General Description:

A large open lawn field welcomes park visitors to stop and stay a while. There is a community run nursery, and a picnic table.

History:

Sather Field began its journey with the City when in 1994, Jefferson County deeded a block of property to the east of Sather Park’s entrance to the City on condition that it be used for an informal play field for the immediate neighborhood.

A lack of communication in 2006 led to an effort to turn the informal play field into a dog park without adequate public process. After neighborhood protest, the designation as a dog park was suspended by unanimous City council vote on 7 August 2006. On 4 February 2008, the City council tasked the Parks board to consider appropriate places for additional off-leash dog parks in the work plan. Now there are two dog off-leash parks, one at Mountain View Commons, and the other at the Chetzemoka Dog Park.
