Ridge Recreation Center & Indoor Pools

Great local Rec center. We take swimming class in their inside pool (which is nice in the winter). We take dance classes. We play in their playground that has a zip line! Adult massages in their health center across the street. And even summer camps with field trips to more places than I’ve been to. Oh and if you live in the district there’s a Discount for all of these activities.

I love this Recreation Center. It says no food, but they let you bring in a giant picnic into the family swimming area. It’s great for kids, they love it, there’s two slides one of them is usually open. Everyone there is pretty friendly and I would recommend it for a get together.

The pool is great here for adults and little kids. I gave it 4 stars because when my son was about 3 or so he was in swimming lessons and the instructor was not nice to him at all (I thought it might be me being overprotective so I had a couple of others come watch his swim lessons and they agreed the instructor was mean to him) I talked to a supervisor though and they had a talk with the instructor and after that he was much nicer to my son.

Great park with a zip line!
They also have an indoor pool with a giant slide, lazy river and diving pool.
Not to mention Racket Ball Courts, basketball and climbing wall… with a full gym.
Colorado’s finest!

Awesome indoor pool open year-​round. There’s an activity pool with zero-​depth entry and plenty of features for the littlest to the biggest kids to play on. There’s also a lazy river that’s very fun and popular. There is also a lap and diving pool but I’ve never used those features.
(There are also various other non-​pool facilities on-​site, but this review just pertains to the activity pool.)
Most of the lifeguards seem attentive and not overly bossy. They are young as hell, clearly all teenagers, but they seem to have good attitudes toward their work.
Cons:
They teach swim lessons in the activity pool for a couple of hours on a couple of weeknights (currently M and W), and so the pool is crowded with those groups. Also during the lessons, all the fun water activities are disabled (I guess to reduce the distractions that might otherwise disturb the lessons?) for a few hours. Bummer.
I do think that the temps they maintain in there, both the ambient out-​of-​the-​water temperature as well as the pool water itself can be excessively warm. Might be very very nice in winter but it’s hardly refreshing in summertime.
EXPENSIVE. $ 5.25 for kids; $ 7.25 for adults. It costs almost twenty bucks for our little family of 3 to go swimming for 90 minutes.
Dirty! There is hair everywhere. There are family changing rooms that are like mini cabanas, equipped with a shower stall, toilet/​sink, and small bench. The rooms are tile and the floors are, predictably, wet all the time. Each room is has a drain in the middle of the floor — why aren’t the employees in there once per hour rinsing the floor to get rid of the hair? It is so disgusting it almost makes me not want to go back.
Also lots of hair in the pool all the time.
