Delta Park
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.

Thank you to the 250+ residents that attended the September 11 'Meet Me in the Park' event at Delta Park. Attendees enjoyed a beautiful evening of soccer, basketball, volleyball, limbo (yes limbo), and shared their dreams and ideas for the future of Delta Park. In addition to numerous interactive activities, residents also considered, and were encouraged to sign, a draft community vision created by a group of local residents for Delta Park.
Draft Vision for Delta Park
'The park belongs to all of us and is a place where we enjoy each other's company and relax and have fun with our friends and families. This park is unique because the people who live here are from around the world and also have spent generations here. We are rooted to this place in our own unique ways. We are a community. We find joy in our similarities and in our differences. We celebrate one another and through the park we come together to celebrate our home and our traditions - we welcome you to join us! We play together, eat together, relax together, and gather here. This is our shared space, this is Delta Park.'Plans have begun for another event in October.
