Taft Park Improvements

No big equipment. Stay within the existing boundaries of current play equip. so that the open space remains for field sports.

Natural (color/material) play equipment that is engaging for a wide range of ages. Durable, eco-friendly, & sustainable. Pollinator garden!

A spot where we show that nature+design+function can go together!

I dream of an all-ages space where people want to stroll or visit with friends, stop for a picnic, or let their kids of any age play (or even move themselves!). I saw gorgeous elements at Woodbriar Park featuring lots from naturesinstruments.com recently in Greeley and thought this could be so great for Taft Park. Let's use trees and natural elements. Let's keep the grass free of herbicides and pesticides so that our kids can play! Maybe a light that a stationary bike lights up! Let's let visitors learn about nature and conservation while there!! This is the neatest stretch of a park, and it has so much potential. Please don't let it just be flooded with bright colors, cement, and plastic-coated elements. Pollinator garden, water elements (love the water spigot!)...logs for climbing.

Please keep the large evergreens and remove the noxious weeds. Avoid using ground tires to pad the playground area (carcinogenic.)

Also, please keep the two-seater glider. Looking forward to the upgrade. Thx

Add sanded areas for a volleyball court or horseshoe pit.
