Welcome to the Boulder Homeschool Park Day!NOTE! From April through October we meet every Tuesday at the park at the Boulder Public Library (in the playground area by the creek). November through March, if the weather is sunny and 60 or above, we still meet at the library park; but if it's gloomy or below 60, we will either be skating at the YMCA at 95th and Arapahoe, or swimming at Paul Derda Rec Center in Broomfield.
Odd Tuesdays: Swimming at Paul Derda Rec Center in Broomfield, 12:30 - 3:30 Even Tuesdays: Skating at the Lafayette YMCA, 95th and Arapahoe, 1:30 - 3:30
The Boulder Homeschool Park Day (a/k/a the Boulder Park Day) is a park day for
homeschooling families. It is open to all homeschool families of all
homeschooling styles, all faiths, and all ages. You do not have to live
in Boulder to attend the Boulder Park Day!
The Boulder Park Day is all-inclusive, and fosters an atmosphere tolerance and
sharing.
The Boulder Homeschool Park Day is a safe and positive environment for our
community of homeschooled children. We have a simple set of guidelines by which everyone is expected to abide:
The Boulder Park Day meets every Tuesday, rain or shine or snow. During the
months of April through October, we meet every week at the
park right next to the Boulder Public Library, by the swingset and slide.
Someone is usually there by 12:00 noon, and people are usually there as late as
3:30 or 4:00 p.m..
During the months of November through March we meet at the park if it is sunny
and at least 60 degrees out, otherwise we either meet for ice skating at the
YMCA at 95th and Arapahoe, or for swimming at the Paul Derda Rec Center in Broomfield.*
In addition to the swingset, slide, and grassy area on which to play at the park, there is a creek that many children like to play by and in. If you want to let your child play by the creek, you may want to bring a change of clothes!
There are two excellent places for lunch right next to the park - they are
V.G. Burgers, which features an entirely vegetarian fast food menu, and Mustard's Last Stand, which is a hot dog and hamburger
stand which also has many vegetarian options - including a vegetarian reuben! Mustard's will even loan you a picnic blanket. There are also picnic tables at the park.
The park lays between the Boulder Public Library and Broadway St., and is between Arapahoe and Canyon. The library is at 1000 Canyon Blvd.. There is plenty of parking at the library.
*Why is a Boulder park day going to Broomfield to swim? Because the Paul Derda
rec center has the most awesome facilities anywhere along the front
range, including allowing our kids to continue the tubing fun that they get
during the summer on the creek. Seriously. Check out the picture here. That slide you see is a tube slide (tubes provided),
and there is a second non-tube slide to the right.
