In
2008, seven years after Ulaanbaatar was named Denver”s 10th sister city, the
City of Ulaanbaatar Park was opened to the people at East Fifth Avenue and
Roslyn Street at Lowry. The park cost USD2 million and has a sculpture
representing Ulaanbaatar made by a Mongolian living in Denver. A Denver
official is now here to discuss plans to celebrate the 10th
anniversary next year of the sisterhood. He has proposed an exchange of middle
school students and has also offered help to increase the water flow in the
Selbe River, based on their experience with a river in Denver. Deputy Mayor B.Baatarzorigt
has gladly accepted the offer.
Denver
in Colorado is one of the 60 sister cities of Ulaanbaatar. A street on the
south of the US Embassy is called Denver Street.
