After a wait of 7 years since Ulan Bator was named Denver's 10th sister city, officials dedicated the City of Ulaanbaatar Park at East Fifth Avenue and Roslyn Street at Lowry. (Because of differences in translation, Ulan Bator is spelled a number of different ways in English.)

Denver has a custom of naming parks after its sister cities. Denver's nine other sister cities are Brest, France; Takayama, Japan; Nairobi, Kenya; Karmiel, Israel; Potenza, Italy; Cuernavaca, Mexico; Chennai, India; Kunming, China; and Axum, Ethiopia.

For more information, go to www.denversistercities.org.

The park will not be complete, however, until the 15-foot Tulga sculpture by Mongolian artist Tsogo Mijid is installed. The tulga is the hearth that was the center of Mongolian houses during their nomadic past. According to Denver Sister Cities International, Denver has the largest Mongolian population of any city in the United States.
