I love this place. The Staff is friendly, helpful. The environment is clean and the pools are great! As a senior citizen, I enjoy coming here to exercise on a regular basis.

Rodney Richardson

My first visit after walking two and one half miles to get there! Three times the size of Martin Luther King recreation center ! I was on a tight schedule that day so I will visit again when I have time to do a much better discovery of the place, what I did see was very impressive !

susan saeugling

This place is huge,and has everything. I went to check it out and I was really glad I did. A huge pool with a slide , and lots of groups of fun classes. Also a cool indoor basketball court. Open seven days a week and they offer day,or month passes so you van check it out.

Jose Abreu

Very cold and beautiful ❤️

Only has one bench, used to have three. Lots of other useful equipment has also been removed, such as belt for weighted pull ups. My dad asked the front desk about this about a year ago, and the front desk people claimed they were getting two more benches. It's been a year and still only one bench :/

Jaymes Baassiri

Fabulous pivot point in our community. Grateful this place of wellness exists 🙏 …

Junk Account

Too many nosy ppl who have no idea what's going on read an article and want to be judge, jury and executioner. All these false reviews of the place over an old man, no one cares. Sorry. Elderly abuse, STOP! Review the PLACE! No one cares about your feelings, just facts on pool and rec center. Go vlog somewhere. All those "Reviews" should be deleted. Same toxic ppl always been on internet judging where they don't belong.(no one asked about a case) Being elderly does not put you above the law or rules because soccer moms who judge say you can do anything you like because your elderly. Sorry you don't like to obey rules, I guess. Nice place just don't listen to the gossip queens who have no better way to spend a day. =)

Karen Barber

Nice place, with friendly employees, and great views and trails

Kimberly Schmit

Great place to work out. Lovely view of the mountains and the city. Easy to forget any stress you have while doing the treadmill, or the exercise bike. Plenty of TV's to watch/ listen to, but bring your own ear buds. Clean, warm, classes, pool, and more. Large free parking lot too.

This is a great facility but it will apparently remain closed until mid-August 2021 due to COVID. That seems to be an excessively long time. Why not open for people who are fully vaccinated and let people reserve an hour? Or set aside a few hours in the morning for vaccinated senior citizens? It’s a shame to let this beautiful facility sit empty a day longer than necessary.

Leon Mason

Very nice rec center with great staff. I've been to rec centers and gyms all over the U.S., and this one is on par with the best that I've been to. Is it missing a few pieces of equipment? Yes. Can you still not get your workout on/in due to this fact? No. Keep up the good work Denver Parks and Rec.

I love this pool, it is fun for the kids! Shallow wading/play area, lap pool & a fast moving, river-like situation. I only give 4 stars because the river is seriously intense & there is a swirling circle whirlpool that can be problematic... It is fun, kids love to spin around in there, like a boiling pot of little people. It can be seriously dangerous trying to escape the whirlpool part though! As you leave, the velocity of the river whips you out & can smash your body against the exit wall of the whirlpool. I am strong, but have severely injured my arm twice trying extract children from there. Closely monitor & help your children in the fast part of this pool.

Nicole Buff

This rec center is pretty cool. The place was absolutely PACKED so many kids that all you heard was screaming and yelling. Ended up just swimming laps because there was a crazy amount of kids in the lazy river area. They do this thing where they close down the entire kid area for 15-20 minutes every so often to make sure no one is under the water. I thought it was smart but you could tell that it was irritating to the parents and kids that got thrown out if the pool. They had a huge gym. Everything was pretty clean. The locker room floor was so wet that it wasnt very safe. Because it was our first time there we got in for free which was pretty cool. Might go back on a school day with less little kids. Dont get me wrong I have a child but it was CRAZY in there.

Raquel Rojas

Love my cycling class at 5:45am Monday, Thursday and Fridays!!! Yeah!!! 😉 …

Jessica Zeleniak

The facility itself is nice- better than any of the other Denver recs I have been to (but I haven't visited all of them). The front desk staff are also friendly, which is a nice way to start the day. I started coming for the morning aqua fitness classes, and everything seems to be a mess with the classes. The life guards who lead the classes are absent a lot, under prepared, start class late, etc. and the best instructor recently quit which is super frustrating. I have not attended aqua Zumba, but hear very good things about it and might have to start going to earlier to catch that class. Lately the showers in the women's locker room have also been freezing- to the point where I can't even rinse off after I get out of the pool, let alone actually shower. I pay more for my membership here than I did at 24 Hour Fitness and I have been a bit disappointed.

Neil Allman

Top notch Denver rec center! Our family with five kids has used several rec centers throughout the city and this is our favorite. They have the CHEAPEST CHILDCARE anywhere and it's really good. Basketball courts with regular adult and kid pick-up games, awesome pool with lazy river, lap pool, big slide, and shallow toddlers area. The gym has a wide variety of equipment and although regularly used is rarely packed. Their wide variety of community activities are well priced and worth every dollar.

Linda Peterson

The Aqua Zumba class is so much fun! The instructor is good, and the music is inspirational. Go with the flow on the river walk, or go against the current for a harder workout. Then relax in the jacuzzi. There's lots of workout equipment, and a gym. There's even a space for birthday parties. Staff is always helpful and friendly.

Sheila C

I like the staff - especially our Aqua Zumba instructor Marvinna. She's an excellent teacher who makes it fun and informative. The greeters at the front desk are friendly & welcoming. The pool & the lazy river are good features.

Jason Blair

The pool here is phenomenal for kids and parents have plenty of fun as well.

Kevin Jarvis

Overall nice rec center but having to wait for a machine because they don't enforce the 45 minute rule gets ridiculous. The pool fills up fast too which is also a downside. We've been there when you've had to go on a waitlist to get in.

chris coughlan

Lots of exercise options including cardio machines, weight lifting, swimming, and a basketball gym. They have two large pools: one for swimming lanes and a slide and the other with a kid friendly area and lazy river. In 2017 they cut the amount of time you can spend on the cardio machines down to 30 minutes from 45 minutes; many people still exercise for 45+ minutes. The cardio area is often busy around 5pm on weekdays and the pool is busy on the weekends. They also offer lots of great classes.

Richard Wiscott

Great place. Friendly staff. Even when it looks busy easy to get machines you want. Wish there was more adult only swim times. Love all the windows and open soaring ceilings.

Jessie Bailey

We go here for the pool, which is very nice. It's got water features, slides, zero entry and a lazy river. They also have floaties and noodles to borrow, which is perfect for our four year old.

Carol Ann Biser

This place is great! Friendly staff, really reasonable prices, and the indoor pool is amazing. There's a big water slide, kids sprinklers and a smaller slide, lazy river, whirlpool and lap lanes to boot

C

Pros: Newish building New equipment Great views from Cardio room. Cons: To many fans in cardio room. Difficult to break a sweat. Lots of kids aimlessly running around. They spray chemical cleaners on the water fountains and sometimes don't wash them off. Be careful.

Ageno Otii

Great facility with new equipment, exercise or community rooms, pool, and large gym for playing ball. They even have a day care onsite. It will cost you a bit over $300/ year for membership.. so oys not that much different from alot of other gyms out there.

Katherine Thompson

Ok so y'all KNOW I LOVE this Recreation Center Right!?!!?! Like literally I'm so In LOVE WITH THIS RECREATION CENTER!!!!!!!!! Y'ALL FR!!!!! BUT,,,,,, the pool NEEDS some minor maintenance that is visually unacceptable... I feel and I explained to a lifeguard who got butt reported to his boss for ignoring me , that if thing like a net are ripped or a lifejackets not working right or a ball is deflated you can just take it off until it's replaced

OTR Trucker

Pretty good rec center, plenty of weights and cardio machines. The sand creek jogging path, just outside the rec center, goes for miles. The pool is separated between a lap pool and a play pool. The big drawback is that, there's no whirlpool, hot tub, sauna or steamroom.

Speed Racer

This place was very nice because my mom would drive me here for my cooking classes I don't remember if it was every Monday or something but she would drive me or every single time my cooking classes and we will cook something and use knives and stuff and we would even make cookies we even make dumplings and shrimp one time and it was so fun when we finished while we were waiting for the food to finish with we had this little room where we could sit in and chill and run around and stuff and I just chilling read a book and run around for a bit it was so fun if you have cooking classes here I recommend that you sign up for them because the teacher is super nice and he does not care about if you have to like if you have to fry the shrimp he just does likes nice things for you even gives you cookies after the class

Stephen Holst

Best kids pool in town. Free for kids who go to school in Denver too. And it's one of the only rec centers open on Sunday. Keep that in mind as it can get crowded, especially on bad weather days and they do have a limit.

Buzz Yancey

Great place if you're over 65. Wonderful facility for $100 per year! 2018...now it';s even better. It's free if you're over 60 because of the new Denver Prime program

Kimi Price

Excellent playground and field area! Came here with the family and played some frisbee and watched the kids climb all over the equipment. Very new and well-kept playground. This park has little hills made of foam for climbing, lots of benches with shades for parents, and a really big rock on the top of the hill that the kids are just obsessed with. There is a restroom and drinking fountains, as well as a splash pad in the Summer. I would recommend this park for the whole family (pets too.)

Josh Plave

Nice location, the free weights are a bit outdated and some key equipment is missing, like and incline bench. But overall it works, and the crowds have really died down since the location on Colfax opened up.

Bradley Grimm

Needs better wifi, no signal in basement. Clean gym with an attentive and friendly staff. The hours make it tough to get in there on the weekends but overall good value.

Sarah

Clean facility with lots of new equipment. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They have great childcare and offer as variety of classes/lessons for all ages.

Jackie Bell

Took my son swimming today and it was the best day ever! Great pool, great staff, and beautiful facility. So lucky to have this great rec center nearby!

DCHONDA 1200

The workout area is grand in space and has all of equipment. Their are 2 pools one is laps and the other for kids. Although the kid pool has a bench in the water and is equip with jets for relaxation

Melissa Tugsal

I have been a member for 3 days now and I am already in love! From the friendly staff, the kid watch, amazing pool facilities, classes, youth programs, equipment and more I am loving it!

Solar Kraut

Pool is only open from 7:15 to 8:30 for families seeking an afterwork playtime with small kids. If you can come before 5, the pool is great!

Katrina Smits

Beautiful City rec center. An olympic size swimming pool that always has to lap lanes open, nice weight room, anaerobic machines that face a solid line of windows looking at the Front Range

Keith Hazleton

A very nice facility that is well maintained. The membership is also very reasonably priced for getting access to nice cardio, weights, a pool (no hot tub), and basketball courts.

Sistah Sarah

Love Love it great location! Love the Trails, went on a tour with my Dad 85 he wants to go swimming. He thinks it's really nice as well!!

Thank You Very Much

Most beautiful Colorado mountain view while on the treadmill... The water area is average. This center is smaller when compared to the Trails Rec.

Octavia Everett

The kids employed here are always so friendly. The pool is always clean and with the amount of time I spend here I never see it too busy.

George M

Everything needed for a good workout is here. The facility is big so it's rare to have to wait for any machines. And it's kept clean.

Sean

Cheap. Everything you need, bring your own towel and save $50 a month (I mean opposed to other gyms, it's not like a deal they have).

Brittany G

I love looking out over the park while doing cardio. Has something for everyone with a pool, basketball, weight room, fitness classes and cardio area.

Damian Krass

Awesome complex! But water in lap pool is too warm

Mauricio Ramirez

This place is awesome, its huge and has a multitude of things to do, but the gym is the real reason to come here.

Very nice place to workout! The hours are very limited though. Amazing view from the cardio area.

will toppen

It is okay though there was three teenage boys who had an additude and looked very suspicious later I was taking a shower at the pool and the teenage boys were staring at me constantly and once I got to my unlocked locker my shoes and everything was pulled out so I believe it was the teen kids so don't ever keep your values in an unlocked locker

Jesse Collins

Took a cooking class here & it was amazing! Also had a healthy living/nutrition part of the class that was extremely informative!

Jacob White
