Congress Park Neighbors, Inc Posted on by

1. ) Why is the policy being revised?
The purpose of the revisions is to eliminate inconsistencies that exist throughout the current policy; align the policy with changes to state liquor laws; and add a variety of restrictions and requirements.
This uniformity will improve regulation and enforcement.
2. ) What does it mean to “permit” a park for an event?
Denver Parks & Recreation (DPR) issues a variety of permits to reserve all or a portion of a park for various activities. These include public events, races and walks, picnics, assemblies, athletics, etc. Each permit type has restrictions and requirements depending on location and the associated activity. To obtain a permit, an application must be submitted to the DPR Permitting Office that ensures all requirements have been met. Details of the process along with restrictions and requirements can be found at denvergov.org/permits.

Congress Park Pool is one of Denver’s oldest outdoor pools. Built in 1955, it’s one of the city’s most costly pools to maintain and after 63 years, major leaks now require significant repairs. As a result, DPR plans to open Congress Park Pool in late June to complete extensive repairs.

DPR recognizes the value Congress Park Pool provides to the community as well as the voters in Denver who helped secure the 2017 General Obligation Bond, which allots $8.3M to reconstructing this pool (with design starting this summer). They apologize for any inconvenience this unexpected delay may cause, and thanks pool users and the general public for their patience as we work on repairing the pool.
