City of Loveland

The City of Loveland Open Lands & Trails program has conserved over 5,000 acres of open space in and around Loveland.  In 1995, the citizens of Larimer County approved the 1/4-cent Help Preserve Open Space sales tax to protect open space, natural areas, wildlife habitat, regional parks and trails. In 2014, voters overwhelmingly supported the extension of the tax until 2043. Eighteen natural areas and open lands are open to the public, with more than 50 miles of paved and natural-surface trails throughout the community.
