COVID-19 Update
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.
Complying with recent State and County Stay-At-Home orders City parks have implemented the following restrictions:
- Playgrounds, shelters, picnic areas and dog parks are closed.
- Bathrooms are closed.
- Skate parks, disc golf, and all court sports including basketball, tennis, pickleball and others are closed.
- Golf courses are open for people to walk or run, but in the interest of public safety no golfing (i.e. hitting a ball) activities are allowed.
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 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.
