GARDEN OF THE GODS 100-YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
GRAND FINALE PARADE
On Saturday, October 17, 2009, the 100-year anniversary celebration of the gift of Garden of the Gods Park to the City of Colorado Springs will conclude with a Parade to the Park, beginning at 9 am at the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center parking lot. All ‘categories’ of Park visitors are invited – hikers, bikers, rock climbers, bird watchers, scout troops, history revelers – all groups and individuals who appreciate the beauty of the Garden. A shuttle bus will be available to escort those who are not able to walk the route. At 10 am, the Garden’s Perkins plaque will be re-dedicated. (The plaque is located on North Gateway Rock, at the south end of the Central Garden Trail, next to Signature Rock.) Participants will be invited to sign a ‘new’ proclamation, celebrating the gift of the Garden – “from the past to the present for the future!”
