SUCH a cool park. As the mom of a two year old, I have been to many, many parks. But this one was…read moreone of the coolest for sure. It felt really safe like not a ton of steep drop offs that we had to worry about. My son had an absolute blast here! Probably good to come early if you have young kids because the longer we stayed more big kids came and they were (understandably) a little wild! I love how there is so much to do, can definitely spend a while here. So glad we got to visit here!

What a fun park! It's so refreshing to find out of the box parks like this…read more There are lots of fun slides and activities to partake in. The best activity I partook in was the "zipline." My sis and I are in our twenties, and we had a blast, especially after dark when no one was around. Yeah, parks are for kids, but I feel like they're for adults, too.

Hidden gem of a park. This park is better than fossil creek park and way less crowded. It has a…read moreplayground, fields and toilets. Has loads of playground equipment and it's got tons of shade.

The park is extensive and beautiful. We also had so much fun taking a just-us train ride around the other side of the park that went towards a good cause. Definitely stop if you're in the area! It's bigger than expected so take some time to really behold all the amazing sculpture work there!! Would love to move to Loveland one day!

I was in the mood to explore before I hit up Bucees so we found this sculpture park in Loveland and…read moreit was a very nice walk. There were lots of unique sculptures from animals to people. It's a great park to bring your dog. It's quite big and spacious so you can get a nice walk in and get your steps for the day. My dog had a lot of fun. We had a fun photo shoot with him. If you're in the area and need to kill some time, this is a great place. And it's free so always a bonus.

Just had my second visit to Horsetooth! The first time following all of the spring rains mid June I…read morewas impressed by how much the landscape resembled part of Oregon I traveled through on a road trip (Lowell) This last time over Labor Day weekend however, with the water levels lower by a hundred feet, for a moment it occurred to me they decided to put a more traditional "beach" area there. The water had been up to the rocks near the parking area at the South Bay swim area. In the late summer, it had more of the expected high desert vibe. It's nice that they have a no-wake area for paddle boarders and swimmers. Although it is a reservoir, the ugly wall is not a prominent visual feature like ie: Cherry Creek reservoir. I enjoy how this one is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains. Next time, I am absolutely bringing a paddle board. This time however, I was amused and inspired by one man who was not immediately deterred by the fact that he fell off his again and again. When he finally gave up, he had the same problem with his inner tube. The bathrooms/showers were not disgusting but I wasn't so sure how sanitary those children's diapers were in the water. .

Tons of options for hiking. My only gripe is the paid parking, but that seems typical for the…read morearea. Trails around the reservoir were fun and varied from rocky beaches, to steep grades, to rocks you could boulder or climb. The trails were well kept and they were not crowded.

Old Town Square is an absolute dream! It feels like I'm living in a Hallmark movie, especially at…read moreChristmas! I stumbled upon it a few months back while looking for a place to have breakfast with my daughter (ended up at Silver Grill Cafe). After breakfast, we decided to wander around a bit and check out the area. The square is beautiful! In the middle, you'll find a stage that is home to a lot of live music in the evenings, and a fountain/splash pad for the kids (or adults and some dogs I've seen), to run and splash around. They have a piano for the public to play, a fountain to make wishes in, and some interesting local art. There is plenty of seating to sit and watch the kid's play or have a small bite to eat. The fountain/stage are surrounded by a large number of local boutique shops and delicious restaurants. A bonus, a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop! It is a great area to spend a warm day. At Christmas, all of downtown and old town are lit up with thousands of lights in the trees, on the buildings, etc. It is absolutely stunning! Back to my earlier comment that it truly feels like a Hallmark Christmas movie. They set up Santa's workshop in the middle of the square for kiddo's to meet him, sit on his lap, and take photos. He was such a kind man and was wonderful with the kids. Right next to this, is a skating rink. This unfortunately was disappointing. It's not ice, it's some plastic stuff that is physically impossible to actually skate on. Honestly it felt like a lawsuit waiting to happen with how easy it was to fall. It was uncomfortable and not very fun, we only went two laps and gave up. It was free, so at least we didn't waste any money. It's great for "looks," but don't recommend it. Overall, this is truly one of my favorite places in Fort Collins and I love spending my days here with my daughter.
