Sugar Beet Park
Sugar Beet Park features a playground (built around a 12-foot-tall wooden sugar beet structure), picnic shelter, turf field, pollinator garden, basketball hoops, a zip line swing, rolling benches that can be pushed across miniature railroad tracks, and Frank Garza’s sculpture, “The Hand That Feeds”.
The park is central to Fort Collins’ Tres Colonias neighborhoods and seeks to honor the history of the area, which was historically home to sugar beet fields farmed by migrant laborers from Mexico and Germans from Russia who started immigrating to Northern Colorado at the turn of the 20th century.
