Conifer Peace Park

Conifer Peace Park

Amidst aspens in full glory, a inaugural celebration of the Conifer Rotary Peace Park took place on Sunday, September 25, 2022 at the Aspen Park Community Center.

The Conifer Peace Park is a place to reflect on peace and to hold events dedicated to peacebuilding.  

The park’s central Conifer location, in a lovely grove of aspen trees behind the Aspen Park Community Center (APCC), was made possible by the Aspen Park Home Improvement Association.  The park also received generous support from Rotary Club International District 5450, Rotary Club of Conifer, Peacebuilding Club members, and the Conifer community, which contributed funding, skill and sweat for the park.

This park takes its place among over a hundred peace parks worldwide. Rotary International established its first peace park in 1932 at the U.S.-Canadian border.  

One feature of the park is a boulder with an inscription of the Rotary Four-Way test, which embodies principles of peacebuilding. "Of the things we think, say or do: 

  • Is it the TRUTH? 

  • Is it FAIR to all concerned? 

  • Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 

  • Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?”
