The History of Central Park in Firestone
Since acquiring the 252-acre Central Park in 2005, the Town of Firestone has explored various uses and developed multiple conceptual plans. While these efforts provided valuable insights, many lacked cost estimates and funding strategies to make them a reality. Centrally located within the town, Central Park is already home to the Carbon Valley Regional Library, Town Hall, and the Municipal Court and Police Department Building.
Since 2021, the Town has undertaken extensive efforts to prepare for development, including public outreach, creating a Master Plan (approved in 2021), and feasibility analyses with expert consultants.
In 2023, we engaged Firestone residents through a community survey, gathering input to help shape the park’s future. Now, we are taking the next step. We continue to partner with a team of experts to guide a collaborative planning process—bringing together residents, Town leadership, and potential partners to create a realistic and inspiring vision for Central Park.
Our vision for Central Park is to be a vibrant community gathering place that will serve generations to come, featuring mixed-use spaces, recreational opportunities, education, sports, entertainment, dining, and retail.
