Pillar of the Community (Handwritten Story)

Anderson Pool is a pillar of the Wheat Ridge community. Many outdoor pools are closing in the Denver area so it makes it all the more important to allow kids and families to establish crucial developmental skills of swimming, water safety, and an inexpensive location to gather as our community enjoys time together. Please be sure to develop the pool depth for maximum usage of water area for toddlers to teens and up. Outdoor lap swimming is becoming extinct and it is so very crucial to appeal to ALL ages of our community. Anderson has been a part of our family's life since before my kids were even born (who are now adults). The fact that Anderson includes a pool and a glorious park right at the same location is PRICELESS! We love Anderson pool!
