Permanent cornhole stations and shaded seating have been added to Farr Park. And, if all goes well, you can experience the new water misters next summer when the days get hot.

What's the largest climbing boulder you can legally ship on U.S. highways? You can see it in person at Farr Park!
The climbing boulder is another big step in the Farr Park playground refresh providing 12 different routes to the top. It's also a great homage to the old climbing wall but with ten times the play.
Thank you to the our Greeley residents for sharing your ideas for this playground refresh and for your patience during construction.
What's next?
Plans are still in motion to add a picnic area and cornhole play stations. And, to help you handle the heat...two misters will be installed later this year.
It just keeps getting better! -

The new playground at Farr Park is open! Stop by and try out the new zip line, wide slide, and climb to the top of the spider web tower. And we're not done yet. Coming in 2024 will be a new boulder climbing wall, picnic area and permanent cornhole station.

We couldn't be more excited about the new playground coming to Farr Park. But first, city crews need to demo the old playground and climbing wall and prepare the area for new water features and equipment. In November, staff will begin demolition and installation of the new playground, weather permitting.
Park visitors will see fencing around the construction area. Please do not climb over or tamper with the fencing. It's there to keep everyone safe.
