👍👍 Another great Fort Collins Park! Sugar Beet Park is different from any other. They have really cool climbing equipment for the kids, and of course, the classic swing and slides. It also has a great open space that is very level and open for picnics, family activities, and a great for dogs as well....

😐 This park is a great little park. Such a shame we (the neighborhood residents) had to wait so many years for Journey Homes to build what they promised. It could (and should) be bigger, but it's adequate for small children.

👍 This is a beautiful place. Wish they would pave over the gravel walkways. They get really muddy when it rains.

The "A"
Park
😠 What a great way to ruin a nice view. A faded painted "A" on the side of a gorgeous landscape. It's just so silly. Will never understand why the city gives the ok this. All because of what? Some mascot for college/sports? How about not defacing a mountain with spray paint. Goofiest thing I've ever s...

Observatory Village Park
Park
🫤 There's really nothing special about this park. It shouldn't even be called a park. There is a little gazebo with a giant shooting star that only on certain random days will spit out water. The park itself is very small and designed for toddlers or younger children. It's good for the neighborhood bu...

👍👍 Nice little park in a quiet area of town. Nice small children's playground with swings, slides, and swirly chairs. There is a lot of open space at this park. Some of the open space is completely open. While another open space is spaced with trees. The restrooms are currently closed. There is a full...
