Prospect Lake Beach House Renovation
Renovations are now complete on the Eni R. Jaspersen Beach House at Prospect Lake in Memorial Park.
The renovated beach house features indoor and outdoor learning spaces, an outdoor gathering area with boulder seating, a rentable indoor great room for community events, beach volleyball, a lit patio, and accessible beach access among other new amenities. Lakeside Dawgs, a locally-based concessionaire, is operating from the space, offering food and beverage items to customers.
The total investment in the renovation was approximately $1.4 million, with about $1 million coming from grants from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) and approximately $400,000 from capital improvement and office of accessibility funds as well as park land dedication fees. Work to redesign the iconic beach house began in 2018 and was completed in July 2021.
