Before returning to Denver we drove up to the ski resort town of Breckenridge. To those of you who have been reading my blog you know I’m highly critical of town designs. Breckenridge won over my heart. I was overly impressed with the restoration of the historic buildings and the compatible new construction designs. The children’s playground was especially well done using mining themes of the town’s original purpose as a basis of their equipment. No plastic slides and beauty bark for the play area. The playground was melded perfectly into the river walk that paralleled main street. Walkers and cycles had two enjoyment choices: the shops on the main street sidewalk or the meandering path along the river. And of course the huge ski area on the mountainside as a town backdrop. Job well done, Breckenridge.
