YMCA Opening Outdoor Pools Friday, June 26: Wilson Ranch And Monument Valley Pools Will Be Open To The Public -06/22/20

Colorado Springs, CO — The YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region is excited to announce that select outdoor pools will be opening on Friday, June 26. 

The Wilson Ranch Pool and Monument Valley Pool will be open for lap swim and public open swim. Capacities will be limited. The public will be allowed entry on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will be offering 1.5-hour time blocks for swimming, and the pools will be cleared and cleaned in between each time block.

Please visit ppymca.org/outdoorpools to view hours, frequently asked questions and more.

The Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, in partnership with the YMCA, will continue to keep both Portal Pool and the Prospect Lake Beach operations closed for the remainder of the 2020 season. 

In the case of Portal Pool, structural issues have resulted in excessive water loss that may be worsening its condition. Throughout the remainder of this year, additional analysis will be conducted to inform potential solutions. 

Regarding the Prospect Lake Beach operation, the ongoing remodeling of the Beach House prohibits safe access to the beach. Anticipated completion of the project is the end of July with programming beginning this fall. The lake is currently closed until further notice due to the return of blue-green algae. 

The Parks Department and the Y greatly appreciate the community’s continued patience and support as we bring summer activities back to both residents and visitors alike!
