Mayor Mike Johnston, Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore and Denver Parks & Recreation (DPR) cut the ribbon on the new indoor pool at the Green Valley Ranch Recreation Center. This state-of-the-art community amenity was made possible by the support of the Elevate Denver Bond, approved by voters to improve public amenities across the city.
The event celebrated years of planning, community engagement, and collaboration. Designed with direct input from the Green Valley Ranch community, the new indoor pool features a variety of exciting and functional elements to meet the needs of swimmers of all ages.
"As population grows, it is essential that we grow our public services to meet the needs of those who call this community home," said Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. "This pool isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity for the families who live here and a celebration of the vibrant growth of this part of Denver."
The facility includes family changing rooms, large windows that bring in natural light, a small party room that doubles as a lifeguard training space and a thrilling water slide! The pool offers a lazy river, lap pool and a leisure pool with water features, enticing everyone of all skill levels to go for a swim.
"This pool is a testament to what happens when our community comes together," said Jolon Clark, DPR Executive Director. "We hope this will be an invaluable, year-round recreational amenity that will provide new classes, swim lessons, and an incredible place for fun and fitness for everyone. We're so excited to see it come to life."
