Columbia Cemetery voted best burial site

A recent survey of 3,100 respondents found that Columbia Cemetery in Boulder was favorite resting place.

Columbia Cemetery received more votes than Fairmount Cemetery in Denver and Evergreen Cemetery in Leadville to earn the top spot, noted by Choice Mutual life insurance agency for its “park-like peace,” historic markers and its backdrop of the Flatirons. It was rated No. 70 among burial grounds in the nation.

East Boulder Community Center to close from March 22 to 30

Boulder Parks and Recreation staffers plan to work on a variety of repairs at the South Boulder Recreation Center, and they’re switching the timing for weekly shutdowns for East Boulder Community Center and South Boulder Recreation Center to focus on the future repair work, according to a press release.

They plan to close the East Boulder Community Center from March 22 to 30. They plan to close the South Boulder Recreation Center in August. To minimize the impact of the East Boulder Community Center being closed, workers also plan to hold a city spring break camp to take place at the North Boulder Recreation Center and to move more gym and fitness programming to the South Boulder Recreation Center. The future fix-up at the South Boulder Recreation Center is expected to include work on the pool fans, the HVAC system, and other facility repairs, according to the release.

The Boulder Parks and Recreation department plans annual weekly shutdowns to do deep cleaning, handle short-term maintenance and install any new equipment planned for the year, according to the release.
