Lincoln Park's Rich Heritage
Nestled at the heart of Greeley, Lincoln Park has been a cornerstone of community life since its inception in April 1870. Originally envisioned as a central gathering space, the park has evolved alongside the city, witnessing the rise of the surrounding business district by 1882 and embedding itself in the hearts of residents. Lincoln Park has been the backdrop for concerts, festivals, and joyful community get-togethers for over a century, symbolizing our local pride and togetherness.
The park's importance was significantly reinforced in 1984, with a substantial investment in downtown rejuvenation, highlighting Lincoln Park as an indispensable component of Greeley's urban landscape. This dedication to the park continued with the inception of the inaugural Lincoln Park Master Plan in 1991, followed by its recognition as a site of historical significance in 1996.
Reaffirmed in 2002 with a commitment to preserve its classical charm while adapting to modern needs, Lincoln Park today stands as a tribute to Greeley's dedication to honoring its past while crafting a vibrant future. Join us in continuing this legacy, shaping a space that celebrates our shared history and embraces new possibilities.
