Gunbarrel is a census-designated place (CDP) in Boulder County, Colorado, United States. The population was 9,263 at the 2010 census.〔(Colorado Trend Report 2: State and Complete Places (Sub-state 2010 Census Data). ) Missouri Census Data Center. Accessed 2011-02-25.〕 Gunbarrel is a developed (built-up) area of Boulder County, but it is not an incorporated town or village. Gunbarrel locations may have postal addresses indicating Boulder, Niwot, or Longmont as the city. The term ''Gunbarrel'' is also used colloquially to refer to a larger area, which includes parts of the city of Boulder and rural portions of Boulder County in addition to the CDP. However, this article is about the CDP specifically. ==Geography== Gunbarrel is located at (40.065482, -105.187523). It is northeast of the city of Boulder proper, separated by a buffer area of private agricultural lands and publicly owned open space. The buffer areas provide over two miles (3 km) of separation over changing elevations.〔(Boulder County Open Space Maps ), accessed 30 May 2007〕 This reduces the impact of the (Boulder Municipal Airport ) and the (Boulder County Sheriff's Department ) facilities (including the county jail), which are located on the southern side of the buffer. Two reservoirs operated by the Boulder and Left Hand Irrigation Company〔(Twin Lakes Open Space information page ), Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department, accessed 30 May 2007〕 are located in central Gunbarrel. Irrigation ditches and canals, including the Boulder and Whiterock Ditch, pass though this primarily residential area. The (Twin Lakes Open Space ), a large park which includes the two reservoirs and extends west along the ditch, is operated by the (Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department ). The park brings protected wetlands, jogging trails and green spaces directly into the urban area. The City of Boulder operates Eaton Park, adjacent to the west lake. Eaton Park includes picnic facilities, BMX jumps and additional protected wetland. Flood control facilities are integral to the reservoir and canal systems, but they do not eliminate the flood risk to adjacent development. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of , of which, of it is land and of it (0.47%) is water. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gunbarrel, Colorado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
