Restroom Status - Park Restrooms are now open. As a reminder, please call 303-651-8416 to report damages to the restrooms.
Reminder Park Restrooms close around the middle of October and reopen mid-April.
Restrooms in City parks are closed for the winter season because they are not heated, and therefore pipes can freeze if they remain open during the winter. The projected opening date for all park restrooms is April 15. Thanks for enjoying our parks and for your understanding.
Nature Deficit Disorder
No Child Left Inside and Lets Move Outside! are two Federal campaigns to bring attention to the disconnection between modern society and the natural world. Longmont has a wealth of parks, trails and open spaces to help Longmont residents connect to their environment. This web page links to Park Information and Greenways & Trails where you can find locations and information about these areas. To find more about the issue, the book Last Child in the Woods, by Richard Louv is recommended.

Dog Restrictions On St. Vrain Greenway East of County Line Road
The St. Vrain Greenway trail east of County Line Road has dog restrictions adopted by City Ordinance. Dogs will not be allowed on the portion of the trail east of County Line Road to Sandstone Ranch (pdf map of area) (approximately one mile of trail), on a leash or unleashed. Not able to recognize restraints such as leashes, wildlife views all dogs as predators and will leave the area. The Longmont City Council directed the restriction to protect this unique landscape, the wildlife in this area and its important wildlife habitats. When the trail is open, the approximately six miles of the St. Vrain Greenway trail from County Line Road west to Golden Ponds will be available to people and their leashed dogs.
