Residents will have to wait a few months more before they can use Harriman Lake Park, which has been closed since November 2011 for a project to rebuild the dam. 

The park, at South Kipling Parkway and West Quincy Avenue, includes a 1.4-mile trail around the lake. Foothills Park & Recreation District has leased much of the park from Denver Water since 1995. Foothills has also leased 11 acres southwest of the lake from Jefferson County Open Space for 15 years.

EVERGREEN — You never want to call a race too early, especially if there’s a chance you could be wrong. But sometimes you know pretty quickly that it’s over. That was the case in the 200-yard freestyle relay Nov. 30 at the Wulf Recreation Center for the Evergreen girls ‘A’ team.

Josh Perkins lived up to the hype. The Regis Jesuit junior, as evidence of the attention he has gained, which included scouts from the University of Colorado and Kansas University in attendance — one being CU head coach Tad Boyle — put on quite the show.
With a red sleeve covering his left arm, the Raiders sharp-shooter was all flash in scoring a game-high 39 points. But Columbine’s Jon Snow matched him almost point for point, scoring a career-best 37 points.

COLUMBINE REBELS
Head coach: Kristi Marosy
Assistant coach: Tim Byers
Classification: 5A Jeffco
Swimmers to watch: Erin Lemberger, Jr; Lily Burk, Sr.; Maggie Burns, Jr.; Lauren Dolloff, Sr.
Season opener: Nov. 30, vs. Pomona, Ridge Pool, 4 p.m.
Outlook: “We grew our team by about 12 girls so now we need to make sure that we grow and are successful and that everyone has a good season,” Marosy said. “Hopefully the girls who have never swum before will appreciate being part of a team and have a good time.”
