\t\t\t\t\"indoor<\/a>It appears the frustrating, rainy and cold weather won\u2019t be ending by Memorial Day weekend, the time when the Stapleton MCA officially opens the pools. \u201cIt has been a pretty tough spring for people who try to enjoy the outdoors in Colorado,\u201d says MCA President Liza Kampstra. \u201cIt has snowed or rained almost every day in May, and that has made it tough for a lot of people with their sports teams<\/a>, and really hurt people\u2019s ability to golf<\/a> or go to Rockies games.\u201d\n\nWith weekend temperatures expected to top out in the high 60\u2019s, with chances of rain daily, the MCA decided to make a major change. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to cancel the festive opening we have celebrated in the past,\u201d said Kampstra. \u201cSo, we worked with the Central Park Rec Center and the City of Denver, and we are moving the pool openings to the rec center\u2019s indoor pool. We feel this is the best thing to do so that people can still enjoy some pool time and at least start to feel like summer is here, even though it feels like it is not even close.\u201d\nKampstra says the change to the indoor venue won\u2019t go without its pitfalls. \u201cObviously, space is a concern. There is a chance people will get stamps, and based on their stamp, will have to leave after being there in two hour increments. We have six pools in Stapleton that are typically packed Memorial Day Weekend. Now, all of those people will be converging on one small pool.\u201d Kampstra says the pool will still have a DJ, but there is another downfall of being in the rec center. \u201cThey do not allow food or drink in the pool area,\u201d said Kampstra. \u201cAnd, unfortunately, that includes alcohol.\u201d Kampstra is still encouraging Stapleton residents to come down to the rec center and get in some pool time. \u201cThis will just be a way for us to get excited for summer. I mean, the weather can\u2019t stay this bad forever, right?\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
