Collyer Park

"Not a bad park I've enjoyed it in the past Looks really cool because it's a train"

"This is a fun neighborhood park with swings and slides spinning rides and a great climbing thing. My grandchildren had a blast. Restrooms were clean, really great park."

"Great large park in Longmont. It has a nice children’s playground themed as a train with slides, swings, and ladders to climb. Also has a tennis court, two gazebos, mature trees, restrooms, and public art."

"Love this historic park! The train playground is amazing and is mostly shaded by the huge trees within the park. There are two tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, two picnic area's with grills (website mentions reservations), restrooms and plenty of park benches throughout. Dog friendly! Also this park is 4 acres, a city block, and is full of lush grass to sit and take a break! I was intrigued by the history of this city park as it was built by the founders (and 1 of 3 original parks) mapped planned. This park was named after Robert Collyer of the Chicago Colony - Colorado later named Longmont. This is one of three parks shown on the original square-mile plot of Longmont. It is named for Robert Collyer, Chicago minister, temperance leader and president of the Chicago-Colorado colony which founded the city. Although Collyer never set foot in Longmont, his leadership helped shape the original city. On Arbor Day in 1884, local citizens cleaned the park and planted trees, some of which remain today. A brick bandstand was built in the middle of the park in the 1920's and was the site of summer concerts until 1969. Historic Eastside Neighborhood."

"A smaller park, but still nice. Has playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic pavilions and seasonal bathrooms. It looks lovely in the warmer months, only down side is that it's right next to the railroad tracks so an otherwise peaceful and relaxing experience can be interrupted abruptly."
