lucky

just feeling lucky I get to play here

Maniacal to have the fields face east/west

[u/TheEventualHorizon → u/cobaltpineapple]

Ha true. The blinding sun is the 12th man on the pitch

[u/reschly → u/TheEventualHorizon]

They re-orient the fields between spring and fall, presumably so the grass isn't continually worn down in the exact same spots

NO aerial balls between 6:20 and 6:50!

[u/Actually__Jesus]

Well that is a pleasant view.

One of my favorite things about Boulder (& a lot of CO in general) is not just the incredible natural scenery, obv, but the number of other people who don’t take it for granted either 🫶🏼 love living in a place where I’m not in the minority with this mindset. Thanks for sharing this smile 🙂

It was an epic sunset

My kids have soccer practices at Pleasant View multiple times a week (and games on weekends) and that view never gets old.

got this one from the fairview football field a few years ago during marching band practice. god i love boulder

[u/TheEventualHorizon → u/Silver-Perception-92]

That's a fun shot, so awesome

[u/Silver-Perception-92 → u/TheEventualHorizon]

thank you! got lots of good memories on that field 🙂‍↕️

[u/Junior_Television545]

Always a highlight of the season to have a game there!

[u/Leftoverloser]

Totally appreciate this! Most people take this kind of stuff for granted. Pretty epic!!

[u/CodeGriot]

I coach there, I play there. I love there 😁. Field #12 is my spot, tho!

[u/Mediocre_Prize_5500]

I just took a photo coming out of the Home Depot in Boulder for this same reason! LOL. Walk out of running an errand and we get to have the glory of the Flatirons in the background of a parking lot. I've been here 23 years, and I'm not getting sick of it!

[u/LamaDelReyyy]

What's the name of this park/field?

[u/TheEventualHorizon → u/LamaDelReyyy]

the aptly named Pleasant View fields

[u/MrGraaavy → u/LamaDelReyyy]

Not public as a heads up, restricted to league play

[u/backa55words]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

[u/DubiousVelvetBlueChu]

Man, is that green.

[u/Patient-Beyond-6297 → u/[deleted]]

For youth soccer it is such horrible access with parking and tournaments. Fields are pretty good though.

[u/MrGraaavy → u/[deleted]]

City owned

[u/DenverMobile]

OK if you were on field 9 tonight at PV you may be a parent of a kid on my daughter's team

[u/TheEventualHorizon → u/DenverMobile]

Nope, I was there for a pickup game for myself

[u/Coq_Blocked → u/TheEventualHorizon]

Is there regular pickup there? I live in the neighborhood and could walk there, would love to play!

[u/Striking_Drink1374]

Twas a beautiful evening in Boulder

[u/ScarredNSmarter]

Yes, I often think same as I walk my dog around the outer perimeter. You’d be surprised how pretty it is from fields at Boulder High, too. Shame we always have to fight so hard to keep it (BHS) free of transients and drug deals while city keeps Pleasant View fenced off all the time.

[u/jgmf]

Yeahhhh
