Life on the lake Cool off this summer at one of the Front Range's great swimming holes

Prospect Lake

This 58-acre lake is part of 194-acre Memorial Park in Colorado Springs. In a convenient location, it is just east of downtown with beautiful Pikes Peak in the background. The Family Center YMCA is built next door with many options for recreation. The city-center park is a great spot for families to gather and enjoy the outdoors.

This lake is currently closed due to blue-green algae.

For more information, see coloradosprings.gov under Community Parks then Memorial Park.

Aurora Reservoir

The reservoir, with 800 acres of surface area, is located in the southeastern corner of Aurora. It provides drinking water to the city and also serves as a versatile recreation area. A unique SCUBA beach is reserved for diving on the northeastern edge and is a place for open-water certifications. A small airplane was deliberately sunk to become a diving attraction. Find more information at www.auroragov.org/things_to_do/reservoirs.

Cherry Creek Reservoir

Just southeast of downtown Denver is the Cherry Creek State Park. The 880-acre surface area of water is a beautiful setting for recreation. The park is set in a natural prairie with rolling hills and affords many ways to enjoy it. Camping, water sports, trails and outdoor facilities are popular in this convenient spot. See cpw.state.co.us for more information.

Bear Creek Lake Park

In Lakewood, Bear Creek Lake Park sits on 2,624 acres of space provided for outdoor leisure. The park includes three lakes: Bear Creek Lake (110 acres of surface area) is open to motorized boating. Big Soda Lake is similar in size and limited to non-motorized boats. Little Soda Lake is only open to Water Ski School’s private boats. The park sits against the mountains and close to the Red Rocks amphitheater. Find out details at lakewood.org.

Chatfield Reservoir

Chatfield State Park straddles Douglas County and Jefferson County and is settled near the base of the Front Range mountains.

In the park, Chatfield Reservoir offers 1,423 acres of surface water.

This beautiful, man-made lake offers a huge variety of outdoor recreation! Among the less unique activities provided at Chatfield are hot air ballooning and model air plane flying in a specialized field. See cpw.state.co.us for more information.

Bingham Lake

This beautiful neighborhood lake is a convenient spot to fish or enjoy the view around the lake trail. Bingham Lake is a 30-acre lake in the Pinery subdivision in Parker. Bingham Lake is privately owned by the Pinery Water & Wastewater District. This allows for fishing on the lake without the need for a fishing license. There is also a playground in the neighboring greenspace. See www. pinery.org/bingham-lake for more information.

#1 Early 1900’s - Parker Band musicians

With the upcoming Fourth of July celebration, we wanted to take a look back at some of the celebrations in the Denver and Aurora area throughout history. In decades and centuries past, people celebrated with many of the same activities as today. Parades, fireworks, live music, family gatherings, and picnics were typical. Take a walk back in time through these priceless photographs…

#2 1911 - Denver Parade - Men in military uniforms on horseback in a parade on 17th (Seventeenth) Street in downtown Denver, Colorado #3 Early 1950s - Aurora Parade Aurora High School band as it salutes Governor Thornton in his car leading the parade. #4 Around late 1800’s - Parade celebration in old Chinatown (somewhere between 15th and 20th streets). #5 Early 1900s - Picnic at Denver Park. Outdoor portrait of men, women, boys, girls and a baby in a carriage in a park, Denver, Colorado; costume includes large hats and applique.

United States flags adorn a stroller. #6 Early 1900s - Men sit in a horse-drawn carriage during a parade in Denver, Colorado. They hold U.S. flags. Spectators stand by houses near the street.

AT HOME

Bright and bold, your swimsuit should allow you to soak up the sun while feeling great!

The classy hat blends style with function. Go-to flip flops are conveniently lightweight and compact; keep an extra pair around for last-minute outdoor plans. This catch-all bag is made of durable, natural fibers that are reminiscent of the beach.

This casual combo is a warm weather favorite. Fresh, white fabric looks beautiful and feels cool in the heat. Comfy shorts and coordinating sneakers provide function and style. Go from relaxing in the yard to a neighborhood BBQ.

OUT & ABOUT

DATE NIGHT

This ladies’ cut shirt has a feminine fit and offers the height of comfort. Flirty and fun, the skirt is a nice in-between look – not too formal, but a little dressed up. The neutral wedges dress up a skirt or pants while keeping your feet cool. When you’re on the go, the crossbody purse is the perfect size to keep the essentials close. Think shopping or going out to lunch.

The sundress is a classic summer beauty with a lovely look and feel. The denim jacket is a nice addition to take the chill off when evening sets in. Sturdy sandals top off the ensemble, suited for walking downtown streets. An excellent combo to keep the romance alive!
