June 4, 2026 \u2013El Paso County Facilities and Strategic Management is announcing upcoming accessibility improvements at Fountain Creek Regional Park, located at 2010 Duckwood Road in Fountain.<\/p>\n
The project is part of El Paso County\u2019s ongoing commitment to improving accessibility, safety, and ease of use at public facilities and community spaces. The planned improvements will enhance access for residents and visitors of all abilities, particularly near the park\u2019s westside parking area.<\/p>\n
Planned improvements include:<\/p>\n
Two new ADA-accessible vehicle parking spaces
\nOne ADA-accessible van parking space
\nOne van-accessible access aisle
\nOne standard accessible access aisle
\nNew ADA-compliant curb cuts
\nA newly marked pedestrian crosswalk
\nUpdated accessibility and directional signage<\/p>\n
Construction is expected to begin on June 8, 2026, with completion anticipated by the end of June. During construction, visitors may experience temporary impacts to parking and pedestrian access in the project area. Official detour routes and any specific parking impacts will be determined once the construction schedule is finalized. Clearly marked signage will be posted to help visitors safely navigate the area during the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese improvements reflect El Paso County\u2019s continued commitment to responsible stewardship and thoughtful investment in our public spaces to benefit all of its citizens,\u201d said Brian Olson, \u201cThey help strengthen the overall experience for everyone who enjoys Fountain Creek Regional Park.\u201d<\/p>\n
