On Saturday, November 23, Apex Park and Recreation District invites the community to celebrate the grand opening of the state-of-the-art Arvada Aquatics Center. Designed and constructed in collaboration with Jeffco Public Schools, the City of Arvada, and the Apex Park and Recreation District, the AAC will be one of the largest natatoriums in Colorado, elevating the capacity for aquatic recreation and competition in the region.

The AAC is designed to meet the community’s diverse needs, from recreational swimming to competitive events. The facility includes:

  • A secondary 25-yard pool with warmer water is ideal for swim lessons, exercise and other general uses
  • A diving well equipped with three 1-meter springboards, three 3-meter springboards, and a 3-meter and 5-meter platform; the only facility of this caliber in the state outside of the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, making it a premier location for diving competitions
  • Spectator seating for over 800 and on-deck participant seating for over 600
  • Universal changing rooms and accessible locker areas to provide inclusive space for families and assure ADA accessibility for people with disabilities

Join us on Saturday, November 23, from 2-5 pm at the Arvada Aquatics Center, 7904 Carr Drive, Arvada, CO 80005, for the grand opening festivities.
