Parks – Avila Park<br />

Avila Park<br />

Chapter 2: Existing Conditions<br />

Located north of Town Hall, Avila Park has links to a<br />

local family that migrated from Texas to work the<br />

Colorado farm fields. In 2012/2013, an older home<br />

was moved onto the site to function as a living<br />

history museum and community gathering place.<br />

The park site has several very large mature trees<br />

that provide shade and privacy. A wooden gazebo is<br />

located near the parks eastern edge. Traditionally,<br />

the park was used for community<br />

gardening/relaxing.<br />
