About the Location

A Local Green Location

Found in Fort Collins, Colorado, Eastside Park offers 3.7 acres of neighborhood charm that punches well above its weight. This compact green space sits near an elementary school on the eastern side of town.

Natural Setting & Features

Walk through Eastside and you can find yourself wandering along paved paths that meander through an inviting mix of open lawns and established trees. There's something calming about this little park's layout - the mature trees create generous pockets of shade that make even the hottest Colorado days bearable. The thoughtful landscaping creates a peaceful retreat from the bustle of everyday life.

Fun for Everyone

The park offers options for both active recreation and relaxation. Kids can clamber around the playground equipment while older visitors might shoot some hoops at the basketball courts available at the neighboring school.

Craving a bit of relaxation? Grab a book and settle into the popular bench swing, or claim one of the various benches or picnic tables scattered around the grounds. The park's gazebo with electrical outlets makes a great spot for small gatherings, and the barbecue facilities are ready when you're in the mood for an outdoor meal.

Getting There

The park is conveniently situated near everyday conveniences like Safeway, Walgreens, and a hospital. The parking areas offer shade, which is helpful during warmer months.

The laid-back atmosphere here is ideal for walking your dog, spending quality time with family, or simply finding a quiet moment to yourself amid the greenery.
