Windsor Park [Bid]

On behalf of the Windsor Park Simlympics Committee, the city of Windsor Park is proud to present the 2007 Winter Simlympics Bid for Windsor Park.

Our fair metropolis, diverse in both culture, race, and religion, boasts approximately 644,102 residents in the city proper, and many more in the outlying areas near the city.

In preparation of the upcoming bid, and to better prepare the city for the next century, a 1-cent sales tax intended for entertainment and infrastructure hs been implemented. This tax already has helped to build a new arena, renovate and retrofit all area stadiums, and even help to contruct new subterranean rail lines to most locations for the bid.

Windsor Park is home to many great tourism and sporting areas, stout in history both triumphant and tragic. We hope to share this with all visitors during their stay here.



Along the majestic Bandworth River, the Boardwalk, dedicated in 1807, is a truely beautiful site. Measuring nearly 7 miles in length, this scenic destination is perfect for jogging in the morning, picnics with the family for lunch, picture opportunities in the evening, or even a late night stroll in the dark.



Originally intended as a low income housing sector when it was constructed, this area is now known as a shopping mecca by all. Home to many high dollar shops, such as Apple, Gucci, and Rolex to name a few, its evolved from an abandoned housing development to the most iconic areas of our city. However, the area still houses many people, and heralds itself with having on of the largest gay populations in the city.

This has lead to a true sense of pride among the businesses themselves, and the area now hosts many top name electronics and clothing stores, 5 star resturants, and some of the most exciting night clubs around.



For those of the religous view, Windsor Abby is the grand choice for those looking for prayer. Built in 1821, this massive Gothic cathedral is home not only to those of the Christian belief, but many other religions. Mandated as a step towards religous acceptance by the City Council in 1999, the church now allows all religions to use its space.



Green seekers can rejoice in the fresh and and plentiful renewable energies used in the Riverside Industrial District. Home to the Riverside Industrial Museum, this area, once known by many as an ecological nightmare, is now known as one of the cleanest industrial points in the nation.



As many people know, most cities just aren't complete with a clock tower in its possesion. Windsor Park is one of them.

Built in 1885 by textile tycoon Byron Ruewill, the Ruewill Bridge Toweris a shining example of the grace, beauty, and history enstowed in the city.

Heralded as the largest body of water in the city, Moonlight Lakeis a truely beautiful site. This area is not only a wildlife reserve, but also an iconic part of the city itself, brining in an estimated 1 million tourists each year.

The name says it all. Known as the best greens by city officals, professional golfers, and CEOs alike, is large country club course is the est place for the golfing portion of the Winter Simlypics.



If there's one thing every citizen of Winsor Park loves, its swimming. So, when the city proposed this masive aquatics center in 1951, it won in the polls with a 99% part of the vote.

This sprawling complex, an ode to all things aquatic, is perfect for diving, swimming, synchronized swimming, and water polo.

However, none of this bid could be possil if there isn't any form of trasporation.

For those either fearful of flying, or unable do so, Windsor Park Union Station is the ideal choice for those coming in by train. With its grand architecture and lower number of passengers, its a pleasant expericence for anyone who uses it. Also lpanned for the winter season all area high schools have been invited to have their vocal music classes sing various holiday songs in its halls.
