EXPLORE WESTMINSTER.

HALFWAY BETWEEN DENVER AND BOULDER, WITH OPEN SPACE EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK.

WELCOME TO WESTMINSTER

Westminster sits about nine miles north of downtown Denver, straddling Adams and Jefferson counties and sitting roughly halfway to Boulder. That location alone makes it a favorite for people who work in one city and play in the other.

Open space is the big story here. Voters approved an open space tax back in 1985, and the city now owns more than 3,000 acres of it. Standley Lake Regional Park is the crown jewel for boating, fishing, and sunsets over the mountains, and the Big Dry Creek Trail runs about 12 miles across town to the lake.

What makes Westminster special is the mix of old and new. The historic Westminster University building, once called the Princeton of the West, still stands on the National Register. Meanwhile, Downtown Westminster is growing on the old mall site, Westminster Station connects to Union Station on the B Line, and the Butterfly Pavilion is a must with kids.
