For multiple generations, City Park has been a special place where a rich diversity of people gather, recreate, create memories, and connect with nature and others in meaningful ways. As the park has aged, it has adapted to meet changes in community needs over time. A voter-approved and funded ballot initiative to make improvements to aging community parks allows for improvements to City Park to be made.
A master plan for refreshing the park over time was developed based on significant input over the past four years from the community, City Council, and the Parks & Recreation Board. Using existing funds, the City Park Restroom project will include a new main restroom and sidewalk improvements. The City Park Restroom is the only improvement currently funded at City Park.

This site serves as a resource to the Fort Collins community to keep informed about City Park Tomorrow and to weigh in on its future.

At this time, we do not have a confirmed opening date yet for the new restroom. Once a date has been established, we will update the community via this webpage and social media. We appreciate your patience while we wrap up construction.
Plans for City Park’s future are in the master planning phase. There are gardens with seating and children’s playgrounds currently included. We appreciate the suggestion about adult play features, and will take this into consideration as the plans for improving the park move forward.
