I have yet to use all of the facilites, but they have a LOT to choose from. Outdoor pool, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, indoor gym, exercise bikes and treadmills, nice set of weight machines. And the place is super clean and well kept. Plenty of parking. And I get to use if for FREE (since I am retired). Staff is also very friendly and helpful.

If you are looking for a rec center or a nice park to walk around, I suggest Eisenhower. Parking is easy. The rec center is clean. The gardens outside are beautiful. The place is well kept.

I think this is a fun rec center to work out at- and has a very good neighborhood vibe. In the summer it really gets going with the outdoor pool activity. Employees are always friendly and keep the place squeaky clean. Being one of the larger outdoor pool centers gives the large bathrooms kind of a “swimming pool” feel but there is also a small set of bathrooms that are updated. Good water machines, excellent running treadmills with a “negative pitch” which I really enjoy working on. This can really strengthen your legs! . None of the other centers have a negative pitch treadmill. Parking is excellent, copious, very safe and right where the center is!

My daughter lives in denver so when I visit, I play pickleball at the Eisenhower recreation center. The staff is great and the pickleball players welcoming.
