Play it safe at South Suburban!

Thank you for being a loyal and supportive patron of South Suburban Parks and Recreation. We appreciate your patience and understanding during our closures due to COVID-19.

South Suburban wants you to play it safe! Several of our facilities are opening in accordance with the Safer at Home guidelines. Learn more at https://www.ssprd.org/Safe-Return

Cook Creek Pool

Whether you like to swim, splash, slide, dive, or lay out in the sun – you can do it all at the Cook Creek Pool.  Experience the thrill of a 25-foot water slide, get dumped on by a giant tipping bucket of water, practice your swan dive and flips from the diving board, or get in a few laps. The zero-depth entry pool offers a perfect way to cool off, or wade into the water with young children.

And if you just want to relax, there are plenty of places to set up a chair and just enjoy a beautiful Colorado day.
