Really great swimming pool for kids , also provide swimming vests for kids that need them or just in general. Kids swimming area is just perfect for them , deeper side of the swimming pool is a bit cold but nothing they can’t handle. 😊 Will be coming here more often with the kids as they really liked it and had fun

It was our first visit so admission was free. This place was clean spacious and bright there was premium exercise equipment thought the facility. We came for the pool which was large child friendly and very clean. Even the lap pool was very child friendly as it has spots for children to sit in the water while you swim laps. Over all probably the cleanest and best rec center pool in the state of Colorado. Would return!!!

One of the worst rec centers out there. I've been followed around this place multiple times, even to the restroom. Something about my skin color didn't sit well with the people who run this place. I filed a complaint with the manager, Elizabeth (Lizo). She couldn't care less. Lizo, I hope you move on somewhere else soon. Hate is on the rise

I was in the middle of my workout when the front desk staff member (white woman, red or brunette hair) approached me (and another woman) and told us to put on a shirt. I was already wearing proper workout attire , and in my four years as a member at the rec centers, I’ve never had this issue before. I also didn’t see any posted rule about this. Is this an actual policy, or was she applying her own rule?
