THE TIMES CHANGE BUT OUR STORY REMAINS BOULDER'S STORY...
For more than 50 years, the Boulder Elks Pool & Patio has been a gathering place for Boulder families, athletes, organizations and community leaders. And for the Summer of 2023, we're going to be those things and so much more in what we feel will be a Summer like no other!
The entire Summer is going to be a party! We have new sounds, sights, tastes, events, places to relax and games to play.
It's not uncommon to see Grandparents cheering on their Grandkids at a Saturday morning swim meet in the very same pool they learned to swim in years earlier. Or share memories and stories over a plate of Friday night BBQ with neighbors old and new across Boulder. And we welcome all of you to be a part of the magic!
We know that a pool can do more than cool you off on a hot summer's day. We've seen ours build friendships, strengthen relationships, inspire personal greatness and foster kindness for decades. For the Summer of 2023, we're nurturing all of that and more.
Make the Boulder Elks Pool & Patio part of your families story this summer, and see how much better your memories can be. We promise to do our part in spreading the type of happy that only equal parts water, sunshine and laughter can create.
A SUMMER LIKE NO OTHER
The Summer of 2023 marks the 5th Anniversary for pool manager Rob Reynard and we've decided to celebrate... a lot.
More food. Extended hours. A full slate of special events. A better, more badass bar. A soundtrack you can't deny and new speakers across the pool deck. And the list of improvements and upgrades goes on.
We know you'll enjoy your Summer at the Boulder Elks Pool & Patio. We're gonna bet it's your most favorite ever.
