City of Arvada, Lake Arbor Community Center Master Plan
The Lake Arbor Community Center, established in the 1970s, has long served as a cherished recreational hub in Arvada, Colorado. The community center includes a 25-yard pool with a zero-depth entry, a pool slide, geysers, picnic areas, and adjacent parkland. The neighboring Lake Arbor Golf Course, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, features a scenic 18-hole course enjoyed by golfers of all skill levels.
Recognizing the need to revitalize these aging facilities, the City of Arvada has launched the Lake Arbor Community Center Master Plan. This initiative reimagines the future of the community center, pool, athletic fields, tennis courts, early childhood education facilities, and playgrounds. This effort is happening concurrently with the Lake Arbor Golf Course Master Plan to ensure that neighboring amenities complement one another, with the ultimate goal of ensuring these spaces continue to meet the evolving needs of the community.
Robust community engagement is central to this effort. Input has been gathered through pop-up events at the Little Elementary Community Fair and Market, the golf course, HOA meetings, and collaboration with Apex Park and Recreation District, the City of Arvada, and the golf committee. Market and demographic analyses, along with community surveys, have further informed the process.
Through these collaborative efforts, we aim to create a master plan that reflects the community’s vision, ensuring Lake Arbor remains vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable for generations to come.
