As you can imagine from it's name, City Park is THE park in Fort Collins. It's located near Old Town and includes a lake, huge open green spaces, a playground, a nine hole golf course, an outdoor pool with waterslides, a train, a trolley that goes to Old Town, and plenty of picnic shelters.
We were looking forward to spending a few hours with other families from the Mom's Club. The club had even reserved the train for an hour of unlimited rides. Unfortunately, earlier in the day we were struck with a classic Colorado spring storm. A storm that included a lot of hail and lowered the temperature by about 20 degrees. It meant that fewer families showed up than originally planned, but I think those of us who did still had a good time. The unlimited train rides turned into only two rides due extremely wet tracks that were making the train work too hard. It was a bit disappointing, but still fun for the rides we did get to take.
This is what the park looked like when we arrived. The picnic shelter we were in was also flooded with curtains of water dripping from the roof. This was about 3 hours after the storm had passed through. The amount of hail was impressive.
My cold toes.

All in all it was a fun start to our summer season even if it felt more like winter.

A park with train rides, that is THE park. Did you get new tevas? I desperately need a new pair.
It is a pretty fun park. I did get new Tevas, those are actually my third pair, I had green ones last year and they were trashed in one season.
