During the heat of summer, head for The Splash, where you’ll find water slides, sand, an activity pool, fountains, and more. Lawn chairs provided and concession stand available.
The indoor pools at the Golden Community Center are open year-round. The Leisure Pool is especially popular for the younger set. All ages love the big enclosed slide. Swim lessons and classes are also offered. Drop-in fee applies. 303-384-8100.
The Golden Community Center offers many classes for tykes and teens, such as drawing, music, ceramics, dance, computer, sports, babysitting and first aid courses, and yoga. Child-care is also available (for a fee) for children ages six months to seven years for people using the facility.
At times when the flow in Clear Creek is low, some people wade and swim there. This is done strictly at their own risk, as Clear Creek is a natural feature and no lifeguards are present!
