Columbine West Pool
7046 S. Webster Street, Littleton, CO 80128
Under Construction
Despite our intention and best efforts, Columbine West Outdoor Pool did not open for the 2023 summer swim season. The unanticipated construction delays were predominately due to the significant and extreme weather conditions we have experienced since the project began, including abnormal colder temperatures and snowfall, and unbelievably frequent, heavy rainstorms. These weather delays were paired with permitting issues early in the project and the discovery of a major storm sewer that had to be repaired and relocated by Jefferson County. All of these factors have greatly impacted the construction timeline.
We know this was disappointing to the Columbine West community, but we are excited to unveil new amenities to the facility when we reopen for the 2024 summer season and are confident that the community will enjoy the improvements for decades into the future. To learn more about the improvements and new amenities, and to view conceptual plans and design renderings, visit our Improvement Projects page.
6th Avenue West Pool
400 Holman Way, Golden, CO 80401
Under Construction
Despite our intention and best efforts, the 6th Avenue West Outdoor Pool did not open for the 2023 summer swim season. The unanticipated delays to the construction project were due to significant, previously unknown site and infrastructure conditions discovered during construction, weather delays and permitting issues. However, we are excited to bring new amenities to the facility when we reopen for the 2024 summer season and are confident that the community will enjoy the improvements for decades into the future. To learn more about improvements and new amenities at 6th Avenue West Outdoor Pool, and to view conceptual plans and design renderings, visit our Improvement Projects page.
