Chautauqua Park is located right at the foot of the Flatirons. While there, you can hike the trails nearby, sit in the picnic areas, bring the kids to the playground, or dine at the Chautauqua Dining Hall. Parking can be difficult but the city offers a free Park-to-Park shuttle!
The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse was created by artisans in several cities of Tajikistan and was shipped piece by piece and rebuilt creekside. The teahouse has decorative elements including hand-carved and hand-painted ceiling, tables, stools, columns, and exterior ceramic panels. It's the perfect place to stop for tea or brunch.
