Talk:Ruxton Park

Ruxton Glen and Ruxton Avenue vs. Ruxton Park

This version of the article had information about hotels, casino, a trolley, etc. that was supposedly part or near Ruxton Park - but the cited sources did not mention "Ruxton Park" at all. It's really about Ruxton Avenue, part of what was historically called Ruxton Glen.

There appears to be a distinction between Ruxton Glen and Ruxton Park:

• Ruxton Park (9,078 feet elevation) was a specific town, now "park", at the source of Ruxton Creek and Sheep Creek. This is three miles uphill from Ruxton Avenue in Manitou Springs, which was previously Iron Springs.
• Ruxton Glen is generally used to mean the area around Ruxton Avenue (6,570 feet elevation), which runs along the lower Ruxton Creek. This area had a number of hotels, casino, and several mineral springs. It also sometimes includes the area along Ruxton Creek up to the defunct town of Ruxton Park (i.e., the broadest definition of Ruxton Glen includes Ruxton Park)

This was further complicated by applying the information about the trolley than run up Ruxton Avenue in Iron Springs/Manitou Springs to the article about Ruxton Park. When I google "Ruxton Park" and trolley, all I was able to get was snapshots/copies of this version of the Wikipedia Ruxton Park article.

So, I removed the information about activities along Ruxton Avenue, since it is not applicable to Ruxton Park and is not found in any reliable, secondary sources that I researched.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:35, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
