Flanders Neighborhood Park

Neighborhood Park Hours: 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset

Blue Skies is an 11-acre neighborhood park that was designed around a flight timeline with "themed" images found throughout the park. Interpretive signage, sandblasted images and other features throughout the park represent historic planes and images that walk visitors through the timeline of flight. The skate park and the playground also compliment the theme with features that represent elements of the Amelia Earhart plane and a rocket ship climber in the playground.

Blue Skies Park is located along Dry Creek #1 in southwestern Longmont and offers a trail connection to the Dry Creek #1 Greenway. Blue Mountain Elementary School is north of the park.

Visit the Plans, Maps & Reports webpage and click Map of Parks in Longmont to see all parks displayed on an interactive map. Choose from the Amenities dropdown menu to find parks with the amenity you are seeking, such as playground, pool, or picnic area.

History

The name Blue Skies is a common airline pilot phrase and was suggested for a park name since Vance Brand Municipal Airport is nearby.
