WHAT DO THE PARK CODES MEAN?
Fred Says
“Bohn Park has the kind of wide-open setting that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy a full day in Lyons.
There’s plenty of parking, a whole mess of things to do, and some mighty fine Front Range views in every direction.
What I loved most was walking beside St. Vrain Creek, wading in the cool water and taking in all the nature around us. The playground, skate park and fields are great—but the river and scenery are what make Bohn Park feel special.
Bring your walking shoes, take your time by the water and leave room in the day to simply look around.”
Things To Do
Playground
Let The Kids Play. The playground gives young explorers a fun place to climb, slide and burn off some energy while the family enjoys the park.
Skate Park
Roll Into Some Fun. Bring a skateboard, scooter or BMX bike and let the crew work on their moves at the Lyons Skate Park.
River Walking & Wading
Enjoy The St. Vrain. Stroll beside the creek, find a spot to relax and wade in the cool water on a warm day.
Picnics
Stay For Lunch. Picnic tables, a covered pavilion and riverside gathering areas make Bohn Park a fine place for lunch or a family get-together.

Bring A Ball. Bohn Park has ball fields and generous open areas for a casual game, kicking a soccer ball or simply spreading out.

Good For
Dogs Welcome? Yes — keep your pup leashed while enjoying Bohn Park. Lyons’ designated off-leash dog park is located just south of the park. 
Water Available? Bring drinking water and a bowl for your pup — St. Vrain Creek is for wading and exploring, not a reliable drinking-water source. 
Shade? Some — the covered pavilion and areas near the creek offer relief, but much of the park is open and sunny. 
Waste Stations? Not confirmed — bring your own bags and always clean up after your pup. Zero’s Paw Rating
“Oh boy—Bohn Park has plenty for my nose to investigate! There are trees, grass, river smells, picnic spots and lots of room to walk beside St. Vrain Creek. I even hear there’s an off-leash dog park just south of here. Keep me leashed in Bohn Park, bring my water bowl and waste bags, and let’s take our time sniffing around. Now that’s a proper dog adventure!”
