SatoriAxiom, welcome to OCDO! Open carry is just as legal in Larmier County as it is in any other area of the state, excluding Denver.
The above posts and the Municipal Code it references regulate "public recreation areas and facilities owned by, or operated under the authority of, the Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County, Colorado." They have nothing to do with Larmier County generally although that was not stated above.
The sections of code in question, 10-3-42-74(14)(a) and 10-3-42-74(14)(b), would be enforceable ONLY if they comply with CRS 29-11.7-103:
A local government may not enact an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the sale, purchase, or possession of a firearm that a person may lawfully sell, purchase, or possess under state or federal law. Any such ordinance, regulation, or other law enacted by a local government prior to March 18, 2003, is void and unenforceable.
And CRS 29-11.7-104:
A local government may enact an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the open carrying of a firearm in a building or specific area within the local government's jurisdiction. If a local government enacts an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the open carrying of a firearm in a building or specific area, the local government shall post signs at the public entrances to the building or specific area informing persons that the open carrying of firearms is prohibited in the building or specific area.
So in order to be valid, there must be signs at each public entrance to the park/facility prohibiting open carry. Keep in mind that sometimes these signs will say something like "No firearms are allowed in this building per Code Sec....". That does NOT mean you can't carry concealed with a CCW. The ONLY places you cannot carry concealed on PUBLIC property are those areas listed in CRS 18-12-214 (schools, screened areas, federal sites, etc.).
Please let me know if you have any questions and have fun OCing!
