Let’s celebrate all things nature and winter at Fox Run!

Funds raised will support a new nature center in Fox Run Regional Park!

Just after Valentine’s Day, it’s the perfect romantic outing or a serene escape into nature’s splendor. Witness the falls transformed into a glittering cascade of ice—a rare chance to marvel at a frozen masterpiece.

Reservations are not required but are available and highly suggested, as spots will fill quickly, and you may have to wait for the next shuttle.

This unique event brings top polo players from across the country to Colorado Springs for an unforgettable day of fast-paced action. Unlike traditional polo played on grass fields, this exciting match takes place in a dirt arena, offering a distinctive and dynamic twist on the classic sport. Teams will consist of three players each, competing fiercely across four seven-minute chukkers, ensuring an adrenaline-fueled experience for all attendees.

With a blend of tradition and innovation, The Broadmoor Winter Polo Classic delivers a fresh take on one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious sports. Spectators can expect to witness incredible horsemanship, strategic teamwork, and high-speed play as the players and their mounts navigate the challenging arena terrain. Whether you're a longtime polo enthusiast or new to the game, this event offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the excitement of arena polo while enjoying the scenic backdrop of Colorado Springs. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this extraordinary sporting spectacle!
