The Lincoln Park Metropolitan District (LPMD) contracts with consultants to perform a wide range of services for our community. This year we contracted with Front Range Recreation (FRR) to manage the Lincoln Park “north” pool. We are exceedingly pleased with the high level of professionalism and attention to details they have demonstrated at the pool this summer.

Residents have enjoyed a fun and safe summer with many additional amenities including the return of the snack shack, volleyball, badminton and spike ball sports, premium pool noodles, a refrigerator to keep foods and drinks cold and of course the ever popular family movie nights.

FRR has found a significant water leak in the pool. Approximately 10,000-15,000 gallons of water is being lost daily and they do not know where the water is going. Stonegate Village Metropolitan District (SVMD) is the water provider for LPMD and they are concerned with the significant water loss and asked that the leak be identified and repaired as soon as possible.

FRR hired American Leak Detection to locate the possible areas of concern. They used two tests and concluded the leak is most likely located in a return fitting on the west wall. It is impossible to determine the exact location with the pool full of water. SVMD has estimated a loss of water this year to be 500,000 gallons and FRR has conservatively estimated that if the leak is not repaired there will be an additional 500,000 gallons of water lost before the scheduled end of pool season.

FRR estimates the repair to take one to three weeks - this is ONLY a guess as the leak has not completely been identified. In order to complete the repair and stop the leak the pool must be drained below the return fittings (“water jets”).

The “north” pool, located at 9540 Stonegate Parkway, Parker, CO 80134, will be closed on 8/13/18 and will remain closed until the needed emergency repairs can be made. This closure corresponds with the start of school and hopefully will create the least amount of disruption for our residents. As always LPMD residents are welcome to utilize SVMD pool facilities.
