Unique Features of Library Park
The playground at Library Park in Fort Collins is a book lovers dream! Actual books you can climb on or hide in, book shelf stairs, and even animals floating on book “boats” on the inclusive merry go round. It could not be more perfect in its library-adjacent location.
More literacy-themed elements are spread throughout the playground. You can learn Braille from one panel (numbers on one side, letters on the other), sign language and there’s even a scavenger hunt for vowels hidden throughout the play structure!
A cute addition, not themed, is this obstacle structure for ages 2 to 5.
