Save Spruce Pool: a century-old pool becomes a live civic argument
A Boulder campaign asks residents and city council to preserve Spruce Pool, the city’s oldest public pool, before its ongoing funding disappears from the 2027 budget.
Field notes
The campaign organizes its argument around a dated sequence: early closures in 2025 and 2026, removal of ongoing operating funds in the recommended 2027 budget, and a stated risk of closure in 2028. It also connects access and climate by mapping 10-, 15-, and 20-minute walks from nearby neighborhoods while presenting a year-by-year heat table covering 1990–2026. Council dates, a scorecard, source links, and downloadable advocacy materials make the page function as both explainer and organizing hub.
