Dovetail

written by MEGHAN WILLIS, PARKS & RECREATION BOARD MEMBER

Dovetail Park is ready to welcome the community to the joy of spring. The City of Fort Collins has a long history of creating beautiful and unique spaces for the community to gather and Dovetail Park is no exception.

The 6-acre neighborhood park, located at 2410 Miles House Avenue, opened in the fall of 2023 and is ready to welcome users with a variety of interests in mind. It is easily accessed by those in Bucking Horse and Rigden Farms neighborhoods and is close to the Poudre Trail. Jennifer Torrey, Senior Landscape Architect with the City of Fort Collins, shared that one of her goals for Dovetail Park was to design the space to reach a broad diversity of park users and age groups.

Upon entering from Miles House Avenue, park users are greeted by a three-part art installation created by artist Joshua Wiener, titled Land Drift. The steel beam sculptures appear to emerge from the earth, like brush strokes in the landscape. While meandering along the path, the sculptures appear to change from what seems to be a solid wall to separate pieces, making this a wonderful contemplation piece of art when viewed from different angles.

Once inside, Dovetail Park boasts many unique features. Leisure enthusiasts will enjoy the cozy and intentional “hammock garden” with perfectly spaced wooden columns from which one can hang their hammock and relax. Other leisure activities include ping pong, bocce ball, and cornhole. Additional features include a picnic pavilion and a large open-ended green space for a pickup game of tag, soccer or kite flying - making this a perfect place to enjoy the company of friends and family in a laidback atmosphere.

A New Park to Welcome Spring

Serviceberry, Hawthorn, Lilac, and Plum in addition to white and yellow flowering shrubs.

Of course, Dovetail also offers plenty of traditional playground fun. The park includes a beautiful slide with wooden scaffolding suitable for climbing and the opportunity to gain enough speed on the way down to rival the “cool factor” of the epic Twin Silo Park slide experience. (Perhaps unique slides will continue to be a staple in all future parks? Fingers crossed.) Park goers can also enjoy a zipline, swings, basketball, and many climbing structures.

As winter turns to spring, Torrey says to be on the lookout for five flowering species of trees including Chokecherry,

Looking forward to more new beginnings, planning is underway for the future schoolside park near Bacon Elementary School. City staff cite public input as critical in the design and development process of new parks. Neighborhood meetings, open houses, and online feedback forms are just some of the ways community members can expect to get involved in the park planning process. Feedback collected from the community is extremely valuable and reviewed carefully by the design team. Fun fact, park feedback isn’t limited to the development and design phase. Dovetail Park users will be interested to know that based on user feedback, the City will be installing a fence behind the basketball hoops to prevent balls from crossing the trail to improve user experience.

The City of Fort Collins Parks and Recreation Departments intentionally plan neighborhood parks approximately every square mile. As the weather warms and spring rolls in, be sure to check out the unique features of your neighborhood park.

ICE SKATING

Things to Know

• All ice programs are held at EPIC unless otherwise noted.

• Parents may observe lessons from the upstairs bleachers; it is distracting and creates an obstruction for skaters and coaches to have parents at the gate or in the hockey boxes.

• Parents are welcome to skate with their child during the 15-minute practice time. Individuals are not allowed on the ice with their shoes on. EPIC’s rental skates are available free of charge.

• The student to instructor ratio is one instructor for every 10 students. Any Snowplow Sam, Basic 1, or Basic 2 classes greater than 10 students include an additional assistant. Minimum for classes is five students; class levels may be combined to meet this minimum.

• Skating lessons are 30/45-minutes with a 15-minute practice time, which may be before or after the lesson depending on scheduling.

• Instructors have time in between classes to talk to parents and address their concerns. Be aware that some levels need to be repeated to master skills. Please see your coach with any concerns.

• The first day of each lesson is generally termed as Level Evaluation Day. On this day, instructors evaluate all participants in their assigned classes to make certain they have been correctly enrolled; if there is a problem, the instructor will discuss the best course of action with the parent. Students are moved if there is space available in the appropriate level of class.

• There are no make up lessons for missed skating classes.

• If the class you wish to register for is filled, you may place your name on a paid waiting list. We attempt to accommodate the demand for skating lessons by adding new classes, however they may not be at the same time/day as the waiting list class.

• If you are unable to attend the last day of classes for testing, request a progress card from your coach on the last day you attend.

Proper Attire Includes:

• Helmet (not provided; required for Snowplow Sam 1-4, and strongly recommended for beginners)

• Gloves (thin, not ski mittens)

• Fleece or light weight jacket

• Skating dresses with tights or leggings/pants that are easy to move in

• Loose or bulky clothing is not recommended

• Ice skates (may be rented at EPIC)

Coaching Criteria

All youth sports coaches must know the fundamentals and rules of the sport for which they are coaching. Coach training is offered to volunteers; volunteer coaches are expected to attend these trainings to enhance coaching abilities and know the rules and philosophy of the program.

All youth sport coaches who volunteer with the City of Fort Collins must pass a background check conducted by the City and complete a concussion certification before being approved to coach. Background checks remain confidential and are valid for one year. Individuals are not permitted to volunteer/instruct until a completed background check has been received and approved by the City of Fort Collins. The City of Fort Collins reserves the right to deny anyone to coach based on the results found in the background check, or any coach that the City does not believe will follow our recreational philosophies.

Volunteer coaches are expected to always act in the best interest of young athletes and agree to follow the guidelines and polices of the City of Fort Collins Recreation Department. For more information about coaching, contact 970-416-4281.

Youth Sports Philosophy

The leagues offered by the City are intended to be developmental in nature where learning the skills of the sport and having fun are paramount, and winning is secondary. We ask that all adults involved, coaches, parents/guardians, and other fans, keep this in mind when attending practice and games.

Online Sports Schedules & League Rules

All youth sports schedules and league rules are located online through Team Sideline. Schedules are posted no later than one week prior to the first game of each season.
