The school is just east of downtown, at the corners of Pikes Peak and Institute. Been there a LONG time. Very near Memorial Park and downtown. I consider it a desirable location in many respects, the park being one of the best features. Lots of smaller older homes with mature trees. I'm looking at aerial pix of the school right now on mapquest.
If you go to mapquest and zero in on the school, you can hold down the mouse button and drag it up & left, bringing Memorial Park into view, it's quite impressive. Here is the list of amenities:
Memorial Park, 1605 E. Pikes Peak Ave. (E. Pikes Peak and Hancock Aves.). Aquatics and Fitness Center (indoor pool), fitness room, social/play room; swimming lessons. (Best access off S. Union Blvd. just south of E. Pikes Peak Ave.)
