About Us

Outdoor seating area at Boulder Elks Lodge #566.

At 3975 28th Street, the Boulder Elks Lodge #566 has been a cornerstone of this community for generations, and walking through the doors makes that instantly clear. The indoor pool alone sets this lodge apart: a full lap section, a deep end, a low dive, and a high dive board, open year-round regardless of what the Front Range weather is doing outside.

The lodge is anchored by a 2,700-square-foot dance floor, one of the largest in Boulder County, and a dining and event hall built to host everything from wedding receptions to charity fundraisers. A full commercial kitchen backs it all up. On any given evening you might catch an informal sing-along drifting out of the lounge, a tradition that regulars have kept alive for years.

Behind the lodge, a dedicated RV parking area with generous back-in spaces and hookups makes this a genuine destination for traveling members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Hosts like Dennis and Cindy set the tone, greeting newcomers with area tips and the kind of warmth that turns a first visit into a standing habit.

What We Offer

The lodge offers year-round pool access for members, complete with lap lanes and diving boards that most fitness clubs in Boulder simply cannot match. Membership unlocks the lounge, regular social events, community service programs, and access to the national BPOE network at lodges across the country.

For the broader Boulder community, public event booking is available in the large lounge and the expansive dining and dance hall. Full kitchen facilities come with every rental, making the space practical for caterers, fundraisers, corporate gatherings, and milestone celebrations. The RV hookup parking in the rear lot serves traveling Elks members looking for a friendly, affordable stop along the Colorado Front Range.

Regular programming includes live music nights, charitable giving initiatives tied to the BPOE national mission, and community dinners that keep members connected season after season.

"This is a large lodge. The pool has a lap section and a deep end with a high dive board and low dive board. It's open year round. The RV parking is behind the lodge. Nice size back-in spaces with 30 or 50 amp spots. We are in a 30 amp, I had to use a 30 to 50 cord. We are right behind the pool. Today they had free hot dogs and $2 beer. We've been invited to a potluck tonight. Their BBQing burgers."

"Dennis and Cindy are fantastic host and hostess. They are very helpful to get you set up and provide lots of information about the area. In addition to that they were just very very nice people. Also the campers that come have a fellowship that makes everyone feel welcome and wanted. It’s always about the people!"

"Beautiful 2700 sq foot Dance floor. Public event booking is available for the large lounge and huge dining/dance room. Full kitchen facilities are also available. There's an informal music and singing Jam on the 2nd and 4th Fridays at 6:30. We do mostly late 60s and 70s songs, along with some folk. Songbooks provided, or bring your favorites! Bar and lounge is open those nights following Labor day, when the pool terminates the Friday afternoon/eve free family swimming, which features a Tiki bar and food. Lots of pool seating and a covered patio with tables. The outdoor heated pool is open year round following their schedule. Tango lessons with Vanessa on Wednesday evening. PreCovid she taught with the prestigious Boulder Tango Studio. She is one of, and I believe, the best instructor in Colorado. There're regular Bridge and Bingo avtivities. Membership and lodge participation is welcome to all."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
