Repeated stormwater flooding of the residential neighborhood prompted the City of Greeley to seek options for better stormwater management. The Woodbriar Park Renovation improved an existing 7-acre neighborhood park to include flood control storage while enhancing a highly-valued community open space.

Unique project elements included collaborative community engagement; a multi-functional detention facility and separate natural creek channel; integration of environmental art with the creek; and site-sensitive nature play recreation.
