This neighborhood park of approximately eight acres provides shade from a canopy of mature trees, a variety of recreational opportunities, and a neighborhood gathering place.
Park Identified for Update: 2022

After decades of use, much of the infrastructure at Landings Park is at the end of its life expectancy, as identified in the 2022 Parks Infrastructure Replacement Program Plan.
Budget Identified for Project: 2023

The 2050 Tax Initiative, approved by Fort Collins voters in 2023, allocates funds specifically to Parks, Recreation, Transit, and Climate. Funds invested through the Parks Department will support the replacement, upgrade, maintenance, and accessibility of park facilities.

Landings Park is the first neighborhood park update to be funded by the 2050 Tax Investment. The project scope will include the assessment and potential replacement of existing amenities within the park property.

What belongs in a neighborhood park?#

Information on neighborhood parks as described in the Parks & Recreation Master Plan:

Neighborhood parks serve the needs of residents within walking distance of their homes. Neighborhood parks should strike a balance between passive and active recreational opportunities. They are intended for residents from adjacent neighborhoods and should not seek to attract visitors from too much further.
Neighborhood parks should be accessible by way of the city’s sidewalks, low-stress bicycle network, and local streets. They should be easily accessible from the surrounding neighborhood with no physical barriers or busy streets restricting access. Where possible, trails should also connect to neighborhood parks. Neighborhood parks should have street parking nearby.
