Shopping in and around Greeley. If it’s shopping you crave, you’ll find it in and around Greeley. If you prefer a more rural, small town setting, or even some land for the horses and 4-H projects, the towns of Eaton, Ault, Pierce, Kersey, LaSalle, Milliken and Windsor are only minutes from Greeley. The farther north and/or east of Greeley you go, the more affordable the acreage.
Greeley is a city of parks. One can hardly drive through town anywhere and not run into a park. Some of the parks are situated around a lake. One lake in particular is in Glenmere park which has been the principal park of interest since I was a child when my parents came to Greeley from Platteville, where I grew up, to just meander around and enjoy the many species of flowers and have a nice quiet picnic. Now, all the flowers are gone except the water lillies on a small pond.
