Silverthorne Recreation Center

Great facility! Only used the lap pool, but the rest of the facilities seemed spacious and clean. Not too crowded on a Sunday morning. Very large locker room. Nice front desk staff.

Nice, large facility. We came by after camping to use the showers ($ 6 per person with towel). Soap from a dispenser is in each stall. Bring your own soap and shampoo. Most shower stalls have no privacy curtain, however

With the coupon on their website my family of 8 spent 5 hours swimming here for just $ 40. The play pool, the water slide pool, and the deep pool are all very warm so you can enjoy swimming even on a cold day. The lap pool is cooler, which people swimming laps generally prefer.
The changing rooms are clean with plenty of lockers.
We also appreciated the tables upstairs so we could take a break and eat lunch, then go back to swimming. Access is for the whole day, so get a stamp go enjoy the outdoor park and come back in for more fun later.
A great family experience.

I’ve several bad experiences with this place. Their customer service sucks. The locker rooms are so humid and hot its disgusting. I have to mention how wet everything is in the locker room, the floors are always soaked, the bottoms of the lockers are soaked, there is hair stuck to everything, its really gross. There are also little girls running around screaming in there almost anytime of the day. Clearly the biggest draw for this place is the kid friendly pool.
The fitness classes are all geared towards the 55+ crowd, i am often by far the youngest person at them and Im 33. I have no problem with older people mind you, but the classes could stand to be more challenging.
The front desk people are never helpful and answer direct questions vaguely, «when does my month end?» «Oh, dont worry you have a few days» then on the day it expires… dont expect them to tell you, I mean, its not their job, right? You showing up the next day to work out, without your wallet because you have no idea when your month is over, isnt their problem, they were clear about that. I love having my time wasted, dont you?
If the breck rec center isnt too far our of your way, I recommend it over this one any day.

Can we say, «Meat Market»?

Great place for the kids to go. The pool is super kid friendly. The weight room is small, but the equipment upstairs is ok. The running track is a nice touch. Did I say great place for the kids. The pool area is fantastic. The kids will need two hours for sure.

Overall, the equipment and services are phenomenal. The problem I run into going during the evenings (and taking an 11 year old along) are there are actually too many pre-​planned activities going on.
Recently, we tried playing basketball and got shoed away for a volleyball game. Then we went swimming (which was mostly not too crowded), but we «got in the way» of swim classes fairly frequently. They kept switching pools! After sitting on the wrong chairs (they were for the massage appointments and the employee was actually closing up for the night??), my little mentee was starting to feel unwelcome and I had to explain to her we just picked a «busy» night to go. I know from previous visit though, it is always that busy.
Not sure if there is a good way to fix this problem, as too much business is a good problem to have. I just wish we didn’t feel so «in the way.»

If you are on vacation with or without kids and it rains all day — the outdoors is not your first choice for fun. Head to the Rec Center and the swimming pools. They have a great water slide, a smaller water shute, a large paddling pool for the little ones and adults who don’t want to swim plus a regular 50m pool with 3 lanes for lappers and area for water volleyball. The staff are super friendly. The changing rooms are well laid out, but FYI you need your own lock if you want to secure belongings. The pools don’t have the overpowering smell of chlorine which is good ?
I didn’t use any of the other facilities there, just the pool. And a good time was had by my kid who didn’t want to get out, even after 2 hours, so I reckon it was a hit.

Everything one would want from a gym. Very clean. Full of children’s laughter from the kid section. Well supervised by both parents and staff. Excellent pool, steam room and sauna.

A great facility. Kids pools are warm and big. Changing facilities are modern and very clean.
Most hotels have a token book that gives you $ 2 off entry, every dollar counts.

We spent 2 hours of a cool rainy day during our vacation having a blast at this place with our toddler. The pool facility is actually 3 separate pools: a toddler pool, a deep pool, and a lap pool, which serves to separate various types of users quite well.. The pools are wonderful for all ages, but especially for younger kids. The shallow pool is huge, has a toddler sized slide, and is WARM! The big water slide is fun for all ages — my toddler daughter went down about a dozen times with me. There’s also an indoor and outdoor hot tub.
The rest of the facility seemed quite nice, but we didn’t use it. It appeared to have a nice sized weight room. It also had a large basketball court, sauna and steam room.
If I were local, I’m sure I’d use this facility quite often. As a one-​day vacation diversion, I’d definitely recommend it as well.
