Land Preservation for Future Recreation
Future development to the north of Longmont is intentionally constrained by the Boulder County open space buffer north of Highway 66 and east of Main Street. It is recommended that a 40 acre or larger site be acquired by the City or another governmental entity and classified as Public or Quasi-Public and held for future potential recreation needs as the City heads towards build out. The site could be used for recreation facilities, such as a recreation center, a community park or a specialized outdoor adventure facilities such as a bike park, a zip line course or an outdoor climbing feature. A park or recreations facility in this area would provide a balance of access to community parks as well as serve gap area N3.
