Topic: New Boulder Hotspot

[Ryan Ford]

Its in northeast Boulder and is one of those gigantic wooden castle like playgrounds that have been seen in several other parkour videos from around the country. Who knew we had one right here in Boulder? Hopefully we will get it on the hotspot map and get a write up for it soon. Maybe Sat can get us photos,  write up, or at least an address??

OOOh!

Those are my favourite playgrounds!! Many days of don't touch the ground tag on those as a kid!!

Where is it!?

[Sat Santokh]

Ok I've got an address.  4820 Nautilus Ct N Boulder, CO 80301.  I have to leave for school pretty soon so no write up for now but soon!  Also if you wanna see it on google maps just type in boulder country day school in google.

Thanks Sat!

I put a pin on the hotspot map.

Can't wait to go play there!

Speaking of new boulder hotspots, there have been 2 other ones found recently.

Red Rocks in Boulder, not the amphitheater one, is a great place to do parkour in a natural and rocky environment. Is complete with giant sandstone monoliths, boulder fields, fins, canyons, and caves.

The east CU campus around 30th and Colorado is very good with a  variety of stuff to do as well. Highlights include lots of good vaulting opportunities, roofs, and grass. Also, there is an awesome office building adjacent that has all kinds of close condensed walls perfect for kong to precisions, kong to cats, cat to cats, tic tac to cats, and more.

Will hopefully get all 3 of these hotspots done for COPK in the next week or so.

red rocks and park place/east cu are up. the castle should be up in a week or so once sat is done with school and able to put it together.

can you put the new ones on the hotspot map jim?

[Jim "Monkey" Parker]

No problemo...they should be there now...

Could you check the placement of the East CU pin? You mentioned here that it was 30th and Colorado, but the writeup says it's marine and 31st?? I could only find an intersection for 30th and Marine..so I put the pin there

Also, Brenda and I went out to the castle playground last night...lots of fun!! Though its a bit narrow for my broad shoulders <grin> Also, I found a lot of the structure to be lacking in reinforcement..(though maybe I just need to lose more weight!!)

See y'all tonight!

Cheers
Jim
