Honoring the Legacy: Ribbon Cutting at Karel Drehle Park

At Hartford Homes, we believe that building communities means more than constructing homes—it means honoring the land, the stories, and the people who came before us.

This week, we had the privilege of celebrating that belief in action with the official ribbon cutting at Karel Drehle Park in our Trailside community. In honor of Karel Drehle, who, along with her husband, previously owned and cared for this land, the park stands as a lasting tribute to her legacy and the deep roots she planted here in Northern Colorado.

A Park with Purpose
Karel Drehle Park is not just another green space. It is a thoughtfully designed gathering place for neighbors, families, and future generations—a reflection of the values that shaped this land long before it became a community. With open lawns, shaded picnic spots, and trails that connect to the heart of Trailside, this park serves as both a tribute and a touchstone.

Building with Gratitude
As developers and homebuilders, we understand the responsibility that comes with transforming land into neighborhoods. We are proud to recognize and honor the Drehle family’s history as part of Trailside’s story. Their stewardship, spirit, and connection to the land inspired us to ensure this park would be more than a name. It would be a meaningful space with a lasting impact.

A Community Milestone
The ribbon cutting ceremony was filled with gratitude, celebration, and reflection. Local officials, community members, and members of the Drehle family came together to mark this special occasion. It was a moment that reminded us all of the importance of remembering where we have come from as we build for the future.

As Trailside continues to grow, Karel Drehle Park will serve as a reminder that every great community is built on stories, and we are honored to help carry this one forward.

Thank you to the Drehle family for entrusting us with this land. We are proud to honor your legacy through this beautiful park and the vibrant community it now anchors.
