      Rock climbing, swimming, gym, basketball... the only downfall is that Yelp won't allow Check-Ins because the point of navigation shows a '?' Mark on the map. Kudos to anyone who was able to Check-In. But I've been here a generous amount of time, using the gym for an hour and then the best of the best can be experienced when you take a dip in the hot tub, hidden on the side of the nostalgic pool. The rec center offers monthly memberships, but we had to decline because two adults were $50 a month-- though I can't say $40 for 24 Fitness is better either.

      I've seen treadmills, yoga mats, helmets, lots of showers and plenty resources for being active within the Rec center, being big and all. I love the gym, it's great. It's fun. Lots of families go here so it's not possible to NOT find something to do. I love the mini river that pulls you in the water and circles you around the pool around the rocky trail, because it's an eye opening experience. There are lots of slides and a toddler water park with lots of sprinklers and bath toys. Next to the fun of it, there are swimming classes taking place. Upstairs you have the yoga and working out, the rock climbing wall is HUGE!

      The pool also has lots of locker rooms- spacey locker rooms with family changing rooms that come with a quick shower room, sink and mini bathroom. Definitely worth it.

      I was treated with complete disrespect and unprofessionalism by Lexxa who is supposesly a supervisor. Lexxa completely embarrased herself and made a spectacle over my son in a stroller. I can see why she works where she does, couldn't cut it in the real world. This is what you get for minimum wage.

      Apparently she has some anger issues and feels inferior. Hopefully she gets some help and a new job.

      She should be fired. Stay away from this place!

      I will be contacting the director and mayor of Broomfield.

      Broomfield is lucky to have an affordable rec center with a lot of amenities!

      Pool, strength/weight area, reformer pilates room, aerobics and yoga rooms, walking track, children's play area, basketball, gymnastics... This rec center has it all! I pay a monthly membership of $35ish which gives me full access to the rec center **and** also the Broomfield Community Center!

      Ample parking and flexible hours as well. I would give 5 stars, but on occasion, the weight room is very warm (thanks to the large windows that face the mountains).

      My kids take swim classes at the rec center and it has been great. the facilities are clean and the swim instructors are friendly. Our kids also love the child watch childcare area. They look forward to going there every Saturday! Love that there are services for everyone, young, older and in between!

      This is a wonderful facility. Everyone I've had the pleasure of interacting with has been so helpful and kind. My kiddo took swim lessons at Paula Derda. We had our daughters 10th birthday party here. It was so fun and so perfect. We rented the party room big enough for 50 people. It had a kitchen in it and plenty of tables. The pool has 2 slides and a small lazy river. The kids all gad a blast. 10/10 we will definitely be going again. Birthday party destination for sure.

      Great indoor pool option after the outdoor pools close for the year, and they are open late for working folks. Locker rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff at the front desk were very nice. Lots of tables inside and out for eating your picnic lunch.

      This place is HUGE! Very reasonable rates for resident/non residents to use the facility. There's a gym with so many neat equipment that I've never seen before like a half-tire flip, rock climbing, Children's play place, story time area, arts and crafts and an indoor pool complete with water slides and lazy river.

      It was really crowded since it's summertime and there were a lot of camp kids there. The facility in itself is great. It's just the fact my son picked up a band aid from the pool really irks me. I know it could've been recent but still, it's gross.

      We just visited the pool for the first time and it was a lot of fun. They also enjoyed visiting the playground afterward. I really like that the kids can play in more shallow water without constantly having to be held. Love it being indoors where you don't have to worry about the cold or sunscreen.
