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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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 is 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.

This weight room has *three* power racks and so much room and space! My favorite rec center in the area

I like the facilities and the activities they offer to be in good shape. The pool has a small area for kids and also for adults.

Clean and not too busy. Great spin class and trail nearby

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.

Great place for views, working out. The only thing I recommend is to offer military discounts.

I like Central Park because it's easier to go over there and I like to stay there for a little bit and then leave only visits

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.

I like the pool it's big and neat, love it. It's our 2nd visit the staff is great and helpful.

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.

Pretty nice pool geared toward the kids. Went on a friday after school and it wasn't crowded at all

This place is limited on equipment and closes at 5 on the weekend. You know the time when everyone actually has time to workout. Had I not realized they closed at 5 the person at the front desk was more than happy to let someone pay a full day fee 20 minutes before closing.

Great value, has everything you need. Never tried the classes, wish I had had a chance to.

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

Cliffs: If you want a well rounded workout go somewhere else. If you want to drop your kids off at the pool this is the place for you.

Went here desperately wanting to like it and switch from 24 hour, which has become a crowded nightmare. Unfortunately the Central Park Rec Center was no different. Super crowded (Monday at 4pm) with someone using almost all pieces of equipment. There are mostly machines (and a large variety at that). Free weights area is super small with one set of dumbells in increments of 5 only. 2 benches. Only a few small mirrors scattered around... Why? No place to stretch or do anything not on a machine or bench. Cables in general are somewhat lacking as well (there are some cables but they are cramped and are incremented by 10 so not a ton of flexibility) . No armed cable machines and no seated cable press. Locker rooms are clean and lockers are nice. Showers are all handicap stalls with benches in them? Crowd is typical/stereotypical Stapleton and this place is definitely a family gym. Front desk staff was nice at lease. Again, probably a great family gym, just not for anyone looking to get a good workout.

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

January 21, 2018 23:56

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're trying to swim laps here forget it. You would have a better experience attempting that at WaterWorld on the busiest day of the year. typically only 2 lanes open, always occupied, and the adjacent 'open' section of the pool is crowded with kids and a giant slide dumping water continuously. Ridiculous setup. After 5 months of putting up with it I finally just cancelled my monthly membership, which is a large chore on its own.

October 23, 2017 08:57

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.

October 23, 2017 08:57

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.
