Douglas H. Buck Community Recreation Center

Fantastic experience: I think the facilities are awesome. There is a balance of activities for old and young. The basketball courts seem to accomodate all ages and groups and the staff is always curteous. My experience with the life guards is that they are constantly circling the pools keeping a watchful eye on misbehaviour and alert to anyone having problems. They enforce the rules of a five minute rest period for those under 18. They do not allow young children in the hot pool. The depth is clearly marked 5 feet at one end. No diving is allowed regardless. Three kids were immediately asked to leave when they jumped in. The jacuzzi feature of the hot pool is excellent and provides those with lower back pain much relief. The temperatures are just right both the hot temp and the low temp for the lazy river section. The private lockable changing rooms are a great improvement over the more public areas of the past. Great facility and responsive staff.

Fantastic experience: Clean, sanitized, a vast variety of equipment and well kept bathrooms/showers.

Fantastic experience: So blessed to have such a great facility!!

Fantastic experience: This is a great community rec centre. I have been working out, swimming, taking classes, volunteering etc here for 14 years since it opened. It has been kept up to date and does a great job as a community rec centre rather than as a commercial gym. At peak times parking can be an issue but this is rare and typically at the top of the hour when the next class is arriving but the previous one has not finished. Back running near normal after Covid.

Fantastic experience: We have loved having our birthday parties at the buck! Private pool party this weekend was amazing.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing pool. Great family rate of $20. Our kids had a blast in the therapy pool and lazy/high speed river. The lifeguards were friendly and very social. They made it really feel like a friendly neighborhood pool instead of a cold business like some locations. The lifeguards really made the experience great, let us know when the river was open and helping us find all the great features. We will come back often.

Fantastic experience: Great facility! Many options for fitness and super friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: We love the pools & lazy river. There is so much more to really appreciate the scope of their programs. The exercise equipment is usually available and the indoor track is really nice during inclimate weather. Great facility.

Fantastic experience: Love their STARS program. The best hands down!

Fantastic experience: The indoor pool is great! The staff is amazing

Fantastic experience: Just had a little pool time with our 4 year old. She had so much fun

Fantastic experience: I am a caregiver. I take my handicapped client there to use pool. She cannot walk. So swimming is great for her. There is a chair lift to put her in the pool. Lifeguard always on duty. Children and babies welcome. Wonderful place. There is a full gym also.

Fantastic experience: It’s an awesome place there are showers a gym and a pool. I bring my kids here all the time and they love it! I definitely recommend buck!

Fantastic experience: Very very nice facility. Was a pleasure to go there for the American Legion conference today. Everyone commented on how nice and clean the center was thank you thank you!

Positive experience: I would give five stars but... they have a MASSIVE ant infestation. Took my daughter here and we went to use their indoor pool. Set down our towels on a chair and noticed a large amount of ants on the floor. I thought maybe someone had spilled food there. We moved to another set of chairs near the walls and I noticed ants everywhere there also. I looked along the walls and there were just huge trails of ants along all of the outer walls surrounding the pool area. What is even more disturbing is that I contacted the person who is supposed to be supervising that rec center and they did not even bother to get back to me. Definitely won't be going back here.

Fantastic experience: Great place if you are mobility impaired they have a therapy pool that is wonderful. I attend a class there on Wednesday for gentle aqua Plus and Pamela the lady that teaches that is great. The staff at this recreation Center is awesome. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I use a walker and I have found this recreation Center is the most handicap friendly recreation Center there is. The therapy pool is awesome it is very easy to walk into the water they have a ramp going into the water. The handicap Cabana for changing is great. I highly recommend it for someone that has a hard time getting around or is handicapped.

Positive experience: A very pleasant surprise! We were visiting the pool for something to do during a cold day with no school. There were not many other pools available for open swimming during the day so decided to give it a try after seeing they had a lazy river and a few other things we thought would be fun. It was a blast! The lazy river was a lot of fun with multiple routes to take and various hiding places perfect for playing tag. There was also an outdoor hot tub which was also great fun while it was snowing. My only concern is that it probably gets very busy and crowded during normal times since the facility is a little smaller than others we have been to

Fantastic experience: Buck has been my community rec center for years. I can do almost anything here from taking a Hula Hoop class, to Nia, to Aqua Zumba. They have a fantastic children's splash area. Can't wait until I take my granddaughter.

Fantastic experience: Great place my daughter has a hip hop dance class there and I work out while she dances the staff is nice it's very clean and we'll maintained

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, informative employees, extremely clean and well-kept. Douglas H Buck is a beautiful and spacious Rec Center. Excellent for all ages!

Fantastic experience: My Renew membership has been an added plus to my retirement. Buck Center staff is so pleasant. The facility as whole is awesome!! Go just about every day.

Fantastic experience: Great indoor pool area with a fantastic place for kids to walk into the water, slide, play with fountains, etc. They keep the pool water and air very warm, much better than nearby rec centers.

Fantastic experience: Used their pool today. The River was tons of fun. Enjoyed a soak in the outdoor spa.

Fantastic experience: I love it here I highly recommend this place to take the family out for a swim customer service was excellent Thank again Douglas H Buck community......

Fantastic experience: Great recreation center! Clean, well organized, great swimming lessons for kids.

Fantastic experience: Great gym at this location. I don't have children but there's plenty of youth activities. I'll be returning until I'm not longer resident in Littleton.

Fantastic experience: It's a great family recreation center! I love the warm water therapy pool & the kids love the lazy river pool!

Fantastic experience: It has a good size and fun indoor river pool that really kicks your butt in a workout if you swim against the current or with it. And the kids love it and swim in it for hours. There is also a fun section for the little little ones with a tiny slide and water play area. Even though there isn't a big water slide like the Lone Tree indoor pool. I rather go here any chance I can

Fantastic experience: Clean facility with friendly staff. We were there for a volleyball tournament and the gyms were nice with more seating than we usually see at YMCA facilities.

Fantastic experience: I walk my dog there. I haven't used there indoor services but for me it serves as a beautiful and varied lawn area to run my puppy

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility. We had a Birthday party at the pool. It was very reasonably priced and had a nice party room with prizes for the kids.

Fantastic experience: Very nice set up. The kids went swimming an my children loved it there my 2 year old the most. They have a day care put my baby in there for a hour so i can swim an he didn't want to leave he had so much fun

Fantastic experience: Good exercise machines and free weights. The exercise facilities are hardly crowded. Sometimes it's hard to get a lane for swimming. Everything is in great shape.

Fantastic experience: The whole building is fun and eye catching. My family went for a fun get together with friends and are planning a return trip for the pool. We didn't get a chance to go swimming but the pool area looked like so much fun. Walking in, it felt more like a high class hotel then a Rec. Center.

Fantastic experience: If you have kids, the indoor pool here is seriously amazing. A mini indoor lazy river, zero entry area, and a fun little water slide for very young kids. Really fun! They do need to up the temperature a little in the winter - my 3 year old's lips get blue after 10 minutes.

Fantastic experience: Great rec center. The children's day care is wonderful. Ms. Anita is great with the kids. There is a nice variety of classes. My son loves his swiming class and the walking river.

Fantastic experience: The facility is always clean and well maintained. There is plenty of shaded parking and the staff is very friendly. My son and I recently participated in the Canvas and Cookies class. It was so great! We look forward to the next session. Thank you Ms. Jamie!

Fantastic experience: The instructor, Tylyn is FABULOUS! A "special needs" child is in good hands here... He learned a ton in just 30 minutes! He had a smile on his face the whole time! He's so excited for next week!

Fantastic experience: Attended a yoga class here. Class was great! Staff was friendly. Easy to find a parking spot on 6 oclock on a weekday. Win.

Fantastic experience: I love this rec center. The pool is a lot of fun and it offers a lot of other very nice amenities too. The staff is also very kind and helpful. I highly recommend a visit here!

Fantastic experience: One of the best zero-entry public pools in the Littleton / Denver area. Good for the little kiddos (infant on up). Current loop is fun. Also swim lanes and hot tub and therapy pool for adults. Not too loud like some indoor pools. Locker rooms clean and decent. Plenty of parking.

Fantastic experience: Great community recreation center. Friendly staff and a wide variety of equipment and activities. Has swimming lanes, a circulating pool, a wading pool for little kids, a therapy pool, and a hot tub. Also, a gymnasium, indoor running track, weight room, and cardio machines. Meeting rooms and on-site childcare. Can be busy on weekends and during swim lessons. Over all, a really nice facility.

Fantastic experience: We rented a room for a birthday party clean building and bathrooms. Baby changing tables in the men's and women's restrooms. Was a great deal.

Fantastic experience: I went to a Friend's 100th Birthday Party!! The room and Festivities were Just Great!!! She was delighted to see Us and Celebrate with All of Us!!!

Fantastic experience: Nice Rec Center, good Basketball court, and relaxed weight room atmosphere. Haven't been in the pool but there is a lazy river.

Fantastic experience: This Rec Center has everything you'll need to get a good workout. In the front area, most of the equipment is available for getting your "workout" smile going on... Enter the stairs (found in the back) to have access to the Rec Center's track. When I go, I feel good after going the rest of my day. I also sleep well that night, too. Haha!

Fantastic experience: Very clean, great exercise equipment, and the indoor swimming pool is fun for all ages. The only thing I didn't like was the outdoor hot tub was full of kids, but otherwise an awesome facility.

Fantastic experience: This South Suburban Recreational Facility is beautiful. The indoor pool has a water park area for kids. There are also class rooms and a stage (great theater program too).

Fantastic experience: I love taking my daughter here. We have been coming for years. She's 13 and still loves floating along the lazy river and now swimming laps. I like to sit in the corner and read, even though there can be quite a bit of noise from happy kids playing, it's still nice to kick back with a book while she plays. I give it five stars because of how much my daughter loves Buck!
