Burns Park in Denver is located in a triangle between South Colorado Boulevard, East Alameda Avenue and Leetsdale Drive. (Cyrus McCrimmon, The Denver Post)
Re: “Don’t mess with Denver parks,” Feb. 22 Joanne Ditmer column.
In 1969, George Washington High School’s yearbook staff thought Burns Park was significant in the lives of GW students, making the decision to feature some sculptures in the park in dramatic color photographs in the introductory pages.
If teenaged citizens can perceive the inspiration of such a park in otherwise fairly nondescript surroundings in 1969, surely more mature citizens in 2015 can grasp reasons to keep what Joanne Ditmer calls “visual solace.”
