I was born and raised in Greeley. We used to pull massive carp out of Arrowhead Lake but I believe it is now closed to the public. Same with Seeley Lake. Look those up just case in something has changed.
Sanborn Park and Bittersweet Park have small lakes that I can recall catching/seeing carp at. It has been many years but they are both nice parks located near the middle of Greeley so these might be your best bet for quick, easy, carp action.
We used to fish Glenmere Park all the time for largemouth bass. I recall seeing the occasional carp.
Cottonwood Park is a quaint little park hidden in a neighborhood not far from Sanborn. I definitely recall seeing carp there. If you're bored why not check it out, I used to live around here and its a nice area.
Poudre Pond is a relatively new place to fish in north Greeley. My dad said he fared ok from a boat with various gamefish including catfish. I can't speak on carp availability.
I can verify the Jackson Lake testimony. Its been years but I recall it TEEMING with carp. About a 45-60 min drive from Greeley. Its not the most scenic part of Colorado as its in the middle of nowhere but theres a decent beach their swimming if you want to bring others while you fish.
If you're really bored go to www.greeley.gov and use their park finder to spot any bodies of water you want to check out.
Definitely get a Colorado Fishing License. The two Walmarts in Greeley will be able to provide one.
Good luck and report your findings!
