My husband and I came to play pickle and had a poor experience and would reccomend others not to go…read moreunfortunately. We found an empty court and began a simple singles game--nothing disruptive, just enjoying the space that was clearly available. The courts are first come first serve per the Thornton Rec Center Employees and website. Moments later, an older woman came over and rudely told us that singles play wasn't allowed and we needed to play doubles. Not only was her tone unnecessarily harsh, but she insisted it was a "rule," despite there being no signage or clear policy anywhere stating that singles games were prohibited. If there is an empty court, people should be able to play how they want. The courts are supposed to be first come, first serve, but it seems like a group of older regulars have taken it upon themselves to control who plays, how, and when. It felt more like we were intruding on their private club than participating in a community activity at a public facility. We're all for shared use and following actual posted rules, but this kind of gatekeeping is exactly what drives new players and younger participants away. It was a really disappointing and unwelcoming experience. They need to make it so these courts are reserved. Otherwise the other facilities are great! There is tennis courts, bocce ball , a splash pad, horseshoe pits and great walking paths.

We had a pickleball tournament schedule for this day…read more Tournament scheduled for 8a. Did not start on time. Coordinator wasn't ready. Having entry issues and program issues. 8a meant start time. Late players were allowed to play. Late is late and should not be able to play. No tournament board for players to follow. Coordinator used a computer and had to yell to the group, who was playing and where. Play on court 3 was dark. Construction had lights off. Ball hard to see! The coordinator mentioned that the next tournament for January, there would be 2 categories. Intermediate and advanced for more competitive play. Someone suggested a beginner and intermediate. Pickleball has a system that categorizes a player. Maybe that should be considered for the next tournament. Post the levels in the gym for players to know their progression. https://sl.bing.net/eTsBcH1XbMG

I only went swimming there so haven't seen all of the center but I did see the swimming area and…read morelocker rooms. The locker rooms were pretty typical they did have a free swimsuit/towel dryer (not just a hand dryer) which was awesome I hadn't ever seen that! The ground in the locker room was very dirty and so were the bathroom stalls but I wasn't too shocked. The slide was closed when we went but the pool was good, Was lots of fun we went when it wasn't super busy but there was enough from to play games and swim freely. There were floating boards (kinda like a boogie board but not?) which we were allowed to use and the lifeguard working was very kind & fun, Made a few jokes and chatted a bit. Overall pretty average rec center pool, The little kiddie water playground was also very good. Right across the parking lot there is a larger park to hang out at after swimming!

Once in while DPR does a kids night out you can drop your kid under 14 here they can play and go nuts on a Friday night with other kids from the neighborhood. its $5 dollars and is worth it to get a breath of sanity from the kids for 3 hours! Overall its a good place to hit for a workout, they have aerobics a nice pool and a nice weight room all for once again the fraction of the cost of the national chain workout meat markets.

This review is specifically for the layout of the weights on the second floor. More specifically,…read morethe location of the bench press (2) and incline bench (1). The position of the two bench presses and incline bench are pushed up against the wall on the East side of the building. Right where the steel reinforcement beams are located which leaves NO space to safely spot your partner without hitting your head or back on one of those beams. You cannot even get behind them without crawling around the weights or beams themselves. This is incredibly dangerous and a major safety issue. Whomever designed the layout of the weight room does not appear to have experience with weight training. The nautilus machines and free weight areas should probably be switched. There is nowhere to safely stretch (people do it under the stairs) or do ab exercises, box jumps, etc. Someone, with knowledge of weight training, should redesign the space for efficiency and safety.

I've been going to this rec center for about a year now & I love it! This is a regional rec center…read morethat not only offers classes, workout equipment & a gym but it also has basketball, pickle ball, volleyball & an indoor pool with a lazy river. This facility has a wall of huge windows with a beautiful view of the mountains. It's kept up & clean. There's always plenty of parking...there are even charging stations for electric vehicles. Note, membership is free for Denver residents that are 60+ & those ages 5-18. With membership you have access to all 30 Denver rec centers & pools. I regularly go to two classes - one is a Cardio & Strength class & the other is Tai Chi, both are drop-in. The instructors are fun & very knowledgeable. Christine teaches the cardio class & always demonstrates modifications, so it's perfect for all levels of fitness. Maureen is very well versed in Tai Chi as well. This is a fantastic center with fabulous instructors.

My wife, myself, and our 6-month baby were swimming laps (yes, laps in an infant flotation device)…read morein the lap pool lane when the lifeguard asked us to leave it for someone who 'actually wants to swim laps.' We explained that we are also swimming laps and we don't understand why we need to leave the lane for someone else who wants to do the same. The lifeguard told us the ~50 y/o man was rude to her, so she felt pressured to do so. We settled on splitting the lap pool into two sides (even though we are literally 3 people and he is 1). The guy didn't like that very much and he stood against the wall at one end of the pool for a while looking upset. When we swam to the end of the pool he was on, he forcefully splashed down into the water to send it into my baby son's face and made him gasp for breath and start crying. A male lifeguard witnessed this and went for help. When the manager arrived, she insisted that we leave the lane and when we refused, she asked that we instead continue 'sharing' the lap pool lane with the guy who assaulted our child. The best part is the first time we wanted to go swimming in Broomfield, we arrived at the other facility that has strictly lap pools and therapy pools and they suggested WE GO ELSEWHERE because it's NOT FOR BABIES. Ok then why does the 50 y/o creep get to come to the kids pool and demand we exit the lane? Thanks for being just another place in Colorado that hates babies. We are disgusted by the manager response. If you have an issue here, dial 911, cause no one is going to help you. Even when you go to a place built for children, they will act like they're worthless and an inconvenience to others. Review your policies.
