstaff Mountain.  Through a community charter and efforts by the people, we have and continue to preserve our green lands.  Ranked #1 Sports Town in America by Outside Magazine, our town offers you plenty.  With over 45,000 acres of open space, most of which goes directly through our town, Fido will never be board again.  Creek paths, green parks and mountain trails are only three of the many options you will have.  Hikers and their dogs, bikers, horseback riders and others are welcome to explore over 200 miles of public hiking trails. Get lost in the wilderness and never leave Boulder.    Boulder’s beauty is in its conservation of wilderness, come join and help preserve Boulder.
