Ice Palace Park
You will be starting your walk at the Ice
Palace Park in the 100 block of West 10th were ample
parking is available.
Opening on January 3, 1896, the world’s largest
palace of ice was built in Leadville. It contained a skating rink,
grand ballroom, restaurant and exhibition halls. It lasted only
a few short months, closing in May of 1896. This park commemorates
the famed Ice Palace which was built just a few blocks away. The
large lake you see in the distance to the northwest is Turquoise
Lake--another beautiful place to take a walk.
