I've been to a lot of rec centers for a hot shower while camping and this place impressed me. $3 for a shower with a free large towel, and the facility is very nice and clean. Friendly staff to boot!

Magnificent resource for the community. Special shout out to Ms Jasmine. She is so especially warm and welcoming.

Very nice medium sized rec. center in Cortez. It has a decent sized weight room, racket ball, activity rooms, swimming pools, pool tables and a climbing wall, plus much more. We came for the showers, and were very impressed with how clean and well maintained the locker rooms and family shower areas were. The use of just the showers is $3 and a day pass is only $6. We interacted with three of the staff members and they were all very polite and helpful.

First time there. We came out with scraps on our knuckles and toes and arms. The swimming pool floor is not smooth at all. Just from swimming my little brother scrapped the top of his toes twice from the kiddie section. Prob not so funn

Anthony is a great spin class instructor, the front desk staff is friendly!! I wish there was a sauna and hot tub though, I would donate if there was a fundraising for those. I like this rec center though, it has excellent prices for everything thank you!!
