Trail Head Park Construction Schedule Notification
The Park Planning & Development Department hopes that everyone in the neighborhood is staying safe and healthy during this COVID-19 pandemic. Please know that design work is nearly complete for the project, but there has been a delays as a result of COVID-19. Project impacts include both fabrication and contractor delays, due to staff shortages caused by the virus. In addition to these challenges, Park Planning is also working out details related to providing a raw water irrigation system for the park, which requires coordination with the irrigation ditch company and the HOA. Plans for construction are tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall of 2020 with the park opening in the summer of 2021. Park Planning & Development will post project updates to this webpage as we finalize the construction timeline, as well as provide Nextdoor notifications to the neighborhood. Thanks again for your interest in the park, we appreciate it.
The City of Fort Collins Master Plan outlines a goal that every resident in Fort Collins is approximately one square mile away from a neighborhood park, and approximately four square miles away from a community park. To align with the goals of the City’s Master Plan, Park Planning and Development is working to create a new neighborhood park in the Trail Head neighborhood. We will host a number of meetings to collect feedback from the surrounding neighborhoods to gauge interest and learn about what features neighbors would like to see at the new park.
The current site of the future park was once the Hartshorn Tree Farm where many of the trees that line Mountain Avenue and Old Town were once grown. The site is also known for migratory bird populations that pass through. Park Planning and Development hopes to pay tribute to the site by incorporating features into the park design that reflect the area’s history and natural elements.
