Sage Recreation Center is the rec center for the residents of the retirement community of Sun City…read moreFestival in Buckeye, AZ. I guess the senior citizens of Buckeye aren't as active on Yelp, so I am happy to be the first to review it as it really needs acknowledging ;) As a guest of a resident here, I am able to get a guest pass for this recreation center to use the gym and pool area for $3 a day. This is such a deal. The gym has weights, treadmills, eliptical machines, weight machines, etc. It opens at 5:30 a.m. which I took advantage of as I am an early riser and want to get a work out in before it becomes 100 degrees outside here. It has nice locker rooms with showers, lockers, sauna, bathrooms and entrance to their spa and massage area. While the gym is a nice facility, the pool area is what really stands out here. I was told that it was large and had a hot tub and lots of areas to lounge. That really does not do it justice. It is an awesome facility. There is one ginormous pool that is separated into a lap pool area, where pool volleyball games are also conducted at times and exercise classes, I believe, also. This pool area connects to the other pools which include a shaded area with bench seating for lounging in the pool, the large main pool area by the flowing water fountain coming from the huge hot tub above and there is a lazy river area to the side where you can float along happily. There are several areas surrounding the pool with reclining deck chairs and tables and chairs with umbrellas. Since this is a retirement complex, there are set hours for children to use the pool from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The deepest part of this pool is 5'8" which only spans a small portion of this huge pool. The majority of the depth is 3'6" deep for safety reasons for the residents and guests, I would assume. It is salt water/chlorine maintained, so buoyancy is easy here and as a lot of the pool is pretty shallow, I floated around on my back alot through the areas of the pool. There are strong jets along the perimeter of a lot of the pool, so you can be carried around quite easily. There are noodles available outside of the pool for floatation aid, if you desire. The concierge and check-n staff here at the rec center are very nice. As a guest, you are required to show your guest pass and ID when you check in to use the facilities here. A special shout out to Kay at the check-in desk, who is always so pleasant, kind and helpful when we have checked in here. You can buy a chilled bottle of water here for $1, also, at the check-in desk, if you want one. Sage Recreation Center is such a wonderful facility for the residents here at Sun City Festival in Buckeye but also a great one for guests of the residents to take advantage of, also, at the very reasonable guest pass rate!

There is a convenient snack area. They offer swim lessons and swim teams for older kids. There are many awesome experiences we had here with movie nights, holiday parties and watching fireworks. You can even have a birthday party here. They just custome painted the front of the building. It was so much fun to watch them paint it while visiting the park. There is plenty of free parking. Check out their website for hours, fees, classes and events.

Located on the Peoria High School campus, off Cholla Rd and 83rd Avenue. It is hard to see if you don't keep your eyes peeled, It is on the western side of 83rd. Watch for signs especially if you are going after sundown. However, they have more public pool hours and is still a good place to cool off the summer. Open for public swim from 12 noon to 5 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, 12-3 pm and 7:30-9:30 pm, Mondays through Fridays. Be warned, if there aren't enough people swimming half and hour to closing time, they are known to send their lifeguards and staff home and close early. The price is $4 for adults $2 for children. They usually have one lane open for lap swim. However, if there are more than two people wanting to do laps, ask the lifeguards, and they are happy to open another lane.
