State-of-the-art recreation center featuring a heated indoor pool, a hot tub and a climbing wall.
The indoor lap pool is typically maintained at 81-83° F, the indoor leisure pool is kept at a warmer 85-87° F, and the hot tub provides a soothing experience at 102-104° F.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Rec Center receives mixed feedback, with many appreciating its general facilities, including pools, a running track, gym equipment, and child-friendly areas. However, significant complaints revolve around the lap pool schedule, where most lanes are often reserved for swim teams in the afternoons and evenings, limiting public access. There are also strong criticisms regarding accessibility for disabled individuals, citing insufficient signage for accessible bathrooms and long waits for changing rooms due to non-disabled patrons, with management perceived as unresponsive. Additionally, some reviewers feel the center is overpriced given the frequent unavailability of services like pool lanes or saunas, and crowded hot tubs.
Reviews
While we love the facilities at this Rec Center, the lap pool schedule has gotten to be too frustrating/impractical. A majority of the lanes are reserved all afternoon and evening for various swim teams, leaving all other lap swimmers to share 1-2 lanes. Keep this in mind if you are someone who prefers lap swimming in the evenings after work.
The management doesn't care about the rights of the disabled. There are 2 bathrooms that are setup to deal with he needs of the disabled and the signage is not large enough and in the correct location for people to read. I have included a pic of the signage at the bathroom along with a notice that the Lap pool will be closed. The document about the Lap pool is a full sheet with large lettering including Attention. I have asked numerous times including comment cards and emails to the City. This place was great before I became disabled, now I have to wait up to 30 minutes to change for families that aren't disabled and when I ask they had no idea about this. BE BETTER WHEAT RIDGE!!!!
Great facility with lots of pools, running track and many strengthening machines along with cardio equipment. Even has a fireplace up.front for.cold days in a living room setting as you first walk in!
Wheat ridge is a great area for your kids they have at little hares and slide for toddlers and infants;) they have a lap and diving area. they have so many amazing things and staff are very nice! i definitely recommend $
Like most services in this city, the rec center has become way over priced while the services plummet. This place is funded by our taxes but they have the audacity to charge you $10 and then tell you 3/4 of the pool lanes are reserved, the sauna is closed and there are about 30 people in the hot tub. Super disappointing
