Lee Martinez Playground

One of the bigger spots in Fort Collins, this place gives kids a lot of room to roam without parents feeling like they’re constantly hovering. Summer is really when it shines — there’s enough going on that kids of different ages can split off and actually find something they want to do. It’s the kind of park where you can make an afternoon of it rather than burning through everything in 20 minutes. If you’re local and haven’t made a trip out here when the weather’s good, you’re missing out.
