Greeley has everything a park needs, minus some updating. The crosswalks need to be updated in the way main streets have and lamp light could make the park welcoming beyond sunsets in late summer/fall. There are walking/biking trails behind the playground and restrooms but they are essential too woodsy (debris, roots in pavement, kinda sketchy) and much too short for anything worth while. For anyone who wants grassy expanses for picnicking or tossing a ball around it's great, behind the stage and tennis courts the park includes a baseball diamonds and well kept grass for pick up soccer/football games. It could be more walker friendly though, a few paths within the tree line, around the perimeter connecting both sides with new safer cross walks would make the park much more attractive and give many folks a place to socialize and get out with making a trip to Mine Falls. Also, making the park night time friendly (lamps and the types of benches don't endorse sleeping on) could create a safe alternative to our now very busy late night main street scene for anyone looking to walk a historic and gorgeous area while avoiding the...
Read moreI recognize my review is very user specific, and this park is probably perfect for most residents. However, as a vanlifer, this park was very unwelcoming. Multiple signs stating RVs are prohibited as is “loitering in vehicles: police will take notice.” I do school work from my van and like to have a peaceful place to park and listen to the birds while I work, and this would be a perfect place for that if allowed. I understand not wanting people to be living/camping at the park, parking overnight, doing drugs or making the park feel unsafe for others, but there are many other reasons someone might be “loitering” in their vehicle. As a prior home health nurse I often sat and charted from my car, as a teenager I would sit in my car and meditate when needing a break, and now as a traveling healthcare worker I sit in my van at parks to do classwork, make food,...
Read moreIf you're into really great music. This is the place to go. They have a great concert series. Every summer. Great local bands. All these concerts are free. It has a park on both sides of the street. One side has the concert. Along with horseshoes down in the backfield. There's lots of space here to do much of anything that you want to do. On the other side of the street. It has a playground, Picnic tables and barbecue pits, a beautiful stone shed that you can sit under and trails in the back. It's worth going to these concerts. Extremely enjoyable. It's nice to walk these trails and find a sense of peace especially if you live a city life. Just like mine's falls. It is close to the downtown area where all the trails, food and shops are. This is a town that has everything in it. Enjoy your visit. I promise you you're...
