WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION
ProCal SV
For over 20 years, pool and spa operators have been locked into outdated chlorine delivery systems, forced to buy overpriced chemicals from a single supplier offering poor customer service and high maintenance costs. Those companies may even give away the feeders just to lock you into future chemical sales. Today, ProMinent Fluid Controls and Aquatic Chemical Solutions are REVOLUTIONIZING THE INDUSTRY.
Our Innovative Chlorine Delivery System Offers a Better Way:
• Use Any Granular Chlorine: Unlike traditional systems, the ProCal SV gives you the flexibility to purchase granular chlorine from ANY pool supply company—and in a “pinch”, even big-box stores like Walmart, Sam’s Club, or Costco. The ProCal SV can accept ANY BRAND of granular calcium hypochlorite, up to 78% available chlorine by weight.
• The ProCal SV has an adjustable feed rate that can accomodate any sized pool, from your smallest spa to your largest wave pool. ONE UNIT CAN TRULY DO IT ALL.
• Reliable Service from Us: While chlorine can be purchased from any supplier, our system and its support come exclusively from Aquatic Chemical Solutions, ensuring you receive the exceptional service you deserve.
• No Single Source Contracts: Say goodbye to being tied to one suplier. You have the POWER to choose where to buy your granular chlorine from while still maintaining all the benefits of calcium hypochlorite chlorination.
With Aquatic Chemical Solutions, you’re no longer stuck with expensive, high-maintenance systems or sub-par customer service. It’s time to experience the FREEDOM OF CHOICE and the confidence of working with a partner who puts you first.
•NO proprietary briquettes or tablets needed

•Works with any automated chemical controller
•Big performance with a small footprint

A Thriving Arts Community: How Castle Rock is Expanding Arts and Enrichment Through Collaboration
By Maia Yates, Special Project Analyst, Town of Castle Rock Parks and Recreation Department
In Castle Rock, the arts are flourishing like never before, thanks to a unique collaboration between the town and a local nonprofit organization. This partnership, centered around a recentlyacquired historic schoolhouse, is helping to fill a long-standing gap in arts and enrichment programming by providing an innovative space where creativity, connection, and personal expression can thrive, facilitating a meaningful way for residents to engage with the arts and each other.
The parks and recreation industry has a unique opportunity to serve as a bridge to arts and culture through programming. Whether in a small town like Castle Rock or a large metropolitan area, beyond fostering creativity, the arts can play a critical role in social connection and mental health. Creative expression offers a deeply personal avenue for self-discovery, providing individuals with a sense of purpose and confidence. Research from Americans for the Arts highlights that participation in the arts is linked to higher academic
achievement and reduced truancy among youth. Moreover, engaging in creative activities can help alleviate stress, combat loneliness, and promote well-being.
The demand for arts programming in Castle Rock has steadily grown in recent years. Between 2021 and 2022, more than 300 residents were waitlisted for arts and enrichment classes due to limited space. To address demand, the town took a bold step and acquired Cantril School, a historic schoolhouse,

The City of Arvada, Jeffco Public Schools, and Apex Park and Recreation District Celebrate the Grand Opening of the New Arvada Aquatics Center
By Hillary Roemersberger, Director of Recreation Services, CPRP, AFO, Apex Park and Recreation District
by The Unfound Door
The City of Arvada, in partnership with Jeffco Public Schools and Apex Park and Recreation District, has introduced the new Arvada Aquatics Center (AAC)—a transformative project that sets a new benchmark for community-centered aquatic design in Colorado.
Replacing the beloved Meyers Pool, the 50,000-square-foot AAC serves as a regional hub for recreation, instruction, fitness, and competition. Key amenities include a 50-meter Myrtha competition pool with adjustable bulkheads, a 25-yard auxiliary pool, a world-class diving well, equipped with three
1-meter springboards, three 3-meter springboards, and a 3-meter and 5-meter platform, and seating for over 800 spectators. Universal changing rooms and on-deck access reflect a strong commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
“The

“The completion of this state-of-the-art aquatics facility has been a once-ina-lifetime opportunity,” said City of Arvada project manager, Kim Vagher. “This project exemplifies the great work we can accomplish to improve access to high-quality competition and recreation amenities when we come together as partner organizations. Jeffco Public Schools and Apex Park and Recreation District have been critical in the success of the project and the investment in the quality of life for the Arvada community and swimmers and divers throughout the region.”
Designed by OLC and built by Saunders Construction, the project was a model of interagency collaboration and forward-thinking design. The AAC is on track for LEED Silver certification, featuring regenerative media filtration that reduces indoor water use by approximately 40%, high-efficiency HVAC and lighting systems, and native landscaping that cuts outdoor water use by 77%.
With its versatile programming space and advanced technology, the Arvada Aquatics Center supports everything from youth swim lessons to elite competitions, making it a cornerstone for health and wellness in the community. This facility exemplifies how thoughtful planning and crosssector partnerships can deliver longterm value, both environmentally and recreationally, to Colorado communities. The AAC FEATURES
LAKEWOOD CREATES An atmosphere of collaboration
By Allysen Santilli and Courtney Gehlhaus, City of Lakewood
Colorado’s reputation as a runner’s paradise is well-earned, and Lakewood exemplifies this with its vibrant running scene. From providing scenic trails at Bear Creek Lake Park to hosting the annual Trail Running Series and Colfax Marathon, the city fosters a strong community of runners and leverages those relationships to create fruitful partnerships.
When businesses and events come together with a shared passion, a thriving community is built where everyone wins whether you are running, supporting or simply enjoying the atmosphere.
RUN LOCAL
On Wednesdays in September, the annual Trail Running Series at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood offers a weeknight escape for local runners. The trails are flagged for participants to race in person versus running peers of all levels, and the only requirement is to finish by sundown! A virtual option is also offered for those who prefer to run individually or on other days and submit their times online. Runners from across the Denver metro area participate in the races, which are each chip-timed and vary by distance and route each week.
RUN COLFAX
While the Trail Running Series offers local flavor, Lakewood reaches beyond its borders to partner in hosting the Denver Colfax Marathon, the largest marathon weekend in the Rockies! Guiding runners along Colfax, America’s longest street, the race route winds through Lakewood passing the iconic Casa Bonita restaurant and offering a straight, four-mile path toward Mile-High Stadium. Lakewood’s recreation team leveraged this ideal running audience to
cross-promote the Trail Running Series with a flyer and discount offer in the Marathon’s virtual race bag distributed to 25,000 participants. In addition, Lakewood employees receive discounted entry fees for the marathon, and the city promotes local businesses and events relevant to the race participants through social media and e-newsletters. The opportunities are mutually beneficial for the marathon, city and community.
RUN PARTNERS
Events rely on partners big and small, regional and local, and the Lakewood Trail Running Series is no exception. Runner’s Roost and Green Mountain Beer Company are long-standing partners for the series and are rooted in a shared passion for running. They support the event and runners throughout the year.
Located just steps from the Lakewood Civic Center, Runners Roost is a nationally recognized running store known for its dedication to its community, staff and innovation. The store offers a free run club on Thursdays and product discounts for Lakewood employees.
With proximity to the Bear Creek Greenbelt trails, Green Mountain Beer Company has become a popular destination for Lakewood runners. Members of their running club enjoy a three-mile run, socialize with new friends, and receive $1 off beer all night after returning to cool down and share post-run experiences.
In 2025, Lakewood will join our partners in celebrating 19 years of the Colfax Marathon and many years of collaboration between the city and local partners. When businesses and events come together with a shared passion, a thriving community is built where everyone wins whether you are running, supporting or simply enjoying the atmosphere.

Stronger, Safer, Smarter: The Future of Municipal Pools
Starts Here
When you think about local parks and community spaces, a sparkling pool can be an excellent addition. However, keeping these aquatic centers safe, functional, and beautiful takes expertise and dedication. For over 35 years, Mid-America Pool Renovation has been doing just that by turning tired, outdated aquatic facilities into vibrant, safe, and welcoming spots where families can gather, relax, and have fun.
Getting to Know Mid-America Pool Renovation
With a commitment to excellent craftsmanship, Mid-America Pool Renovation has earned a dependable reputation in the pool renovation industry. Their services extend to replastering, fully customizable coping and tile work, as well as deck resurfacing. Their expansive portfolio showcases hundreds of renovated aquatic facilities across the US,
including municipal pools, luxurious country clubs, and high-end resorts and hotels. Their proven quality and innovation has positioned them as leaders in the field.
A Long-Term Investment for Colorado Communities
Traditionally, many Colorado municipalities have used plaster type finishes for their pools, requiring resurfacing every five years to keep them
looking good and functioning well. This is largely due to Colorado’s freeze-thaw climate, which causes plaster finishes to expand and contract, creating stress that causes cracks and deterioration.
INTER-GLASS offers a compelling alternative. Backed with a 25 year warranty, INTER-GLASS seals and repairs cracks, reduces pool chemical usage and strengthens the pool shell. It is also more flexible than plaster finishes, allowing it to withstand natural
CASE STUDY: Revitalizing the City of Longmont’s Recreation Center Pool
A shining example of their expertise is the transformation of the City of Longmont, Colorado’s Recreation Center pool. The facility was facing a big challenge with an unidentified leak, resulting in substantial water loss. The city aimed to fix this issue, prevent future leaks, and upgrade the pool’s surface for long-term durability.
The Mid-America Pool Renovation team conducted a thorough assessment and pinpointed the leak within the surge pit. Recognizing the
need for a durable and lasting solution, they recommended resurfacing the pool with their proprietary INTER-GLASS® system. This reinforced polymeric system bonds seamlessly with the existing pool shell, creating a watertight and puncture-proof surface, unlike PVC membranes.
The intervention stopped the water loss while improving the pool’s overall integrity. Impressed by the outcome, the city chose to use the INTERGLASS system for additional pools in 2024.
expansion and contraction in free-thaw climates. It offers the same look and feel of traditional cementbased finishes but with enhanced longevity.
For parks and recreation departments, investing in INTER-GLASS means fewer maintenance cycles, budgeting allocations, and ensures that pools stay in top condition for longer.
Making a Splash in Your Community
Mid-America Pool Renovation’s dedication to quality, innovation, and community well-being makes them an ideal partner for municipalities looking to improve their aquatic facilities. Their proven track record and advanced solutions like INTER-GLASS ensure that pools look great while standing the test of time.
For parks and recreation managers and community leaders considering pool renovations, exploring Mid-America Pool Renovation’s variety of services could be the key to creating sustainable and beautiful aquatic spaces that serve residents for years to come.

and prepared for exhibition in a space sealed off from the ongoing construction.
Despite these challenges, the museum remained committed to bringing this exhibit to life. The museum partnered with local gallerists Abby Kreuser and Gundega Stevens of Auric Gallery to curate an exhibition that captures the depth and diversity of the Pikes Peak region’s cultural history. Through generous grant funding, every contemporary artist featured in the exhibit was compensated for her work. For many, this marks the first time their artwork has been acquired as part of a museum’s permanent collection, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
Why This Exhibit Matters
Museums shape history by determining which stories are preserved and whose voices are amplified. By placing historic and contemporary artists side by side, this exhibit invites visitors to reconsider the narratives that museums construct. Every artifact and artwork in this collection carries a story – a reflection of time and creative expression.
This gallery is dedicated to all women artists—past, present, and future—who have shaped, and continue to shape, the cultural landscape of the Pikes Peak region. Because unless we collect, share, and celebrate the voices and art of women, we are missing 50% of the Story.

THE FUTURE OF PROGRAMMING TECH: HOW AI CAN MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER TECH4REC
By Jessica Hawkins, Day Camp and Preschool Director CPRP, Town of Parker
Technology evolves fast, and for programmers, keeping up can feel like debugging code with no comments— frustrating and time-consuming. Whether you’re managing databases, writing policies, or just trying to keep up with your inbox, AI is proving to be a gamechanger in streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency.
AI Isn’t Here to Replace You — It’s Here to Help
Let’s be clear: AI isn’t about replacing programmers. It’s about making life easier by handling repetitive, tedious tasks so you can focus on what really matters—solving complex problems, innovating, and actually enjoying your work.
Whether you’re just starting to explore AI tools or already incorporating them into your daily tasks, one thing is certain: professionals who embrace AI will be the ones who stay ahead of the curve.
How AI Can Save You Time (and Sanity)
AI can assist with a variety of programming and administrative tasks, from automating responses to emails to generating and optimizing code. Here are just a few ways AI can make your job easier:
• Automated Coding Assistance –AI-powered tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT can generate code snippets, suggest optimizations, and even debug common issues.
• Email & Documentation
Management – AI can draft responses, summarize long threads, and help generate technical documentation, saving hours of manual work.
• Policy & Compliance Review – Need to ensure your code or policies align with the latest regulations? AI can cross-check documentation against updated standards.
• Staff & User Support Tools – AI can generate quick-reference guides, FAQs, or even chatbot-powered support for end users, reducing workload on human teams.
• Marketing & Content Creation –Whether you need blog posts, website copy, or social media updates, AI can create and refine content in minutes.
The Future of AI in Programming
AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s already reshaping the way programmers work. The more we integrate AI into our daily tasks, the more time we free up for innovation, problem-solving, and creative thinking.
So, if you’ve ever wished for an extra set of hands (or a second brain that doesn’t need coffee to function), AI might just be your new best friend. And unlike some coworkers, it won’t mysteriously disappear when there’s a bug to fix.
