Violet Park – What’s the Vision?
by Osman Parvez
What does the future of this park look like?
Wait – where is Violet Park, again?
If you don’t know, you’re not alone. It’s located on Violet Avenue, just east of Broadway. It’s directly adjacent to Violet Crossing.
Here’s a map of the area.
For now, Violet park is city owned open space. It’s slated for a future park, however. For nearby residents, the park has the potential to add serious value. It’s also directly adjacent to the North Boulder Sub Community and Nobo Arts District.
The 2014 approved budget shows $500,000 going into the park’s development in 2019.
As undeveloped open space, it was heavily ravaged by last September’s floods. Flood mitigation occurred this spring – a process of removing debris and sediment from the water channel.
This shot was taken from Broadway, just north of Violet during the September flood. Fourmile creek had overflown its banks, taken out the bike path, and carrying massive amounts of debris.
Now here is what Violet Park looks like today. Its’ a weed patch.

Testimonials
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
