Golden has experienced a recent surge of growth in the mid-1990s and the Golden Parks and Recreation Department has kept pace with the New Loveland Mine Park, built in 1996, and the White Ash Mine Park, to be built in 1997. Best noted for its community 4th of July celebration and large newly renovated playground, this park provides plenty of shaded picnic tables for a noontime escape by downtown workers. Children love to bring their parents to the new fully A.D.A. accessible playground designed to provide activities for small and big kids alike. A Lions Club project built in the 1960s, this ballfield park is located on the north bank of Clear Creek. There are two lighted ballfields that are popular sites for boy's baseball, and girl's, women's and senior's softball.
Restrooms are available during the summer months.
Kayak Course Location - 10th Street and Maple Street Return to Top Return to Parks List Parfet Park Golden's oldest park was built in the early 1900s. Several brass markers note historic points of interest. This is Golden's festival park where the community celebrates Buffalo Bill Days every July, as well as several other civic events. Lots of large shade trees and the calming attraction of Clear Creek draw many from the adjacent downtown area for a quiet retreat. This is the favorite park of many of our staff.
