Fossil Creek Spray Park Improvements, May, 2009
To better serve you, the spray park at Fossil Creek Community Park will undergo a "face lift" during the next several weeks. Once construction is complete, the park will include more water features, along with additional seating areas. New equipment will also be installed, complying with the most current health and environmental codes. Although the spray park will be closed while construction is underway, our goal is to have the improvements completed and the park open for use by the middle of July. We appreciate your patience during this process and apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact, Craig Foreman, at (970) 221-6360. Thanks!

When "Choice City" voters approved the measure, funding for the 99-acre park was available.
