On our way home to Lincoln we stopped in Fort Collins for two days and went to two great parks! If you go to Colorado and need a place to stretch your legs-check these out. They are phenomenal and each have walking/biking paths so the kids can play and then you can go for a walk before getting back in the car. Both parks listed also have dog parks so your furry friend can get some exercise too!
Twin Silos Park
5552-5564 Ziegler Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80528
This park is built around two silos, hence the name. So, what could they have done with two silos? Um, awesomeness. There is a slide that starts in one tunnel and then it cross to the other. The entire facility is one amazing climbing/maze structure with nets, stairs, poles and slides. We were there for two hours and didn't play with everything. This park is for ages 3 and up. Many adults, including myself and my husband, went down the silo slide. It really fun! There are restrooms on site and picnic tables.

Fossil Creek Park
5821 S Lemay Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80525
Fossil Creek is a park built around fossils and dinosaurs. The mammoth statue in the middle of the playground immediately draws kids in. Surrounding the mammoth are swings, ride ons and multiple climbing structures: half of which are designed for 5 and under. There is also a climbing wall with dinosaur fossils imprinted on it. My youngest child loved this park and I really liked that it was designed for all ages, even the youngest. The trail that goes around this park has fun, hidden surprises like a splash pad and mammoth tusks. It is beautiful! This park also has picnic and restroom facilities.
