About the Memorial

The 9/11 Memorial at Spring Park offers residents a local destination to contemplate the magnitude of September 11, 2001, reflect on our collective loss, and honor firefighters and first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice on that dark day. This effort will ensure these values are shared with generations to come.

Symbolism and history serve as a backdrop for a priceless artifact, an I-beam from the World Trade Center, to create a living tribute. In 2015, a tremendous local effort was made to move the World Trade Center I-beam to Fort Collins. This artifact will be the centerpiece of the memorial, creating a space for visitors to reflect and remember the historic events of that day.
