The Project

The Clear Creek Metropolitan Recreation District completed a remodel and addition to the existing recreation center to meet increased community needs. The improved center provides patrons access to a 25-yard lap pool, a lazy river, a zero-depth pool with children's play features, a remodeled whirlpool and spa, an indoor/outdoor slide, and a sauna.

An extensive selection of free weights and cable weight machines was added, along with selectorized strength and cardio equipment. Increased community gathering spaces provide a much-needed venue in this Colorado mountain community.

The exterior facade and the interior design reflect the local culture of this historic mining center while giving it a modern flair. The central circulation area in the front lobby is designed to look like a mine shaft, complete with a coal cart suspended from the beams.
