Willow Park’s suburban community keeps an active lifestyle

Walking paths meander through Willow Park, connecting homes to the neighborhood’s namesake green space. The residential area is comprised of contemporary homes and city parks with abundant recreational amenities. Retail and restaurants are also just a short drive away, and central Broomfield is less than 3 miles west. “Willow Park really sits right in the middle of Broomfield, so you’re within walking distance to rec centers and schools,” says Claire Gilmore, a real estate broker and owner of Metro Brokers Kell & Co, who has about 30 years of experience and lives in Broomfield. “There’s also very easy access to Denver and Boulder. A lot of people will travel to work in those areas.”

Single-family homes from the 1990s and 2010s

Homes in Willow Park are lined along winding residential streets with narrow sidewalks. Properties have landscaped yards dotted with decorative trees and shrubbery. Contemporary single and multistory homes from the 1990s are the main housing types, with Craftsman features such as front gables, pointed roofs and stone or brick accents. Some properties have tucked-in garages, though they all fit two-to-three cars. A smaller section of the neighborhood along Zenobia Street has New Traditional multistory homes built in the 2010s. “They’re newer and almost cottage-like. They’re a nice, low-maintenance alternative, and you’re still not attached to your neighbor,” Gilmore says. Prices range from $550,000 to $800,000.

Staying active in Willow Park and other nearby green spaces

Located at the heart of the community, Willow Park's namesake green space has a lively playground area with swings and an open field often used for soccer. Willow Park’s paved walking trails spread through the entire neighborhood and connect to Broomfield’s larger multi-use trail system. These paths can be used to reach other nearby parks like Country Vista Park and the Brandywine parks. “The trails span miles for walking and biking, and they even lead to the Broomfield Community center,” Gilmore says.

Broomfield Commons Open Space sits directly north of the neighborhood, with over 346 acres of sprawling grassy fields that bloom with wildflowers. Within the open space is the Broomfield County Commons Park, which has multiple soccer fields and a dog park. About 2 miles west of Willow Park, Broomfield Community Park offers dozens of recreational amenities. There are four playgrounds, a skate park, tennis courts and an outdoor amphitheater. Patrons can enjoy the outdoor swimming pools in the warmer months and head to the Broomfield Community Center for indoor facilities. “Broomfield is pretty sport- and family-oriented. People come from all over the area to be a part of the sports programs,” Gilmore says.

High rated Adams County public schools

Children living in Willow Park can attend schools within Adams 12 Five Star Schools, most of which offer choice enrollment. Mountain View Elementary School and Westlake Middle School both earn B-plus grades from Niche. Mountain View provides a Deaf and Hard of Hearing regional program. From there, students can head to Legacy High School, which receives an A-minus, and offers over 25 Advanced Placement courses and Career and Technical Education courses in business and marketing.

Broomfield shopping centers with retail and restaurants

Although Willow Park is residential, shopping and dining are only a short drive away. Broomfield Town Center is less than 2 miles south on Sheridan Road and has national retailers like King Soopers and Home Depot. Hollan Dazed Brunch is a local, upscale brunch restaurant, and Paris Banh Mi Cafe & Bakery specializes in Vietnamese cuisine. Chain eateries in the area include Papa Murphy’s and Jimmy John’s. Across the street, Sheridan Crossing Shopping Center has additional well-known stores and restaurants such as Bath & Body Works and Chipotle. Grocery stores include Sprouts Farmers Market and Whole Foods Market. Farther east on W 120th Avenue, there’s a Walmart supercenter.

Navigating in and around Willow Park by foot or car

Sidewalks and trails foster a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly community in Willow Park. Traveling outside the neighborhood requires a vehicle. Midway Boulevard is the area’s main thoroughfare, and access to U.S. Route 287, known as W 120th Avenue, is less than 2 miles south. Both roads can be used to reach central Broomfield. The Denver International Airport is roughly 21 miles away.

Nearby Broomfield events for the community

With central Broomfield and Broomfield Heights less than 3 miles away, Willow Park residents often visit the area for festivals and community events. Broomfield Days is one of the more popular ones, taking place in September at Midway Park. The three-day event includes a golf tournament, 5K race, parade, car show and live music. Other events include BrewHaHa, the Spring Spectacular and the Jingle Bell Holiday Market. “You can sit in your backyard or go to the park and watch the fireworks from Broomfield’s Fourth of July festivities,” Gilmore says.
