The arena, a 35,000 square foot multi-purpose facility, is the largest of its type on the Western Slope of Colorado. Dobson Arena is the site for the Vail Figure Skating Festival and the Vail Invitational Skating Championships.
Dobson Arena has also become a favorite stop on the training schedule for NHL teams like the St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks, New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils. Locally, Dobson Arena is home to the Vail Junior Hockey Club and Skating Club of Vail.
For the recreational skater, Dobson Arena hosts open skating sessions and lessons for all ages and abilities.

The American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA) describes horticultural therapy as a method that uses plants, gardening activities, and the natural world in professional therapy and rehabilitation programs.
Horticultural therapists act as advocates for access for people of all ages and abilities. They are adept at connecting communities with gardens and developing outreach programs, and at providing professional training and on-site therapeutic programs.
The horticultural therapy programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are designed to further a deep connection to nature with a landscape that will stimulate and strengthen mental, motional, and physical balance. The gardens support participants with activities both active and passive in nature.
The summer 2007 programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens served many diverse groups, including the Mountain Hospice volunteers, families facing medical adversity, and the Buddies (child/adult mentor) program. Spending time in the garden provides stress relief, one of the many benefits of horticultural therapy. The harvest program with the Buddies also provided participants with educational knowledge in nutrition, with the kids harvesting, washing, and preparing salads from the garden that they had planted earlier in the spring.

The American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA) describes horticultural therapy as a method that uses plants, gardening activities, and the natural world in professional therapy and rehabilitation programs.
Horticultural therapists act as advocates for access for people of all ages and abilities. They are adept at connecting communities with gardens and developing outreach programs, and at providing professional training and on-site therapeutic programs.
The horticultural therapy programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are designed to further a deep connection to nature with a landscape that will stimulate and strengthen mental, motional, and physical balance. The gardens support participants with activities both active and passive in nature.
The summer 2008 programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens served many diverse groups, including the Mountain Hospice volunteers, families facing medical adversity, and the Buddies (child/adult mentor) program. Spending time in the garden provides stress relief, one of the many benefits of horticultural therapy. The harvest program with the Buddies also provided participants with educational knowledge in nutrition, with the kids harvesting, washing, and preparing salads from the garden that they had planted earlier in the spring.

The Town of Eagle, a project of the Vail Valley Foundation, presents this down-home family night out , complete with fantastic free music, kids activities, picnics and more. The series runs Thursday evenings throughout the summer at the Eagle Town Park in downtown Eagle.
The 2007 series proved to be a hit among locals and visitors alike, as the park came alive each Thursday evening with great music, a sea of picnic blankets and all sorts of activities for the kids. Performance highlights included the Motown sound of Fredi & the Soulshakers, the country stylings of the Walker Williams Band and the infectious disco beat of Boogie Machine.
With a brand new stage, updated playground and new restroom facilities, the Eagle Town Park is the perfect location for this series. Plan ahead for 2008 and make sure you take advantage of the best picnicking opportunity of the summer: Thursdays at ShowDown Town.

The American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA) describes horticultural therapy as a method that uses plants, gardening activities, and the natural world in professional therapy and rehabilitation programs.
Horticultural therapists act as advocates for access for people of all ages and abilities. They are adept at connecting communities with gardens and developing outreach programs, and at providing professional training and on-site therapeutic programs.
The horticultural therapy programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are designed to further a deep connection to nature with a landscape that will stimulate and strengthen mental, motional, and physical balance. The gardens support participants with activities both active and passive in nature.
The summer 2008 programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens served many diverse groups, including the Mountain Hospice volunteers, families facing medical adversity, and the Buddies (child/adult mentor) program. Spending time in the garden provides stress relief, one of the many benefits of horticultural therapy. The harvest program with the Buddies also provided participants with educational knowledge in nutrition, with the kids harvesting, washing, and preparing salads from the garden that they had planted earlier in the spring.
