Park Planning and Maintenance

Fort Collins is home to award-winning parks and an expansive trail system. Our Park Planning and Development team collaborates closely with the community to design and maintain our parks and trails, whether it’s planning for a new park or working on renovations in an existing location.

Park Improvements and Renovations 

The Parks Infrastructure Replacement Program (IRP) supports the replacement and/or renovation of Fort Collins' aging park infrastructure. These projects typically feature upgrades or improvements including hardscapes, buildings, fields, trails, courts, structures, playgrounds, irrigation, medians, water, ADA improvements and more.   

The goals of the IRP are to: 

  • Replace or restore components to substantially the same original condition, purpose, and efficiency.
  • Bring new components up to current codes and guidelines.
  • Follow the Park Department's mission to provide excellent care of parks and public spaces for the community. 

Projects are prioritized based on available funding, health and safety concerns, and regulatory mandates. The Infrastructure Replacement Program helps ensure that every Fort Collins household, regardless of the age of the neighborhood, has access to a functional park near where they live.
