Mehaffey Park

This park has something for everyone! I walk my dog quite often on the recreation trail, but I also use many of the other facilities. They are two dog parks—for large and small/shy dogs. The rental shelters here are perfect for all kinds of get togethers and have grills. The sports facilities include a skatepark, basketball, pickle ball, tennis, disc golf and sports fields for soccer and pickup games. They have even added nice public art and interesting specimen trees. Kids love the playground year round; even more in the summer with the water features. There are bathrooms, too. The park is a stop on the loveland recreation trail, which makes it easy for people to bike to this park. There are two parking lots and two entrances.

This is a really nice park! It's also a very popular park! Two things that were disappointing : one is the drawbridge was missing from the playground and the other is no dogs were allowed on the playground. It just meant I couldn't walk around and engage with my daughter since I had our dog with us. Every other park I've been to in Fort Collins so far has allowed dogs on the park. That being said, it was very busy and it was best not to have her out there most of the time.

Went for some disc golf. They had a 9 hole course which was fairly basic. No Tree cover, tall grass and fairly short holes with Plenty of wind to make the thought of that being "easy" melt away quickly. We didn't check out the park though it looked like it was well maintained and would be great for my kids. The grounds are very well kept and the grass looks green and inviting. The disc golf course itself is not very maintained, but there are posts and has arrows indicating the hole # and direction of the basket. I'd say it was an average of 250-300 feet per basket. There are rattlers here, so be wary. And the tall grass can be tricky, both in hiding your drivers and the nope ropes. Be vigilant. Decent quick course. Worth a stop for a quickie.

Had a great time! Playground neat and clean. Well maintained! water feature fun for all ages. Picnic tables were nice for shade. The bike path and park were fun for older kids. Easily can spend all day there!

Stunning views of the mountains with a variety of spaces/courts for people to play basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, etc. There’s a pear orchard pathway near a serene, open field that is perfect for your kids to play and frolic on as well. Though, the nearby playground might be a more entertaining experience, or perhaps the little picnic shelter if you brought a meal. The dog park was much loved by my pup, and I thought it was exceptionally nice too. Mehaffey also has a fantastic skate park and great running/biking trails if you’re into that :) We didn’t venture off to explore all areas of this vast park, but I was content with everything I did see this time and cannot wait to check out the rest! It’s so beautiful with the foliage alone, but the park exceeds all expectations and has an abundance of attractions to offer. Definitely a sweet place to enjoy doing the things you love while taking in just a fraction of the nature around you.
