Future Parks

The Park Planning & Development Department plans the City's neighborhood and community parks. Neighborhood parks which tend to be smaller in scope are intended to provide balance amid Fort Collins' growth. Larger in scale and amenities than neighborhood parks, community parks feature a blend of active and passive areas. Park Planning tries to allot 2.5 acres for every 1,000 people for neighborhood parks, and 4.5 acres for every 1,000 people for community parks.
