A place for love, memories and connection: the Wind Phone at Nancy Lewis Park
What if you could pick up a telephone and speak to someone you love who has passed away?
At Nancy Lewis Park in Colorado Springs, there is now a special place where you can do just that.
Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care recently sponsored a Wind Phone, a unique and meaningful addition to the park that offers people experiencing loss a quiet place to pause, remember and speak from the heart.
What Is a Wind Phone?
A Wind Phone is an old-fashioned, disconnected telephone placed in a peaceful outdoor setting. Visitors can pick up the receiver and imagine speaking with someone they have lost — sharing a thought, a memory, a question, a goodbye or simply saying, “I miss you.”
The concept originated in Japan and has since become a source of comfort for people experiencing loss around the world.
The Wind Phone at Nancy Lewis Park provides a quiet setting beside the park’s water feature, offering a sense of privacy while remaining connected to the beauty and activity of the surrounding park.
A Place Where Grief and Love Can Coexist
For Pikes Peak Hospice, the Wind Phone reflects something we see every day in our work with patients and families: grief and love are deeply connected.
Losing someone we love doesn’t mean that our relationship with that person disappears. Memories remain. Stories remain. Love remains.
The Wind Phone offers a simple way to acknowledge that continuing connection.
And importantly, the Wind Phone is available to anyone experiencing loss, regardless of whether their loved one received hospice care.
A Meaningful Community Partnership
The Wind Phone was dedicated during a celebration of Nancy Lewis Park’s 30th anniversary, recognizing both the park’s history and the longstanding partnership between Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care and Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services.
We are grateful to The Gazette for sharing the story of the Wind Phone and helping introduce this meaningful resource to the community. We are equally grateful to Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services for its partnership and for helping make this special place of remembrance possible.
We hope the Wind Phone at Nancy Lewis Park becomes a place where people can take a breath, remember someone they love and find a little comfort.
Because sometimes, there are things we still want to say.
And sometimes, simply having a quiet place to say them can mean a lot.
