Reviews of Washington Park Recreation Center

Grace Markley

Love my neighborhood rec center; great gym, friendly staff and lots of recreation options from swim aerobics to pickleball.

Glenwood Williams

I enjoy the park as well as the rec center. The people around there have all pretty much been and are some of the kindest and most gracious to homeless people that I've seen. Keep it up!#kind&nice!

M Cohrs

Friendly staff , great pool, nice weight and exercise room, big pool with some splashing even during adult swim. Hours can be unpredictable due to events or staffing. Update: seems more stable now. Friendly staff.

We have been visited this rec center for a long time. It becomes better and better with every year. The front desk staff is great, very welcoming and supportive. A volleyball coach Cassandra is a rare gem, a great lead for kids. She is always cheerful and kind, patient and knowledgeable during a volleyball practice. Cassandra is amazing. Thank you.

My favorite park in town! What a pleasure to take the longboard around the beautiful and smooth circuit! Check it out!

Regina Mate

Really nice park! Expect it to be busy no matter when you go. They've got 2 separate walking loop paths, 2 lakes, basketball, tennis, etc. There is plenty parking around the perimeter and it's free.

Dan Dorenkamp

I really enjoy working out here. The staff is friendly and the equipment is always kept in good working order, including 4 TVs in the cardio room. Can get a little busy during typical busy fitness center hours, but it's manageable. Most people keep to themselves, and are very respectful of others. Has a great swimming pool and large locker rooms. My only wishes are a bit longer hours on the weekends and a few more open gym hours.

Sebastian Estenssoro

Honestly great. $6 drop in fee and has everything you could need

Richa Ghevarghese

I love this place! they have a limited number of equipments, however, people are usually great about moving around in a rotating system, and check in with each other for whether a machine is free. There is a pool, an open gym, and many classes that are offered here. In the summertime, they have yoga out in the Wash Park boathouse. The staff are friendly and very helpful!

Will Gallagher

Amazing quality facilities for a public rec center. Annual and shorter term memberships are very affordable compared with nearby private gyms. Weight and cardio areas have all needed equipment. Locker rooms are a bit dated and not always super clean but acceptable.

Came here to take family pictures and they came out absolutely beautiful!

This is an adequate rec center and I generally use it for most of my lifting. Pros: -Adequate staff. Some, like Justin, are very friendly and welcoming. Others couldn't care less when you come in, but they do their jobs well and keep things clean and orderly -Newer and well maintained equipment -Full size pool if you swim laps -Convenient location -they responded pretty quickly to complaints when they did away with the 2.5lb plates and bought new ones Cons: -the weight room is very tiny for the amount of use it gets -there is only one power rack, so only one person doing military press, squats, deadlifts, bent over rows etc at a time. This quickly becomes an issue on busy nights -the locker room does not have separate showers, unlike other rec centers -they charge regional pricing for this location, and I'm really not sure why. The pool does not make up for the lack or room and equipment in other areas. The Central Park rec center is more what I expect for regional pricing.

Great gym, plenty of equipment (weights & cardio ) I've been going here for three months now and it has been my favorite local gym, so far.

Staff is super friendly. Nonmember check in is smooth. We just needed the gym for basketball practice on a Tuesday night. Wasnt crowded at all. Gym floor wasnt dusty/ slippery which was nice. They blocked half of it off, so people dont take up the entire gym. Cant speak to the rest of the place. Kind of a maze to get there, was my first time, they do have a "lower" parking lot in case you cant find parking right by the entrance. I remember thinking at first that it was a tiny parking area for a rec center, but go down a bit and park by the water and follow the path up to the rec center. Plenty of water fountains and bathrooms have lockers and showers too.

Zen park!! It’s thee biggest park w the tinniest gym. New gym equipment but not much space or machines. They need to expand it much larger so not so crowded during peak hours. Beautiful lake outside

Scott Hess

What a great place! It's one of the more dated rec centers, but it's still clean, inviting and has enough amenities to keep you busy. And they're doing some work to make it even nicer! Love going here.

Daniel Preston

Nice local rec center, not huge but it has just about everything. The yoga classes on Saturdays have great instruction and, if you're as bad at yoga as I am, are less intimidating because of the wide variety of skill levels present at each one.

Jackie Hardaway

Great place to work out staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. They also to give you other rec centers for classes for your 14 year old to take for using the weights. That way they can go and use the weight room without an adult. They have to be 15 otherwise if you don't take the class.

Richard Doubt

Great location, decent weight room, nice gym, friendly staff. My only complaint is with the scheduling, which (as with any Denver rec center) often doesn't match what's listed online and still uses manually updated PDFs. For example, "open gym" might actually mean the gym is occupied by youth sports without any mention on the schedule.

Annie Bresnahan

Beautiful area. It can be very busy. Great place to run at kindda. People are inconsiderate with their dogs here. Fun for kids. Trail around all of wash park is 2.5 miles not a long run.

Yuru

Love coming to this park and enjoying the people watching. It does help to come here in the mornings as its not as busy. But it is well maintained and the Park Rangers to a good job keeping people in check.

Rachel Tate

Great neighborhood gym. I would give them 5 stars if the had dumbbells that went up in 2.5 pound increments instead of 5 pound increments and I wish their hours were a little more generous on the weekends.

Laura Matesi

I love this Park! Clean, lots of variety in walking, running paths. I enjoy the flowers, and the ponds Accessable bathrooms. Nice recreation facilities. Good playground for families to bring kids. Just go!

Mark Williams

Really enjoy the wash park rec center. Yoga classes.. boot camps.. all are great. Nive filks at front desk... and the value is phenomenal. Check out cyber Monday membership special coming soon

Dustin Doyle

Nice rec center with a gym, workout faculty and pool. Gets crowded during busy hours, but so does every other gym. Would recommend.

Lori Faulk

I have been a member for three years. I use the pool the most. A great place for a walk and picnics. Great staff, the grounds are beautiful and well kept.

Brian W

Good place for working out. Plenty of equipment and friendly staff.

Donna Gardner

Perfect weather for a stroll. Saw bald eagles too

Ynot

A wonderful park for bringing out the whole family for a bbq picnic! Its surrounded by beautiful Victorian homes. Has a boathouse to rent boats and bikes from!

Richard Weil

Friendly and open folks. Clean facility. Limited amount of equipment, but enough for me and the office is right.

Blaine Hine

Great facility. Has a good setup for everything; weight, cardio, gym and the pool is large and clean.

Matt Whitmer

There is a lot of people getting their fitness all dialed in, but everyone is really respectful and kind. I would suggest that you try to avoid the common busy times.

Mia Voss

I live in the neighborhood and dang, i am lucky to live so close to such a fabulous park! Great paths, trails & the rec center is amazeballs

Traci Mazza

Excellent gym with updated equipment and lots of options with great views of the park!

Ben Eby

I can't figure out why this facility warrants the regional price. It's small and old. But the staff is really nice at least.

Bice

Great place for a great many things, picnics, volleyball, running, walking and more.

Travis R.

The staff here is excellent. Beyond what I could have hoped for. Sometimes the place is busy, but it is always clean and functioning!

Carlos Jasso

Beautiful place. We found a dance group and was a great experience hearing the music from around the world.

Andrew

Nice place. Friendly. Low cost. Too many kids running around in the summer though.

John Schairer

Generally small and crowded. The gym is usually monopolized by youth sports without notice.

Best place to waste a Saturday 😎 …

Strange there are negative reviews. This is a great place to work out. Lots of serious athletes.

Quite nice swimming pool, but the pool lines are only open to their full length at certain times.

Great place to park while you’re hanging at the park. Not sure what else they have to offer but I’m sure it’s great!

M Hillegas

Nice facility with friendly staff. Very affordable, even for non-Denver residents.
