Iconic Outdoor Spaces Throughout the Years:
Recently Completed: GREEN AT 38TH
ECI completed The Green at 38 in September 2025 for the City of Wheat Ridge with The Architerra Group serving as the landscape architect It is the first new park built in Wheat Ridge since 2014 and serves as a downtown civic gathering area The 2 8 acre site includes several unique elements, such as the relocation of the Stevens Elementary School parking lot, roofed stage structure, san-o-let enclosure, landscape improvements and event lawn, accessible playground with custom play elements, gas firepit with gathering areas, walks and plazas using artful paving, brick and stone masonry, and utility relocation and coordination.
The park incorporates numerous fascinating aspects, including the tallest play-ground structure in Wheat Ridge, as well as a community celebration wall, which highlights the city’s history The Owl Tiles on the wall are preserved from the City’s original school, which was built in 1873
Recently Completed: WILDWING PARK
WildWing Park is the fourth consecutive CM/GC project ECI was selected to build for the Town of Timnath, following the successful completion of Timnath Community Park Phases 2 and 3 and Timnath Reservoir Shoreline Improvements The park is adjacent to Timnath’s WildWing neighborhood and celebrated its grand opening in April 2025
Phase I of this project involved the redevelopment of the existing park property. The new park amenities include expansive dog parks, new community garden, post-tension basketball court and pickleball courts, new playgrounds for all ages, sand volleyball court, restroom and shop building, shelter space, food truck plaza, and large multiuse fields.
ECI successfully completed this project in partnership with The Town of Timnath Collab Architecture and TST Inc Consulting
Project Feature: WILLOW BEND PARK
st
ECI Site Construction Management is proud to announce that Willow Bend Park, located on E. 1 Street in Loveland, opened to the public in June 2025. This unique venue combines parks and playgrounds with open space and natural education.
Willow Bend Park is unique in that it provides universal access so visitors of all ages and abilities can connect to the outdoors and enjoy its many features Spanning 163 acres, the park includes a climbing tower, swings, carousels, concrete slides, zip lines and more, all of which are accessible by paved ramps or smooth surfaces Additional aspects of the space include a smaller “sensory friendly” play area shielded from noise by a large vegetation area, as well as an expansive natural area, featuring trails and seating areas Visitors can also enjoy a picnic plaza and charging stations for assistive devices
This project is the realization of years of vision for an allinclusive play space. The idea was first proposed in 2014, and after a decade of securing funding and the property, it broke ground in 2024. The park is already garnering much acclaim for its commitment to inclusivity and diversity in the parks and recreation sphere.
Willow Bend Park came into fruition thanks to the dedication of several key players: City of Loveland Parks and Recreation (owner), Dig Studio (architect), Muller Engineering (engineer), and a strategic group of subcontractors
It was an honor to bring this inclusive outdoor space to Loveland, and we can’t wait to see the many ways it will serve our community for years to come
Project Feature: IDLEWILD PARK
Situated at 8,821 feet above sea level, Idlewild Park in Winter Park combines historical commemoration with modern inclusivity for a truly remarkable play experience. ECI completed Idlewild Park in October 2025 in partnership with Koelbel & Co., with Vogel and Associates serving as the project’s landscape architect.
Idlewild Park, built at the base of the Rendezvous community, boasts the first all-inclusive playground in Grand County, It features ADA picnic tables, play elements such as the “We-GoSwing,” accessible pathways, learning braille play panel, and sensory play panels ECI overcame challenges to successfully complete this project, including poor soil quality that was discovered onsite from previous site usage early in project mobilization, which was promptly resolved
The project location has a rich history, which was incorporated into the park design. The area served as a hunting ground for the Ute and Arapaho tribes in the early 1800s, and by the late 1800s and early 1900s, the logging and mining industries emerged in Grand County thanks to the completion of Grand County’s first railroad. Following World War II, tourism boomed and the ground below the park became the prominent ski community, Ski Idlewild, until its closing in 1986
Several unique elements reflect the history of the park, including a custom wigwam structure with spiral stairs, a legacy wall that pays tribute to the previous ski lodge, and refurbished chairlift benches from the original chairlifts of the ski lodge We are grateful for the opportunity to bring such a unique space to Grand County
