FAQs

Most of the Recreation Center will remain open during construction, with some amenities and areas closed as work progresses. However, from Nov. 30, 2026, through Jan. 1, 2027, the facility will be temporarily closed to drop-in use while crews complete major demolition and utility upgrades. All previously scheduled programs and classes will either continue in designated areas of the Recreation Center or relocate to Malley Recreation Center. The facility is expected to reopen for drop-in use Jan. 2, 2027, while construction continues.

The renovation includes updated men’s, women’s and universal/family locker rooms, a new lift to bring patrons to the second level, updated pool gutter tile and surface deck, a new kids slide, new hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna. The facility will also get new hallway flooring and updated restrooms. 

The Family Locker Room, now renamed the Universal Locker Room, is being relocated next to the other locker rooms to make it more convenient for all users. The space will continue to serve families with children, individuals who need assistance from a caregiver, and anyone who prefers additional privacy. The term “Universal” simply means the locker room is available to anyone who needs it.

No. The pool depth will not change as part of this project. The pool will receive new gutter tile and other improvements to the surrounding area.

During the design phase, the project team hoped to keep the pool open during construction. Once a general contractor was selected and construction plans were finalized, it became clear that keeping the pool open would create safety concerns for patrons.

Closing the pool for the duration of construction also reduces the overall project schedule by several months. In addition, Arapahoe County health regulations require shower facilities for pool operations. Because the locker rooms and shower facilities are being renovated, the pool cannot operate during construction.

At the start of the project, we expected the track route to need modification. However, after further evaluation and field investigation, we determined that the track can remain open and operate as a complete loop throughout the project. The track will be temporarily closed from Nov 30 to Jan 1. 

Racquetball courts 3 and 4 will serve as temporary men's and women's changing areas during construction. Restrooms are also available near the front desk.

The project is expected to be complete in summer 2027.
