Double Angel Ballpark

Double Angel Ballpark is a memorial to the two sons of Dr. Dixey here in Parker, Colorado.

For Double Angel Tournaments or Field Reservations call Tony Collins at 303-980-6463. There are two full sized artificial turf fields with concessions at the facility.The Park and Facilities were built through donations to the Double Angel Foundation. From what I have been told there are two more fields that will be built on the location. Looks like a great place to spend the afternoon watching or playing baseball. Go check it out.

Frozen Pipes in Parker Colorado - Home Inspection

10-24-09
Steven Beam
This is what happens when the bank doesn't winterize a REO bank owned property before winter. We went for our home inspection this morning, turned on the water and received gallons and gallons of water pouring from this busted meter and pipe. Lots of fun and just what you want to see with a buyer about to buy the home.

Big Fish in Small Section of the River! Yep that's me!

Sorry I know this isn't much about Parker, Colorado real estate but I had a blast fishing so I thought I would share.

These hogs were caught on the North Fork of the Platte River in Colorado near Bailey Colorado. Enjoy the photos because I can sure say I enjoyed catching them and yes we put them all back to catch again next time. I can tell you I have three drugs of choice. 1. Skiing 2. Catching BIG fish on a small fly rod. 3. Mountain Biking.

Enjoy! This is only two of the 30-40 each we caught.

If you want to catch fish like this call me and I'll turn you on to the spot. Steven Beam 303-941-4663
