A Summer of Momentum 🌊 Thank You, Southeast Metro!
Thank you for a
summer of support
Stronger Together
Reflecting on a Summer of Community Presence
To our incredible Douglas County and southeast metro Denver community, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you. This summer, our "Support Us" signs stood tall at swim meets, fundraisers, and pool decks stretching from as far north as VMAC and Lowry down through Southshore and Tallyn's Reach to Clarke Farms here in Parker. Because of your generosity and the warm welcome from summer leagues and competitive meets at Apex, VMAC, Clarke Farms, and beyond, our vision for a 50-meter competition pool is becoming a shared regional mission.
Special gratitude goes to Murdoch's and everyone who supported the Chaparral and Legend High School fundraisers. Together, we aren't just building a facility; we're building a legacy for southeast metro Denver athletes.

July Social Reach
While our digital reach is growing, the names on our supporter list carry the most weight with city and county decision-makers. Real community consensus is what will break ground on this project.
Foundation Updates
Ahead of our upcoming plans to meet with the City of Parker, we are thrilled to share that progress is continuing on our architectural concept plans with Powers Brown Architecture, who are developing these initial concepts in partnership with the Foundation. Special thanks to Bryant Mazzetti and the Powers Brown Architecture team for their continued partnership on these planning calls. You can learn more about their work at powersbrown.com. Every contribution helps us refine this vision for a world-class aquatic center that serves everyone in the southeast metro Denver area.

Complete the Survey Prioritize Aquatics in Parker's 2026 Plan
The Town of Parker is currently gathering input for its 2026 Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Master Plan, and this is one of the most direct ways our community can influence the outcome. The survey includes a question asking what's most important to you, with "Aquatics (pools, splashpads, swim lessons)" as one of the choices. Selecting it tells the Town, in the data they'll actually use for planning, that aquatics is a community priority.
This is Parker's official survey, not ours, so your honest feedback matters more than any specific answer we could suggest. But if a 50-meter competition pool and expanded aquatics access matter to you, this is your moment to say so.
