Parks & Recreation

With a steadily growing population of just over 18,000, residents of Windsor can select from a variety of recreational activities in many locations throughout the community. In addition to picturesque Windsor Lake, over 200 acres of land has been dedicated to parks and recreational facilities. These include an outdoor swimming pool; two outdoor in-line hockey rinks; a skate park; a dog park; over 40 miles of walking, biking and in-line skating paths; several playground/sport/recreational parks; and Windsor Community Recreation Center. The Windsor Parks and Recreation Department is committed to providing the highest quality recreational experiences while simultaneously preserving the resources, wildlife and history in the area. An active and dynamic park and recreation program, an abundance of modern facilities and the variety of activities available keep Windsor residents active year-round.

Funded by grants, in-kind donations and individual contributions, the 19-mile long Poudre River Trail is nearly complete and is already a big hit with Windsor residents. With connections to Greeley and future connections to Timnath and Fort Collins, the trail offers walking, biking, running, rollerblading or any other non-motorized travel. Recreational enthusiasts will also be able to enjoy historical sites, educational opportunities and some of the most beautiful scenery available in Northern Colorado.
