Broomfield in the fall
As someone who's enjoyed the small-town friendly feel of Broomfield for the last 12 years, I feel I should share some of it's great treats for our fall season.
While the leaves are changing all over town and the streets are splattered with reds, oranges, and brilliant golds...the town bustles with the anticipation of cooler days and Halloween.
Just up 287 (Wadsworth) just north of Broomfield is our famous pumpkin patch. The family-owned farm provides thousands upon thousands of pumpkins to pick directly from the fields in which they grow. There are hay bale mazes, jump castles, farm animals to pet, and delicious treats to purchase after a long trek through the vast pumpkin patch to get that perfect orange gourd to carve. Bring your camera because this is the perfect spot to take family pics of everyone gathering their treasures. http://www.rockcreekfarm.com
Broomfield is a health-minded community and we are thankful for all the trails that wind their way through our neighborhoods. We have everything from walk-ways behind our homes, to long winding trails up the backs of the hills behind Miramonte and Lac Amora that give us breath-taking views of the Front Range. The fall is the best time to take advantage of these trails-with the weather cooling enough to take the edge of the mid-day sun, the trails are fun to take everywhere.
If shopping is something you enjoy then you can take your time at one of the 2 amazing malls near us.
Flatirons mall, which is just off of HWY 36 in Broomfield, boasts many great shops, dining, and a movie theater with lounge-style seating and adult beverages! This mall is indoors and is a great escape when the weather doesn't cooperate.
The other mall is the Orchard Town mall. This is an outdoor mall just off of 144th and I-25. Though this is technically considered Westminster, it is just on the border of Broomfield and we residents take full advantage of it. There's an outdoor play area, a miniature train for kids to ride around in, many great restaurants, lots of shopping, and an amazing movie theater. There are many spots to sit outside during our amazing Indian Summer weather evenings and have your meal or take advantage of the center of the mall and sit by the fireplace. Each Halloween the mall stores participate in a trick-or-treat parade where kids can come during the day and show off their costumes for candy!
We have a library next to a park in the heart of Broomfield and it houses a very special memorial. I encourage everyone to take the time to visit this spot. Our 9/11 memorial is truly historical and really gives you a space and the time to reflect, remember, and pay homage to those whose lives were ended on that fateful day. This memorial is peaceful, tasteful, and I feel very grateful that our town chose to put it up. On September 11 each year there is a flag put in the ground near the memorial that commemorates each and every life that was lost that day. The display is breath-taking and very honoring.
We have a unique place to live here nestled up against the mountains. Amazing sunsets, less traffic than down south, easy access to highways for shopping, dining, and taking an adventure. Broomfield is the small town you have been looking for and we have some fantastic places here to enjoy.
