In 1878 showman P. T. Barnum purchased a tract of land on the western edge of Denver.  Keeping with the P. T. Barnum Circus theme the swimming pool’s makeover revamped the facility to create a more inviting colorful and fun-filled amenity for Denver families.

​

Two new splash pad areas were constructed with age appropriate play elements.   The toddlers splash pad included water jellies, aqua dome, water bugs and foaming geysers.

The 5-12-year-old splash pad interactive play featured choreographed dancing water streams, zebra, lion and elephant cannons along with tipping buckets and sprays.  Other improvements included the addition of a waterslide and a new pool deck to the existing lap pool and picnic areas with shade structures.
