Simply the most outstanding team at Denver Parks & Rec! This amazing customer focused team deserves gold medals!!!Someone needs to tell John Martinez that Tim, Jeanette, Cassie, Randy and Daniel always create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all who come to Carla Madison. The lifeguard team is wonderful and always focused on doing a great job! Max is a standout as are all his teammates.

Reminds me of Cherokee Trails Rec Center in Centennial and it felt like home! Will be back!:) The showers were clean, the pool was perfect, the slide was super cool and my boys loved it! They want to come back for the pool and basketball courts. I felt very safe. The overall appearance and experience of this location is phenomenal! Great job Denver 🫶🏽💪🏽

Great space, with lap pool and leisure pool, climbing wall (hardly ever open), kid watch (it closes randomly without much notice) yoga and fitness studios with classes (usually overcrowded), the basketball court hosts leagues, and the weight room, though well appointed, is super crowded most days, hard to get a bench, rack or machine. That could be remedied if the six people stuck on their phones behind the front counter were directed to enforce the "no cell phone use on machines" rule, which is posted everywhere in the gym. Management is not visible anywhere.

I've been coming here for over a year. This rec center has it all. Lots of cardio and weight equipment, an indoor swimming pool with a "lazy river" and a play area for the kids, a terrific gym and awesome locker rooms. There's also spaces for yoga classes, after school programs for kids and community rooms. And to top it off, there's a rock climbing wall! It's always clean. I've read some people complain about the kids, but I've found them all to be respectful and just doing kid things. Frankly, I enjoy the energy they bring to the atmosphere. This is Denver's premier rec center with everything you could want. Go check it out!
