About the Location

Play & Recreation Spaces

Situated in Fort Collins, Colorado, Soft Gold Park spreads across 10 acres of public space with a variety of amenities.

Kids will love the thoughtfully designed playground with its safety-first equipment - well-suited for burning off energy while parents can keep watch with peace of mind. Sports enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either; the multi-use fields and baseball field regularly host weekend warriors looking for a friendly game.

If basketball is more your speed, the park's basketball court offers a great spot for shooting hoops, whether you're looking for a pickup game or just want to practice your jump shot.

For Four-Legged Friends & BMX Riders

Dog owners will appreciate the The spacious off-leash dog area gives your furry friends room to run, play and socialize. While waste bags are provided (thank goodness!), you should bring your own water for your pup as there aren't water facilities here, and shade is limited on those sunny Colorado days.

One of the park's standout features is its BMX pump track - a bit of a lesser-known park that rarely gets overcrowded. Regardless of whether you're an experienced rider looking to hone your skills or someone curious about BMX, this track provides a unique cycling experience away from the usual bike paths.

Natural Escapes

Need a moment of tranquility? The park connects directly to the Magpie Meander natural area, complete with a fishing pond and trails that birdwatching enthusiasts will particularly appreciate. These quiet natural spaces offer a peaceful contrast to the more active areas of the park.

The walking trails weaving through the park and surrounding areas make for pleasant routes whether you're getting your steps in or just enjoying a leisurely stroll.

Comfort & Convenience

The picnic areas include a pavilion with grills and a water table - good for family gatherings or small get-togethers.

You'll also find clean restrooms throughout the park, including handicap-accessible facilities, so everyone can enjoy a comfortable visit.

A parking lot means you won't have to hunt for street parking, but note there's a short walk to reach the dog park and other amenities from where you'll leave your car.
