We've got some great recommendations to try, like feeding your creative spirit, escaping the hustle and bustle of the city in our parks and nature centers like South Platte Park and The Hudson Gardens & Event Center, or sweating and stretching in our fitness classes.

Staff have been working hard the last few days during Maintenance Week at Goodson Recreation Center in City of Centennial! 🛠️🧼 Big changes are underway in the cardio/weight room, which will have new flooring, a new floorplan, and new equipment by the time it reopens Sept. 12. All sidewalks, floors and stairs have all been power washed or scrubbed by hand. The pool was deep cleaned and refilled yesterday, all weights and equipment have been cleaned, display shelves in the lobby are restocked and our Preschool classrooms have been rearranged and reorganized. We look forward to welcoming everyone back inside tomorrow! Shoutout to our employees at Lone Tree, Buck, and Goodson rec centers for their efforts to deep clean and upgrade our facilities this month. While they get a week away from their regular job duties, these weeklong closures require a lot of physical labor, planning and teamwork from our people and we couldn't do it without them!
