They are part of our mission to ensure every park is a place where, regardless of ability, everyone feels welcome in El Paso County Parks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Construction at Fountain Creek Regional Park is scheduled to begin on July 15, 2025, with completion anticipated by mid-August 2025. Temporary access restrictions may be in place during construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Ceresa Memorial Park Accessibility Upgrades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At John Ceresa Memorial Park, located at 1580 Leigh Lane, the County will install accessible parking, paved pathways, seating areas, and other ADA-compliant features. These upgrades are intended to create a more welcoming environment and expand recreational opportunities for all El Paso County residents.<\/p>\n<p>Construction at John Ceresa Memorial Park is scheduled to begin on July 21, 2025, with project completion anticipated by the end of August 2025. Portions of the park may be temporarily inaccessible during this time.<\/p>\n<p>El Paso County appreciates the public\u2019s patience and understanding during these improvement efforts. These projects are part of a broader initiative to enhance accessibility across County-managed parks and public facilities for the benefit of all community members.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">###<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">www.ElPasoCo.com<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]July 14, 2025\u00a0&#8211; El Paso County\u2019s Facilities &amp; Strategic Infrastructure Management Department, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Division, in partnership with the Parks Department, is pleased to announce two upcoming accessibility enhancement projects at public parks in Fountain, Colorado: Fountain Creek Regional Park and John Ceresa Memorial Park.
