WHAT DO THE PARK CODES MEAN?

Fred Says

“Don’t make a beeline for the playground and miss the rest of the park!

Founders Park has some pretty cool details scattered around that connect the park to Superior’s mining history.

Wander around a little, try something new, and see what you discover.

That’s explorin’!”

Why You’ll Love This Park

Founders Park isn’t just a playground sitting in the middle of a grassy field. There are things to discover throughout the park, making it a good choice when the family wants a little variety. Kids can climb and play, older visitors can try the fitness features, families can shoot some hoops or toss a ball around, and everyone can slow down and notice the mining-inspired details incorporated into the park. The mix of recreation and local history is what helps Founders Park stand out from a typical neighborhood park.

Trail and park information—including fees, hours, access, reservations, rules and conditions—is subject to change. Always confirm current details with the official managing agency before your visit.

Things To Do

Playground icon

Playground Area

Founders Park has more than a basic neighborhood playground. The play area incorporates climbing, balancing, and traditional playground elements with the park’s mining-inspired design.

Basketball

Shoot Some Hoops. There is a basketball court at the park. The Town of Superior specifically lists Founders Park as one of its public basketball court locations.

Ball Field

Bring a Glove and Play Ball. Founders Park includes Kupfner Field, a T-ball and youth baseball field that gives younger players a great place to practice, play and enjoy some time on the diamond.

Outdoor Fitness

Outdoor exercise elements are incorporated throughout the park, giving adults and older kids something different to try as they explore.

HORSESHOES

Try your hand at the two horseshoe pits. Bring your own horseshoes.

TABLE TENNIS

Bring your own paddles and balls for a game of outdoor table tennis.

Best Times to Visit

Quieter Times: Weekday mornings are usually your best bet for a more relaxed visit, especially if you want extra space around the playground and picnic areas.

Busier Times: After school, weekends and pleasant-weather afternoons tend to bring more families, sports activities and park visitors.

Fred’s Tip: Head over earlier in the day, bring some water and take time to wander beyond the playground. Some of the coolest parts of Founders Park are the little historical details tucked around the park.

4.0 Out of 5

I visited Founders Park in Superior, Colorado, and explored it firsthand. I dig the park’s shade and views, but was disappointed by only 1 dog waste station, which wasn’t convenient to the main park area. If it were not for that I would have given the park 5 solid paws!
