Eco-friendly efforts in Parkwood East
Parkwood East has been in the Fort Collins Sustainable Neighborhoods Network since 2021. “In Fort Collins, the city government will reimburse residents who swap their non-native grass lawns to native, low-water-use landscaping and natural grasses,” says April Neuhaus, a local real estate agent with Neuhaus Real Estate.” “These eco-friendly initiatives are seen across town, including in our extensive network of bike lanes and trails.” The sustainability network partners neighborhoods with city employees to plan sustainability events and help with landscaping initiatives. Low-water-use landscaping is encouraged throughout Fort Collins to save water in the community’s dry summer climate. Pollinator gardens and bird feeders are common front-lot features. Residents host toy and clothing swaps to reduce waste, along with block parties and community workshops.

Outdoor recreation in Edora Park
The 70-acre Edora Park lies just north of Parkwood East and has facilities for baseball, tennis, soccer and disc golf, with an 18-hole course playing host to the North Gate Disc Golf Club. The park also has a popular playground, a skate park and a community garden, where residents of surrounding communities can seasonally rent plot space to grow and harvest their own produce. The Edora Pool Ice Center has an indoor pool and two ice rinks and is the home base to Colorado State University’s water polo and hockey teams, the Fort Collins Figure Skating Club and the Fort Collins Area Swim Team. The paved Spring Creek Trail winds through the north end of Edora Park and spans 9 miles, connecting numerous Fort Collins Parks that lie along its namesake creek.
