Reviews
Very small, but peacefully quiet in the morning. I wouldn’t call it a park. It’s a bench and a creek. But nice break from the hustle and bustle.
This was the weekend of Labor Day. We took a day trip to Gunnison and Crested Butte. They had the People’s Fair that weekend. This is a very laid back mountain town. I have been there once before. I loved it so much we had to go back.
Git yer fill here of hipsters. Also has a running creek you can do your laundry here.
Beautiful park right in the heart of CB. Easy access to everything – grab some lunch in town or pack a lunch and head here to enjoy some time in the shade. Stairs provide easy access to the creek to play in the water.
Fun small park with lots of places to sit and good shade. Easy access to parking and nice calming creek running behind the park. The fire department is right across the street and you are close to everything in town!
