- No refunds are issued for weather closures
- All other DPR swimming pool rules remain in place
Pool Closures
Denver's outdoor pools may close periodically for short periods of time due to several reasons, including:
- Inclement weather: low air temperature (below 64 degrees), low water temperature (below 78 degrees), or high wind causing poor visibility of the bottom of the pool
- Electrical storms (lightning & thunder): the pool will close for a minimum of 20 min until the area is clear. Since weather in Colorado is unpredictable, these closures can be frequent and sometimes result in the closure of the pool for the day
- Pump room/Mechanical issues: depending on the situation we will reopen as soon as we can for patrons
- Accidental solid or diarrheal fecal matter incident: these closures range from 1 hour to 24 hours depending on the severity
