HUGHES PROPERTY
At 163 total acres, a bike park would only need a portion of the property.
​The former Hughes Stadium property is a fantastic location for a multi-use space that includes a bike park fit for our community for several reasons.
​
1. It is well connected to the low stress bicycle network as well as existing soft-surface trails. It is also nearby the planned West Elizabeth Transit extension, making it highly accessible for all members of the community to enjoy.
​
2. It offers a variety of topography, including the necessary elevation change for a successful bike park. The natural features can be used within the design to deliver the high-quality experience that community members expect.
​
3. It has already been acquired by the city and designated for parks and other uses compatible with its Public Open Lands designation.
4. At approximately 163 acres, it is a large parcel that can be thoughtfully utilized for many complementary community needs, including a bike park and trail connections, as well as leaving a great portion of it as open space, and more.
We are open to exploring alternate locations if they are truly suitable for a community-scale bike park that addresses the needs of Fort Collins.
We have a large population of diverse riders that expect a high-quality park that meets our city's scale of interest.
​
Adequate acreage, diverse topography, and specifically elevation change, are key to creating a community amenity that will be used and cherished.
​​
Any other locations would also need to be easily accessible by bike and transit.
