Free Showers Available at Lathrop State Park for Walsenburg Community After Water Main Break

WALSENBURG, Colo - Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers at Lathrop State Park welcome community members to access hot showers on the park through a county telephone reservation system in the wake of ongoing efforts to recover from a water main break and related disaster declaration impacting city residents. 

Walsenburg city and Huerfano county officials have been working to repair and recover from the water main break since early Friday. 

“These are our friends and neighbors, and this is a small way we can help the community recover,” said Daryl Seder, Park Manager. “Park staff have been volunteering and distributing water bottles at the county community center since Saturday; discussion about hot showers came up pretty quickly.”

Both shower facilities at the park’s Pinon Camp Ground support year-round camping and are now open to community members at no-cost through a phone reservation system. Each facility has two showers. 

County staff are taking reservations from local residents for 30 minute time slots for shower access today through 8 p.m. and on Monday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at (719) 738-3000, ext. 512.

Shower reservations will be made with consideration for routine facility cleaning to ensure public safety.
