Parks,Recreation& Culture

As the new Director of Parks, Recreation, & Culture I am immersing myself in everything Windsor has to offer, and let me tell you the benefits to living here are amazing! From endless trails and parks to programs and special events that focus on culture and the arts! It is no wonder the area is growing so rapidly.

As we near the end of 2015 and begin looking forward to the year ahead, let me ask you a few questions. Did you take advantage of everything Windsor has to offer? Did you attend a movie or concert? Visit the museum at Boardwalk Park or the Arts & Heritage Center? Walk, bike or run on the trails? Visit your local park? Take a fitness class, play a sport, try pickleball? If the answer is no, then consider this your challenge to get out and participate in 2016. If your answer is yes, then I challenge you to do more and maybe try something new!

Staff is working diligently on designing new programs and special events for 2016. One of our new initiatives that you should begin seeing prior to 2016 is a growing presence on social and digital media. Connecting to current and potential users is imperative as we build community spirit and pride while promoting Windsor as a destination.

It’s an exciting time to Live, Work, and Play in the Town of Windsor and your dedicated staff that makes up your Windsor Parks, Recreation, and Culture Department is working hard and striving to give you the best we have to offer. Enjoy perusing this issue of the Parks, Recreation & Culture Activity Guide, and feel free to email me your thoughts, comments, ideas, or suggestions.

Have Fun out there!

A study in Active Living Research estimated that the average household living half a mile from open space would be willing to pay $4,104 more for a home to live a quarter mile closer to the open space.

Active Living Research highlighted a Nebraska study which found that for every $1 spent on trails, there was almost $3 savings in direct medical cost.

The National Association of Home Builders found that 65 percent of home shoppers surveyed, felt that parks would seriously influence their decision to move to a community

Denver Museum/IMAX (Denver)Chocolate. The word conjures up visions of candy bars, hot fudge sundaes, and rich brownies, yet its rustic origins extend back thousands of years. Chocolate: The Exhibition will engage all of your senses as you trace the story of the “food of the gods,” from its earliest cultivation among the ancient peoples of the rain forest to its status today as the world’s favorite sweet.

Denver History Tour (Denver)If you are looking for the tales of well-mannered gentleman and swooning ladies with rose-scented handkerchiefs, this isn’t it. Denver’s earliest tales were almost never written by gentlemen, and polite company doesn’t even discuss those kinds of ladies. Fortunately, Denver History Tours is not a polite company, at least not this time around. Rope burn and lead poisoning helped Denver fill its coffers and its coffins. The shady ladies and killer cowboys are gone, so let’s dig into their stories in safety! (Tour includes a break for lunch, so please bring some money for your meal.) Walking Level: Easy

Active Adult – TripsNational Ice Core Tour (Denver)Get your "geek" on and fill your brain with lots of nerdy information by touring the U.S. National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL). It's a facility for storing, curating, and studying meteoric ice cores recovered from the glaciated regions of the world. It provides scientists with the capability to conduct examinations and measurements on ice cores, and it preserves the integrity of these ice cores in a long-term repository for current and future investigations. The ice cores are recovered and studied for a variety of scientific investigations, most of which focus on the reconstruction of past climate states of the Earth. By investigating past climate fluctuations, scientists hope to be able to understand the mechanisms by which climate change is accomplished, and in so doing, they hope to develop predictive capabilities for future climate change. Be sure to bring a winter jacket and warm clothes...this tour is very cold! Walking Level: Moderate
