Investing in Greeley’s Parks, Play and Quality of Life

Parks are a valuable part of Greeley’s infrastructure and one of the most visible ways we invest in quality of life. Our city currently offers residents more than 40 parks and over 300 acres of parkland. These are safe, welcoming and high-quality outdoor places to gather, play, and be outdoors.

2025 Park Improvement Work

In 2025, the City of Greeley made major investments in parks across the community. This included the completion and ribbon-cutting of the award-winning Delta Park. Planning and design kicked off for major projects at Twin Rivers, Brentwood, Peak View, Kiwanis-Swanson, Redtail Park, a new community park and a new dog park.

The time spent planning these spaces last year allowed this year's focus to be on implementation. Equipment is now prepped for playground installation and new parks are beginning construction.

2026 Park Projects In Progress

Explore the projects in progress across the city:

How Park Projects Are Planned

Greeley’s park investments are guided by safety, usage and long-term planning.

  • Playgrounds typically last 12–15 years, or about 10 years in high-use parks.
  • Sport courts and shelters are refreshed every 5–10 years.
  • Irrigation systems last about 20–25 years.
  • Restrooms last 40–50 years, with fixture upgrades every 8–10 years.

City staff conduct monthly inspections to ensure safe facilities and to plan replacements.

How Park Projects Are Funded

Different types of park investments use dedicated funding sources:

  • Playground replacements are funded by the Quality of Life Tax.
  • Courts, shelters, restrooms and irrigation are funded by the Food Tax.
  • New parks are funded through the Park Development Fund, supported by developer fees. One example of this funding method is the construction of Redtail Park in the Westgate subdivision.

This approach allows Greeley to maintain what we have and plan for the future.

Types of Park Projects

Greeley invests in parks at every scale. From replacing aging playground equipment to building entirely new parks. Here are several of the project types you may see in progress:

  • Playground Replacements: Old or worn play equipment replaced with modern, safer structures designed for today’s families.
  • Park Improvements: These include upgrades like new basketball courts, benches, picnic tables, trees, concrete games and painted play areas. These projects help parks stay fresh and welcoming even when a full rebuild isn’t in the works.
  • New Parks: As Greeley grows, new neighborhoods and community parks are built to serve residents and keep pace with development.

Together, these investments ensure parks across Greeley are maintained and grow with the community they serve.

Community Input Guides Our Park Projects

Community feedback is a key part of every project. Residents help guide builds and park designs through surveys and neighborhood meetings. Your input ensures parks reflect what matters most: safety, fun and spaces everyone can enjoy.
