To improve the guest experience and safety, the city of Aurora is temporarily implementing new park hours and regulations at Aurora Reservoir, 5800 S. Powhaton Road. Effective Saturday, June 8, park hours on Saturdays and Sundays will be 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. Guests will also see increased security on weekends to ensure the safety of all visitors.
Temporary regulation changes now prohibit the possession and consumption of alcohol at Aurora Reservoir. Park rules prohibiting loud music will also be strictly enforced.
“Aurora Reservoir is a beautiful and unique space within the city, and one that we want all guests to be able to enjoy,” said Parks, Recreation and Open Space Director Brooke Bell. “We are making these changes to improve the experience for all guests and to assist our staff in managing the large crowds we see during the warmer months.”
There will be signage posted at the park in both English and Spanish that reminds visitors of the new hours and restrictions.
The changes will not have an impact on prescheduled, permitted, large-scale events or any other Parks, Recreation and Open Space facilities or parks.
