Colorado Amphitheater
Jefferson County
Located on the south side of South Table Mountain, the amphitheater was constructed by the WPA during 1933-35. With an estimated 2,500 seats, it is the second largest of only four known historic open-air amphitheaters in Colorado.
The fieldstone and concrete seating area was built on the natural slope below the mesa’s edge. It forms an inverted U-shape that is flanked by concrete mortared stone walls, which are buttressed for support. An associated footbridge, crossing a drainage provides access from a parking lot. Listed under Historic Resources of Camp George West Multiple Property Submission.
