TUESDAY Walk around the Lake

Grasmere Lake Rehabilitation Project
Grasmere Lake had a serious seepage problem, losing 100-acre feet of water each year since 1906 directly into the ground below it.
The liner material is a 30-mil thickness polyvinyl chloride plastic. It measures approximately 720,000 square feet, or 12.5 football fields. The lake's capacity is approximately 100 acre feet or 32,585,100 gallons.
Denver Parks also funded the rehabilitation of the walking trail on the lake perimeter. As part of this restoration, the original sandstone walls were carefully removed, stockpiled and reset in a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing manner up to the lake edge.

Snack after walking and before starting the Clean Up

Good Night!
