DENVER (KDVR) — After Disneyland opened in California, Walt Disney was looking for another U.S. destination to host entertainment. He then set his sights on Colorado.

The Denver Public Library took a deep dive into what some locals may remember as Celebrity Sports Center, an indoor and outdoor amusement park in the Denver suburb of Glendale.

In 1960, Walt Disney and some other big-name investors opened up the park, initially called Celebrity Lanes. After expanding, the project cost $6 million, which is approximately $63 million today, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

During its time, the park was bustling with birthday parties, swimming lessons and professional bowling tournaments — but it only made it about 30 years before shutting down.

In its heyday, the Celebrity Sports Center was equipped with an Olympic-sized pool, water slides, 80 lanes of bowling, a shooting gallery, 300 arcade games, several fine-dining restaurants and even a beauty salon.

The park was meant to be a chain with locations nationwide. Although, that never happened.

It wasn’t meeting financial expectations a year and a half following its grand opening, but the Disney Company kept up with the park even after Walt died in 1966. By the early 70s, the company shifted to Walt Disney World and sold Celebrity Sports.

The new management opened up some memorable features, like the multi-story waterslides, and brought in an average of a million visitors each year.

However, that still wasn’t enough.

The building started to attract dangerous behavior, including a shooting in the parking lot. It closed in June 1994 and was demolished about a year later.

Now, you’ll find a hub of chain stores in place of the park, like Staples and Whole Foods Market.
