Come play with sand, water, rocks, sticks and more in a grassy area with a nature playground and access to the river. This is a great opportunity to ease into the outdoors!

CancelI am a Public Engagement Specialist with the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas and I organize community programs, programs by request and interpretive communications like signs and brochures. I'm excited to be back in Fort Collins again after being gone for 15 years. My favorite things to talk about are conservation issues, conservation research and raptors!! The black blur in the profile photo is my cattle dog. She never stops moving!
