NEW ACCESS OPEN TO DOUBLE ANGEL BALLPARK

On September 15th Chambers Road opened up off of Lincoln Avenue, giving better access to the ballpark from the west and the north. Take Lincoln Avenue east from I-25 heading to Parker. Pass the old W. Parker Road that's been closed. Just before Stonegate (the big housing development), turn right at the light on Chambers. Chambers deadends at E. Mainstreet (you can see the ballpark lights ahead of you). Turn left on Mainstreet and right at the next road, Newlin Gulch Blvd. Then turn right just past the electrical towers on the next unmarked road and follow it around the bend and past the tree farm to the park on your right.

The idea to create a place for more youth to play the game of baseball, such a part of their familiy's life, was a way to channel the grief for Ken and Bambi Dixey, of Parker, Colorado, who tragically lost their sons while on vacation. Thus, Double Angel Foundation was born. The community rallied around the cause and opened their hearts, wallets and resources to build this incredible ballpark to be enjoyed for generations to come. The June 3, 2006 opening of the Double Angel Ballpark is proof positive that good can come from loss, and it also shows what can be done when people team up for a common goal.

The building of the ballpark and this is just the first two of a planned four field state-of-the-art complex, became a labor of love for not just the Foundation, but for the Parker area, Denver and beyond. About 1500 volutneers and supporters, representing families, businesses and organizations, along with the Dixey family, all generously contributed to the baseball complex. The land has been leased form the Parker Water and Sanitation District. The 2 completed artificial turf baseball frields are for age 13 and up baseball. Local baseball teams, as well as those coming from throughout the western states, have played at the park. More than 700 games and activities are being played in 2007.

The Foundation has also worked diligently on increasing awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide in the boating industry, and recalls to faulty designs and CO free generators have been developed. While progress is being made, people are still being overcome by carbon monoxide on boats each year, including the first death on Lake Powell in 5 years occuring the summer of 2007.

Support to continue our cause, and to maintain and complete the ballpark, is still needed. More information about the Foundation or the ballpark can be found at www.doubleangel.org or at 303-841-2420.

Our Mission

A child’s dream soon becomes our future. Nurturing these dreams, however great or small, is the key to building a world where achievement knows no limits. The Double Angel Foundation is dedicated to guiding children in the fulfillment of their dreams through the joy of recreation and the love of “The Game".

It is our vision to construct and maintain a baseball complex to serve our expanding community, where youth can share team spirit and a full sense of accomplishment. Our purpose is to enhance self-esteem, while fostering good sportsmanship, leadership and citizenship through team play. In addition, our intention is to develop special needs programs and offer scholarship opportunities. At the forefront of our efforts will be the need to provide ongoing awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.
