FREE ARTLINE LAUNCH BLOCK PARTY 5-8 P.M., FRIDAY, JUNE 1 CELEBRATE THE OFFICIAL KICKOFF OF THE ARTLINE IN CONJUNCTION WITH INSPIRE ARTS WEEK AND THE 40 WEST ARTS DISTRICTWIDE ART WALK! In June, years of community visioning and planning by hundreds of individuals will come to fruition with the opening of the 40 West ArtLine. This 4-mile walking and biking route, identified by a literal green path painted on the ground akin to Boston’s red Freedom Trail, runs through the heart of the 40 West Arts state-certified creative district and helps solidify Lakewood as a creative destination, drawing visitors from the metro area and beyond.

The ArtLine was made possible thanks to a prestigious grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Lakewood was awarded the highest possible level of funding through the Our Town grant, which aims to support creative placemaking projects that help transform communities into lively, beautiful and resilient places with the arts at their core.

When completed, the ArtLine will connect the three major parks in northeast Lakewood – Aviation, Walker-Branch and Mountair – and other destinations in the 40 West Arts District through a variety of interactive experiences, local art and opportunities for residents to play and connect with their community. Accessible by RTD’s W Line light rail service, the project brings inspiration and beauty to existing parks and urban spaces in the area, while creating new opportunities for outdoor recreation and activities for residents in northeast Lakewood through a free, immersive outdoor gallery experience.

A child helps paint a hopscotch designed by local artist James Overstreet during the 40 West ArtLine pilot project in October 2017.

For more information including opportunities to help paint ground murals and participate in other celebrations throughout the summer, visit 40WestArtLine.org or follow the project at Facebook.com/40WestArtLine.

Lakewood Looks Back: Fox Hollow Golf Course The most recent acquisition to the museum collection at Lakewood Heritage Center is a medium-sized stone disk with an engraving of a fox on it. To the unknowing eye, it looks like a stepping stone, or perhaps part of a trail marker. Local golfers, however, would recognized it immediately as the original signage from Lakewood’s Fox Hollow Golf Course, celebrating its 25th year in operation this summer. As part of the festivities, Fox Hollow recently completed a brand refresh, which included a new logo, and thus, new signage. Although the branding is fresh and new, Fox Hollow is home to many long-term staffers, including PGA Pro Craig Parzybok and LPGA Assistant Pro Paula Bauer.

Fox Hollow is situated on Army Corps of Engineers land, which means there are no homes along the course. This provides golfers with a serene natural beauty that is all but unparalleled in the area. Every effort is made to retain the natural beauty of the course, from elevation changes and towering trees to ponds and picturesque streams full of wildlife. This focus on nature allows golfers to not only enjoy the physical activity of golf but also the stunning natural setting nestled against the rugged Front Range. Fox Hollow staff is committed to ensuring the natural habitats and wildlife along the course are protected, and for this exceptional dedication to conservation, the course has been a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary since 1995.

When asked about their favorite features of the course, players often mention the elevated tee boxes on The Canyon Nine, the panoramic views of The Links Nine, and a visit to Meadow #5 to see the oldest living cottonwood tree in Colorado, just in front of the green on the right side. The course has played home to thousands of events and fundraisers, including several years as host to The Elway Foundation’s annual tournament. With such a colorful and exciting past, there is nothing but blue skies ahead for Fox Hollow and the golfers who call it home.

Congratulations to Fox Hollow on its fantastic 25 years, and to Superintendent Mark Krick, who was this year’s Rocky Mountain CGSA chapter winner of the Environmental Leaders in Golf Award. To stay up to date with everything happening at Fox Hollow, visit Facebook.com/GolfFoxHollow.
