Surfers, tubers, kayakers and other whitewater enthusiasts will ride the newest waves in Southern Colorado tomorrow, Saturday, May 24, as part of a celebration for the new Water Works Park in Pueblo.
Pueblo Water spent about $11 million to turn a dangerous spot on the Arkansas River into a free, family-friendly, all-levels recreation area. The public utility replaced a small century-old diversion dam with wading ponds, tubing areas and whitewater challenges. Walking paths wind along the riverbanks and now two new pedestrian bridges cross the river.
