Ever wondered who Scott Carpenter is? You know his park at 30th & Arapahoe. He’s an astronaut! He was the second American to orbit the earth in Mercury 7. He’ll be here on September 20, 2012 for the 50th anniversary of his historic space flight.
The City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department will host a park re-dedication of Scott Carpenter Park with Commander Carpenter in attendance at 4 p.m. on the 20th.
