Overview

Fox Meadows Neighborhood Park will be located on a 9-acre parcel owned by the City of Longmont within Boulder County. This parcel lies south of Ninth Avenue in east central Longmont, west of Weld County Road #1. The parcel was dedicated to the City of Longmont in 2004 with the Fox Meadows subdivision. The Fox Meadows park site is in one of the oldest areas of town not currently served by a neighborhood park. The adjacent parcel to the east is owned by the St. Vrain Valley School District for the development of a future elementary school. The Fox Meadows parcel is identified as a future park in the 2014 Parks Recreation and Trails Master Plan.
