More than 600 people gathered under blue skies to welcome Castle Pines North's Coyote Ridge Park during the August 25th neighborhood party and BBQ. Welcoming comments were made by Master Association vice president Jim Beimers, President Linda Nuzum, and Douglas County Commissioner Melanie Worley. So many people have worked tirelessly to turn the dream of a neighborhood park for CPN into a reality. Ron Valiga former President of the Master Association; Tom Anderson, former Metro District Manager and President of the Parks Authority Board; Chris Fellows, Developer of the Daniel's Gate area; Steve Elken, Developer of the Hidden Pointe neighborhood; other members of the Parks Authority Board: Sandy Colling, Castle Pines North Foundation; Ron Benson of Douglas County Parks, Royann Cygan and Darwin Horan, and Joe Sewell of D.R. Horton, were recognized during the Opening Ceremony. A colorful arch of balloons was then cut free and sent soaring into the bright skies over CPN. Then, it was time to eat with the help of Bennett's BBQ and Schwanns. Entertainment included a petting zoo, a haunted house "moonwalk," country-western music, and a show by a group of fancy pigs, the Top Hogs. Some took advantage of the new green field to drive golf balls and kick around soccer balls. But the star of the show was probably the brand new playground equipment, which was enjoyed by kids of all ages, some of whom helped select the equipment during a meeting last spring. Many thanks to Carla Kenny and Karen Thompson, for their hard work putting together a really fun evening for the residents of Castle Pines North. With pavilions to provide shade, great amenities, and with plenty of parking, Coyote Ridge Park is destined to become a vital area of our neighborhood. See you at the park! |
