Ellie and Daisy’s Adventure Park LLC was approved by the Grand County Commissioners with a one year special use permit. The GCBOC will review the special use permit after the first year to consider the continuation of the operations. If there are no significant problems or issues the Adventure Park should be able to continue its business.
The park will consist of a Tubing Hill, Ice Skating Rink and Snow Scoots. The developer of the park is the same developer of Cozens Meadow Subdivision in Fraser. They want to provide more activities for the youth in the area and for all the visitors who come to the valley to ski Winter Park.
For several years there were snow scoots in the meadow between Winter Park and Fraser, but those went away a couple of years ago. That activity has been missed by many locals and visitors who come to our area. The new snow scoots will be more environmentally friendly with 4 stroke engines, which are more quite and less emissions into the atmosphere.
The new tubing hill in the Adventure Park will be installing “magic carpets” to move the riders up the hill, similar to what the Winter Park ski area uses in their beginner areas in Sorenson Park and Discovery Park. Those are a much safer way to transport the visitors.
On high-use days it is predicted that they will attract approximately 250 participants. The Adventure Park’s accommodations this winter will include a modular facility with bathrooms, with running water. Once the facility has had a successful year and gained their permanent permitting they will proceed with constructing the permanent facilities.
So don't forget when you make it up to Winter Park for a fabulous ski trip or just the weekend be sure to venture over to Fraser to check it out!
