The City of Fort Collins is actively monitoring the developments of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and working with City, State, and County public health partners to maintain the use of parks and natural areas.

In line with the "safer at home" guidance provided by the state and Larimer County Health Department, select park amenities are open including:

Tennis courts, disc golf courses, pickleball courts, handball courts and horseshoe pits (Exception: the tennis courts at Twin Silo are shared with Fossil Ridge High School and will remain closed)

Park spaces and trails

Golf courses are currently open. Select amenities and league play are not available at this time. Visit the golf webpage for full details.

Additional park amenities including dog parks, playgrounds, shelters, skate parks, basketball courts, and the archery range will remain closed at this time. We are keeping in close contact with public health partners and will continue to open park spaces up for use as we are safely able to do so.

In order to keep our remaining park spaces open for the public, all users are asked to recreate responsibly and follow the guidelines below:

Refrain from using parks or trails if you are exhibiting symptoms of illness.
Observe the minimum recommended physical distancing of 6 feet from other individuals at all times. If this is not possible, try to find an alternate location or depart that space.
Wash or sanitize hands before and after visiting a park/trail space. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Share the trail: while on trails, alert other users of your presence and as they pass, step aside to let others pass.
