These Students Are a Slam Dunk! |

A group of University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus students meet once a week to play basketball at Moorhead Recreation Center. We're honored that this great group of students found a place to call home at one of our centers.

That's right -- our very own Jewell Wetlands is a great place to get out for a breath of fresh air.
With nature trails and 46.3 acres of open space, there's plenty to see. Don't forget to pack your binoculars for your visit!

The city of Aurora, in partnership with the country of El Salvador, the Consulate General of El Salvador and Salvadorenos Residiendo en Colorado (SARCO), have requested "Skills Area” (20101 E. Hampden Ave.) be named “El Salvador Park."
This special use park, built in 2006, is 10.2 acres and includes four soccer practice fields for local players and teams. Soccer is of great importance in El Salvador, which makes this site a perfect choice for the new name.
El Salvador has the third largest foreign-born demographic in Aurora and the city is home to the El Salvador Consulate, the first in Colorado outside of Denver.

Learn more about this proposal and share your feedback by participating in a brief survey through Thursday, June 30 at EngageAurora.org/SkillsArea.
Hasta el 30 de junio, visite EngageAurora.org/Parque para contestar una breve encuesta y brindar comentarios sobre la propuesta de nombrar a "Skills Area", un parque de 10.2 acres ya existente en Aurora construido en 2006, "El Salvador Park" para honrar la relaciĂłn internacional de Aurora con este paĂs.
