Public input sought on future design of Colorado Springs community park

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The City of Colorado Springs is inviting the public to provide ideas and input on the design and development of Coleman Community Park.

A community forum regarding the design of the park will be held on Thursday, Sept. 29 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Sand Creek High School. This will be the second of three planned forums that will help inform the park's master plan.

According to the city, the park is currently a 70-acre site on the east side of Colorado Springs that is mostly undeveloped. The site is near the intersection of Tutt Blvd. and Barnes Rd.

The city said the master plan for the park will have three focus areas: creating an active sports hub, integrating Sand Creek and nature, and community park amenities. The city expects that the park will be comparable to Memorial or John Venezia community parks, with athletic fields and a playground.
