Chipeta Elementary School students broke ground Friday evening on the new Chipeta Community Park funded by a $550k grant from Colorado Health Foundation and additional local contributions—the summer project will add a turf field, playground equipment, a basketball court, a Blue River Path, murals, and a time capsule that will be unearthed in 20 years.
