News Release
Help shape the future of the Visitor Center Parking Lot
Oct. 17, 2025
The Town of Estes Park is planning for a future reconfiguration of the Visitor Center Parking Lot. This is one of the busiest parking lots in Estes Park, accommodating not only vehicles, but charging stations, seasonal events, and significant pedestrian traffic for the Visitor Center, downtown, and nearby attractions. It is also the primary hub for area transit services and their customers, including The Peak free seasonal transit system. Redesign and construction of this parking lot is necessary to safely accommodate all of these uses, while improving its function and efficiency. The timing of construction has not been determined yet.
Please take a few minutes to tell us about your experiences with this space. Your feedback will help the design team plan for the future construction. There are two design options that each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Community input is essential to ensure it reflects the needs and priorities of those who live, work, and play in Estes Park.
The survey is now live at estes.org/publicworksprojects, surveymonkey.com/r/Z79RY6B The survey takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete and will remain open through Monday, Oct. 27.
Community feedback received through the survey will be discussed by the Town Board before a preferred layout is selected and refined. The completed design is expected in early 2026. The construction timeline has not yet been established.
