Nature Walks – The Trails of Westminster City Park

Open spaces are big here in Colorado. We have them everywhere. They are like parks, but have lots of connecting trails for walkers, runners, and bicyclists and are always connected with nature. My favorite one is literally right behind my house, adjacent to my back yard, and that is our lakes. But I like to vary them too, and try different places. The Westminster City Park has some very nice trails as well. There is abundant wildlife, both in flora and fauna all around. You are right in the city, but you would never know. These open spaces allow you to connect with nature and offer a little escape from the reality that is just a heart beat away.

Can you believe this is right in the middle of our city?

The bridges are colorfully decorated too, depicting life in our area, and Nature’s beautiful gifts right here in our own backyard.

Often times, the open spaces lead into different trails and pathways too. Yesterday, I took a trail that had old fashioned farm equipment scattered throughout the trails.

We even have have nesting areas for our own honey bees nestled into the park.

You just never know what you will find, even in your backyard. You just have to open to new experiences and open your eyes and your heart to new experiences. They are all around.

  4. I’m very lucky to live in a large city that has a lot of nature reserves and parks to visit. I love to be connected to nature, and these places help me maintain that. The Westminster City Park you visited looks wonderful and has a lot to enjoy!
