Great rec center. I wish they could have made one side of pool wall, to be able to open allowing for outside use. Or at least a door to the patio. The whole outside area could be fenced in.
Or even build a large upstairs deck for the same reason.

Homeowner in the neighborhood that continues to pay more and more property tax every year. Twice in the past two weeks I have tried to take my kids to the pool only to be told they are at “capacity” with less than 20 people in the pool. I realize it’s hard to staff lifeguards during the school year but when I asked if it was because of lifeguard shortages I was told “no”. Not to mention the climbing wall and slide at the pool is open probably 10% or less of the time as well even if you get in. Our tax dollars hard at work! Be honest and staff accordingly!

Very good recreation center, a lot of classes and activities:)
Came here for the pool, and the pool itself is great! Clean, a lot of space, well lid 🙂
The hours of the lap swimming are great, see attached schedule.
Parking can be a bit tight…
Overall, highly recommended!
Thank you

This place simply rocks – is a model how a community recreation center should be – friendly staff, affordable, well-equipped. My son has been swim training here for years and I finally made my first trip. I love the weight area and cardio area.
Full, but not crowded, good vibe. If I lived in Denver, I’d go here every day. Keep up the great work!

Nov 30,2025 I wanted to cancel my membership cuz leaving for few months. I was initially told by a gentleman over the phone to come in person to handle the cancellation 2pm I made the call.However, after arrived to the gym the second gentleman informed that I actually needed to do it online. I spend uber going there and coming back home.
When I brought this up, it felt like there were excuses made rather than a straightforward acknowledgment of the miscommunication. They told me that a lot people where there in the las 35 minutes that anyone could say that inf. I’d really appreciate it if the front desk team could be consistent in the information they provide, or even post a sign so that members know the correct process right away. That way, we can avoid confusion and unnecessary trips in the future. On the other hand,I want to give five stars to the staff member who originally helped me open my account. She was extremely helpful, knew her job well, and wasn’t shy about getting answers when needed from her boss when she did not know the answer about different types of membership.The gym is clean, affordable, love the pool, and ask for the email for anyone who needs to cancel is NOT in person is by email. Here google does not allow me to post the email.
