Twin Silo Park

Park Overview

Twin Silo Park is a 54-acre community park located in southeast Fort Collins, Colorado. Opened in November 2017, it is the seventh community park in the city and features a unique design that pays homage to the area's agricultural heritage.

Iconic Silos

The park's centerpiece and namesake are two 48-foot tall farm silos that were relocated from nearby Prospect and Timberline Roads. These silos have been repurposed into an innovative play structure, featuring a double-helix spiral stairway and the tallest slide in Fort Collins.

The slide begins in one silo, completes two full spirals, and ends in the second silo.
