A makeover for Boulder’s East Side Park?

Boulder’s East Side Park isn’t much to look at. There’s an ancient, sagging swing set and a slide on a patch of green on East 2nd Avenue near North Parsons Street, but not much else — save a view of the hills — by way of recreation.

“That’s something we’d like to fix!” exclaimed Camden Graves, the Americorps volunteer who is leading an effort to improve the small city property.

The effort is still in its early stages. But with the cooperation of the city’s Planning Board, the Kiwanis Club of Boulder and Growing Community Naturally are aiming to upgrade  the park’s playground equipment, do some landscaping, and possibly add an outdoor pavilion for picnics.
