Thanks to Denver voters and the recently approved Vibrant Denver Bond, funding has been identified to completely replace the outdoor pool. This will provide the community with a more enjoyable and reliable outdoor pool experience for years to come.

As of Summer 2026:

During routine pre-season maintenance, Denver Parks and Recreation staff discovered significant structural issues causing the Aztlan Outdoor Pool to lose more than 16,000 gallons of water each day. After a thorough evaluation, it became clear that the pool cannot be safely operated in its current condition.

We understand this news will be disappointing for the many families, children, and residents across Northwest Denver who rely on the pool each summer. For generations, the Aztlan Outdoor Pool has been more than a place to cool off, it has been a gathering place where children learn to swim, families spend time together, and neighbors build community.



Funding has already been identified through the voter-approved Vibrant Denver Bond to fully replace the outdoor pool. This investment will deliver a modern, reliable aquatic facility that can serve the community for decades to come. Denver Parks and Recreation is actively exploring opportunities to accelerate the project timeline and move construction forward as quickly as possible.

While the replacement project is underway, nearby public pools, including Ashland and Berkeley Pool, will remain open throughout the summer. The community will continue to receive updates as information becomes available regarding the project timeline and next steps.

Since opening in 1982, the Aztlan Outdoor Pool has served generations of Northwest Denver families. We are grateful for the community's patience and partnership as we work to deliver a new facility that meets the needs of the neighborhood for years to come.
