Civic Center Park
Downtown green space that doubles as Fort Collins' event lawn
About this park
Civic Center Park is a 2.3-acre urban green at the core of downtown Fort Collins, surrounded by city buildings and open to the public year-round. Dogs come here on leash; the flat, mowed layout makes it easy to walk any size. The park hosts the annual Tour de Corgi parade in October and community festivals through the warmer months.
