This page is for information on where we are in the process of creating the WW park
See what these play parks look like in other locations.
There are three potential sites, listed here by what is (in our opinion) the best option.....
1.) Down Valley Park (Applebaugh Park)
- the blueprint for a play park at Applebaugh (thanks Clay!)
- Article in the Telluride Watch on 3.28.08
- What was covered in the clubs meeting with the county commissioners on 3.26.08

2.) Winnebago Corner (RV corner, just below No means No rapid)
- we need to do more research on the possibilty of putting the play park here. Benefits of this site are;
-
correct gradient
-
existing bathroom/camping facilites
-
use and management would not be as complicated as the Applebaugh site
3.) Specie Creek boat ramp
- A possibility but our least desireable option since
-
its the farthest from Telluride
-
it is heavily used in the summer for commercial rafting trips
-
gradient of the river here is not optimal
