This park also has big soccer fields and a separate fenced in dog play area in far right corner. The best part for me is that it connects to the Poudre river trail. Being a cycling enthusiast, I found that this park allows easy access to this great trail. The pavilion also has full restrooms with running water and drinking fountains.

He barely went on the play structures because he loved the water so much. There is tons of activity for all ages from an open grass lawn, two playgrounds, splash pad, baseball fields., swings, and much more. Spring Canyon Park is definitely one that you have to check out!

For me it is nice because it is close to home but can still give a taste of nature when i dont have time to make it all the way to the mountains for a hike. This is one of my pups favorite spots. The one time they got away from home, this is where they came. There are dog poop bags at the trail head. There are also trash cans, and a recycling can and bathroom at the parking lot. Just like every other trail head in northern colorado, there is a chance of a thief breaking into your car. please dont leave anything valuable in your car. Dont hide it and think they wont find it because they can. It just takes the wrong person being there at the right time. Please please take all valuables with you. I have started leaving my car unlocked at the trail head and taking my car registration with me when i am out. So far it is working from having my door lock busted into over and over...... This natural area has multiple ways you can loop around. We generally end up walking around 2 miles here. There are many trees and weeds, however the trail is clear. It is supposed to be a leashed trail, however sometimes people will come and break the rules... hopefully that is not you ;) If you only have time for a walk and you are in town, i do recommend coming by here. take a few breaths and escape from all the craziness of busy life.

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.

Well laid our natural area. Bathrooms, trash cans, dog poop bags, picnic tables, grassy areas…read more There are several hiking trails but they are all pretty short. If you do them all though you can get 6.5-7 miles. Fall colors are popping there right now and quite lovely. Looks like its a popular spot for fishing. Saw several fishermen out and about today. Cost is $7 for a day entry pass. And they do have a annual pass.

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. .

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.
