Radiant Park - Fort Collins, Colorado

Aaron Decker

Nice park with a very large open space. That's very level and well maintained. It has a large/ wide sidewalk going around the entire thing as a walking path. That's very nice. It has many doggy stations throughout. There is a nice, but very small, children's playground with a few items for younger kids. Overall nice park, small, with easy access.

This park would be pretty cool if they actually worked to maintain it. It's the only one that I know of around here that has a zipline on it. And the zipline still works. However, pretty much every other piece of equipment there is broken or missing. There's only one swing for a small child, the other one is missing. Teeter totter is gone, and they have to different structures that are meant to spin, but good luck spinning them fast enough to enjoy it unless you're a couple of bodybuilders.

Great park, carefully upkept. The zipline is great. Most of the playground equipment has been 'child-proofed' to, in my opinion, an excessive degree. The merry-go-round barely moves! Other than that, it's a great place to check out. If you're there in the summer wear mosquito repellant- they're nasty near the creek that runs through the park!

I brought my three year old son here. He loved the play ground equipment and the walking trail in the park. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. The only draw back was that the only parking I found was street parking.

The city was trying too hard for aesthetics instead of usability at this park. There is a limited amount of play equipment for little kids that don't work very well. The merry go rounds for example, are difficult to get and keep moving, even for an adult. The pathway to the water area, made of some kind of bonded gravel, is rapidly deteriorating and I don't think has ever been maintained. The water area is a stagnant pool that most kids won't want to play in (it's excellent for catching crayfish though). Unlike other park grass in the city, the stuff here in the large field is rough and uncomfortable to use without shoes or for playing in.

On the plus side, there is a decent walking/biking/skating path along the perimeter of the park. I even ran across a large snapping turtle sunning itself just off the pathway once. The all ages zip line is really nice, and it is usually the busiest thing in the park.

Fun little park. Quite spread out. Zipline is quite high and could benefit from a platform. It also seems quite 'sticky' in that it goes quite slow. Not really any parking close by unless it's a weekend and you park in the school parking lot.

Radiant Park has been forsaken for Twin Silo Park. Much of the equipment is broken and few people go there. Nice stream access, though.

An amazing park, the kids had lots of fun, a lot more "modern" than other parks I've seen.
