The Parks Division provides maintenance and other services for areas not always associated with typical park operations. A few of these services are detailed below. For more information on any of these services, please contact Parks at 970-221-6660 or

Streetscapes
Medians, road surface, and parkways comprise the makeup of streetscapes. The maintenance of medians and parkways in Fort Collins is the responsibility of the Parks Division. Currently over 62 acres of streetscapes are maintained under outside contract.

All new landscaped areas are irrigated. Should you notice sprinklers running during the day, or for extended periods of time, please call us at 970-221-6660. Over the next decade, all landscaped areas will be irrigated. Many old parkways do not have irrigation and will go dormant in the middle to late summer and turn a tan color. This is a normal process for the drought tolerant turf grasses planted in these areas.

Various medians and parkways are available for adoption through the Adopt-A-Median program. Adoptions are for one year and can be renewed on an annual basis.

Disc Golf Course
The City of Fort Collins currently provides an 18-hole Disc Golf Course at Edora Park, 1420 E. Stuart Street. Any person wishing to rent the Disc Golf Course for exclusive use must complete a Field Request form at least two weeks prior to the date of the rental. To check availability and for further information contact Parks. A permit will be granted based on availability and approval from the Manager of Parks.

Archery Range
The City of Fort Collins has provided the current range for archers to practice since 1984. The range is located on the southwest side of the intersection of Interstate-25 and East Prospect Road at the south end of the frontage road, past the weigh station. The range is maintained by the Fort Collins Archery Association under agreement with the City. All labor for upkeep is provided by the club and the City provides the materials.

The range is open to the public year round. Range users can purchase a $3.00 daily pass available via a kiosk on site, or a $30.00 yearly pass can be purchased from the Parks Department at 413 South Bryan Avenue. FCAA Members will be issued a yearly pass with their membership.
