FEATURES
Moving to Lowry isn't like moving to the suburbs -- you
don't have to lose the excitement and energy that you loved about the city. We have taken
great care in designing this community to make it feel alive and kicking. With a
collection of public art projects, an historic aviation museum, a ballpark, ice arena,
golf course, restaurants, retail services and parks, we've brought a mix of cultural and
recreational treasures to our community's doorstep. Plus, with the action of downtown
Denver and the Cherry Creek shopping district nearby, Lowry helps you stay close to
reality.
Recreation
At nearly 800 acres, Lowry's parks and recreational areas
will be equal in size to 20 percent of all the park space in Denver today! It's the
largest increase in recreational space to occur in the city in many, many decades. To
demonstrate our respect for the environment, Lowry uses drought resistant, native plants
and trees in its design whenever possible and strictly complies with local watering
restrictions.
Parks
Lowry will contain a mixture of large green areas plus smaller neighborhood parks. The
centerpiece of Lowry's park system will be the Great Lawn, a large expanse of open space
that echoes Denver's other classic parks such as Cheeseman, Congress and City Parks. The
Lowry Great Lawn will be a flexible, social space that could be used for play, games or
picnics.
Neighborhood Parks
The neighborhood parks at Lowry are designed as smaller green spaces serving the daily
needs of residential areas, with amenities such as picnic areas, playgrounds and walking
paths. Served by local streets, parks are within an easy and safe walk from homes. While
several parks are under construction, the Lowry community already enjoys two neighborhood
parks:
Bayaud Park: In the
Southwest Neighborhood, this 5-acre park offers open space and a children's playground.
Crescent Park: In the Northwest Neighborhood, this
8-acre park features a contemplation area, covered and uncovered picnic tables, picnic
pavilions, natural areas, a playground and an open play area.
Boulevards and
Parkways
The landscaping at Lowry is extensive with flowers, new drought-resistant trees and
thousands of mature, transplanted trees. Major thoroughfares have landscaped medians much
like traditional Denver parkways. Every sidewalk has a tree lawn.
Recreation Centers
Lowry features a "sports boulevard" flanked
by baseball, soccer and other fields as well as basketball and tennis courts. Jackie
Robinson Field, a beautiful youth baseball park reminiscent of Coors Field, is its
centerpiece. The Big Bear Ice Arena and a championship golf course are close by. In
addition, the newly expanded Montclair Recreation Center will offer swimming, sports,
classes and more to the Lowry community and its neighbors in summer 2003.
A regional recreation complex, the "Sports
Boulevard" will be flanked by playing fields and courts. The complex is being built
by the Lowry Redevelopment Authority and will be operated by Denver Parks and Recreation.
Now open is Jackie Robinson Field, named after baseball great Jackie Robinson and modeled
after Coors Field. It functions as a Little League ballpark for Metro Denver. Three fields
are designed for tournament play geared to children 14 and under a place where
younger kids rule. Nine other multi-use fields are planned to allow for the greatest
flexibility now and in the future. Fields will be sized to handle soccer, rugby and
lacrosse.
In addition, two softball fields, four tennis
courts and three basketball courts complete the mix. A new privately owned ice arena, Big
Bear, home to today's Avalanche hopefuls, is open to the public. The Big Bear Ice Arena is located at
8580 Lowry Boulevard in a former aircraft hangar. The facility, open year-round, is a
family entertainment center with two indoor ice rinks, one outdoor roller rink, video
games and refreshments.
The Montclair Recreation Center on Ulster Street
in the Northwest Neighborhood is operated by Denver Parks and Recreation for the enjoyment
of the entire Lowry community and its bordering neighborhoods. When completed in June
2003, the center will hold two swimming pools - one for lap swimming and sports, and one
for leisure. In addition, a multi-purpose gymnasium will accommodate sports, fitness
classes and events; beautiful, outdoor playfields will be used for pick-up games and play.
Hiking and Biking Trails
Miles of peaceful, scenic trails link all of Lowry's neighborhoods, parks, businesses,
retail town center, golf course and sports facilities. The trail system will join Denver's
existing network of trails, opening up additional recreational opportunities.
A network of public trails will connect all areas
of Lowry and link to the regional trail system. Westerly Creek is being revitalized as a
recreational corridor from the Highline Canal Trail south of Lowry to the Sand Creek
Parkway at Stapleton. Westerly Creek Dam was built by the Army Corps of Engineers to
manage a 500-year flood. The 45-foot-high, 1.5 mile-long dam provides the best scenic
views at Lowry. Gradual ramps will allow people to walk or ride to the top of the dam to
enjoy the view, along with some solitude.
In addition, Kelly Road Dam is located near
Eleventh Avenue, Lowry's northern boarder. Its wetlands will be re-established and
enhanced, providing a habitat for wildlife and natural areas for strolling. Interpretive
signage is planned for the area as well.
