Chimborazo ain’t what it used to be
Henry Boschen Jr., a Chesterfield resident that grew up on the hill, had a letter published in today’s RTD expressing his dismay at the condition of the park that he remembers so fondly from his childhood:
A recent visit to Chimborazo Park left me astonished that the Old Weather Station is still being used as a visitor’s center. The park is a disgrace. The streets are in disrepair and apparently are never cleaned. The hillsides appear not to have been cut in 30-40 years. I suppose the old playground and Horseshoe Bend curve are still there but because of the undergrowth, I couldn’t tell. There once was a horizontal walkway going down the hill, but I couldn’t see if it was there or not. The steps going to the bottom were overgrown with vines, etc. and impassable and the spring is in accessible.

comparing parks
Looking at Chimborazo, Libby Hill, and Jefferson Parks from above (via Flash Earth), it becomes apparent just how large Chimborazo really is…
