Woodwest Park

What You'll Find Here

Tucked away in a Fort Collins subdivision, Woodwest Park has a playground area with a retro feel. The equipment likely dates back to the 1970s, complete with multiple monkey bars and slides that are fantastic for the little ones. Yes, there's a bit of rust here and there, but the slides remain smooth and ready for toddler adventures.

Fancy a game of volleyball? The park's sand volleyball court is ready when you are. The sandy area extends around parts of the playground too, so kids can enjoy some sandbox-style play while you're setting up your next spike.

Green Spaces & Shade

The park features open grassy areas that are just right for tossing a frisbee, having a casual game of catch, or simply spreading out a blanket for an impromptu picnic lunch.

Tall, mature trees dot the landscape, offering welcome patches of shade on those hot Colorado days. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the notable climbing tree near the playground - a favorite spot for more adventurous kids. Walking paths wind through the grounds, but fair warning: some sections can get a bit muddy after rain.

Basic Comforts

When you need a break, head for the shaded picnic table - ideal for enjoying a packed lunch or just sitting down with a good book. You can find trash and recycling bins conveniently placed at the park entrance, making it easy to keep this little green space clean and tidy.

Local Retreat

While Woodwest isn't as sprawling as some of Fort Collins' larger parks, it functions well as a neighborhood green space.

This quiet, secluded park provides a peaceful spot where neighbors can unwind, play, and gather. Its hidden location creates a tranquil atmosphere, but newcomers might need some navigation to find it.
