Delta Park

Get ready to embark on an exciting journey as we unveil the vibrant vision for the upcoming park refresh - a tapestry of energy, color and community spirit. Picture this: a harmonious blend of seating areas and pathways, creating inviting spaces for connection and relaxation. Dazzling hues inspired by our diverse community will paint the landscape. Brace yourselves for a new playground experience, featuring unique play structures that will spark joy in the hearts of children and adults alike. And for those barren spaces? We're weaving a lush tapestry of plants and trees, transforming the landscape into a green and water conscious oasis. (The park will grow from 17 trees to over 75!)

You're invited to dive into the vibrant community tale of Greeley's Delta Park project, spotlighted by The Trust for Public Land on their dynamic blog platform. You'll uncover the heartwarming narrative of the Coffee Chat group, a spirited assembly of local residents, collaborating to weave dreams for their neighborhood's park.

Have you read the new book featuring Delta Park?

“What Happened to My Paletas?” tells the story of Calixto, a man looking for his lost cart of paletas. Along the way Calixto meets several Delta Park neighbors who help him in his quest. Designed and illustrated by Greeley artist Armando Silva, this colorful book is something all ages can enjoy.

Armando recently stopped by The Midnight Oil bookstore (827 10th Street) to give a live reading of the book… and to enjoy a tasty paleta. The room was filled to the brim with friends and families eager to experience the new book and grab Armando’s autograph.

Learn more about this storybook project at hear Armando read the book. Everybody say "Paletas!"

We are excited to share the Delta Park vision and preferred concept!

The Delta Park vision and preferred concept are based on the feedback we received from community events, surveys, and resident experts. The boards include ideas on what Delta Park might look like in the future and consist of the written vision, illustrations, character images, and preferred concept.

View the preferred concept and vision boards (PDF). The PDF can also be found under 'Documents'.

The boards will provide a foundation for Delta Park as the project moves into the Construction Design phase later this year.

You can learn more about the vision and preferred concept for Delta Park at an in-person event that will take place later this spring. We hope to see you there!

The Storybook Project
The Trust for Public Land is collaborating with local artist Armando Silva, the City of Greeley, and Unite for Literacy to develop a series of storybooks. The books are a part of the master plan process for Delta Park and showcase the residents and their diverse neighborhood.

The storybook project will continue taking place over the next year. It will elevate the community's voice in the renovation of Delta Park. The books double as a literacy tool to improve reading skills in the community. Local schools, libraries, and the surrounding community will distribute the storybooks for free. Unite for Literacy will also provide the books online, narrated in many languages such as English, Spanish, Somali, Arabic, and more.

The Delta Park team will be attending the Plaza Del Sol holiday party on Saturday, December 17 from 5-7 p.m. at the Plaza Del Sol offices, 2501 Ash Avenue #36. We invite you to grab a refreshment, enter for a chance to win a prize, and share your ideas about Delta Park. Tell us what would make Delta Park a place you can be excited about and want to visit.
You can also learn more about Greeley's newest natural area...another place to play in Greeley.

Our October 'Walk With Me in the Park' event was so much fun with a Fall carnival including games, candy, conversation, and even a mechanical bull. One of the highlights of the day, besides the mechanical bull, were several display boards showing what the consulting and design team have heard so far from residents, current opportunities and limitations in the park, and potential ideas for how Delta Park might look in the future. Themes such as Gather, Play, Sports, and Gardens were heard again and again from residents and can be seen throughout the display board photos and illustrations. The boards are now being shared throughout the neighborhood for additional input and feedback.

Take a look at the display boards and share your ideas. We want to hear from you!
