The Golden Municipal Swimming Pool is a staple for summer in Golden. The pool is open daily from May long weekend to late August. With a great variety of programs, the pool has something for everyone.
The Golden Municipal Swimming Pool opened in the summer of 1978. It is a twenty-five metre (25m) six lane heated outdoor swimming pool, with depth ranging from 1.2m at the shallow end to 3.4m at the deep end. There is a wide set of stairs with hand rails at each corner of the pool to allow for easy access in and out of the water. The temperature is kept at 82 degrees Fahrenheit and is the perfect temperature to go for a dip; not too cold and not too hot. Just refreshing!
The pool also has plenty of deck space for sitting out in the sun. Looking to stay in the shade? Grab a spot at one of the picnic tables and watch the afternoon go by. Come practice your cannon balls off our one metre (1m) diving board during public swims.
The wading pool is adjacent to the swimming pool and is a great spot to get small children introduced to the water. The pool is 0.7m. deep and is six (6m) by two metres (2m). Wading pool is open during all public and lane swim times.
The staff are trained aquatic experts. Our goal is to make your visit as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. Just ask the guards, and they can pull out some of the many pool toys or point you in the right direction for a program that works for you.
