Re-Imagining Delta Park

Delta Park is a 6-acre neighborhood park in East Greeley. The park is positioned in the middle of nearby apartments, practically serving as a backyard for many homes. The City of Greeley is partnering with The Trust for Public Land (TPL), Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains, and other key partners to re-envision the space and address the limited opportunities for recreation and relaxation. The City hopes to build a sense of community connection, ownership, and pride in this neighborhood park and asks residents and community partners to guide the park's renovation.

Project Goals

By engaging with the community before renovating Delta Park, we hope to:

  • Increase the use of Delta Park by the whole community, specifically the people who live close to the park, a large portion of whom are immigrants and refugee families;
  • Improve understanding and cross-cultural relationships;
  • Build a foundation of trust;
  • Renovate the park based on the residents' shared preferences and priorities.

Community Engagement Strategies

In support of the project goals, the City and TPL will:

  • employing the assistance of resident experts;
  • holding community events;
  • supporting culturally relevant programs in the park; and
  • creating opportunities to listen and learn from the community.

  • Watch For Construction Fencing at Delta Park

    Construction fence surrounds a large tree in a grassy area of a park. Additional trees with fencing around them are in the background. Apartments are on either side of the park.


    The City of Greeley Parks will be installing construction fencing around Delta Park starting the week of August 5, weather permitting.

    For your safety and to ensure the timely completion of this project, we ask all residents to adhere to the following guidelines:

    • Do Not Disturb the Fencing: Please do not disturb, move, or climb over the construction fencing. It is there for your safety.
    • Stay Out of the Construction Zone: Avoid entering the construction area at all times. Heavy machinery and ongoing work can pose serious hazards.
    • Keep Children and Pets Away: Ensure that children and pets are kept at a safe distance from the construction site. The fencing may impact walking paths to school.
    • Find Alternative Routes to School: The fencing may prevent children from cutting through the park to get to school. Please plan ahead and use alternative routes during the construction period.
    • Be Aware of Increased Traffic: Expect increased traffic and activity around the park. Please be vigilant and cautious when driving or walking nearby.
    • Respect Signage and Barriers: Follow all posted signs and respect the barriers in place.

    We appreciate your cooperation in keeping everyone safe and allowing us to complete the project without delays.
