Douglas H. Buck Community Recreation Center

"This is a great place to enjoy with your friends or spouse. Lazy pool is so nice as well as the gym and walk track. Membership needed."

"The kids pool needs to be warmer in the winter or the therapy pool needs better access for kids. The amount of time allowed for kids under 5 is too little if the main pool is kept colder. There's no way for them to warm up. Edit: looks like this has been a common complaint for the 23-24 winter. For families, the pool is cold and it's difficult for kids under 5 to stay warm since they can't use the hot tub. I appreciate the response from the rec center. Still 3 stars."

"Looks fun, IT ISN'T! Not a "community" pool in the slightest. Kids pool/Lazy river was super cold and the sprayers didn't work. Had three kids 6-12 and they were bored after 20 minutes. Only had the lazy river, otherwise the lane pool was for swimmers, the "therapy pool" was only for adults on a Sunday even then they had to be under 4 or over 18 other days and then there's the kiddie pool for babies. They couldn't play with the gobs of pool noodles because some kids had been biting them, adults only. They could play with the water weights. They could only be in the Lazy river. Their hours are about as bad. On a Saturday they have adult swim for 5 hours in the morning and 3.75 for the kids, on a SATURDAY. Seems very geared towards senior citizens, which is fine but kids really are made to feel unwelcome here. Will NOT be back."

"Cold pool, boring features, and expensive. I live in Littleton, yet im out of district so it costs $24 for 2 adults, a 3yr old, and a 1yr old. My 1 yr old lasted 20 minutes in the kids pool before her lips turned purple and she was shaking so bad we had to leave. My 3 yr old also had purple lips and was complaining about the temp. Lots of other kids in there shaking as well. Asked the life guard, he said the temp was 81. An appropriate temp range for kids 5 and under is 84-91. Also, there's 1 main slide that is tiny. It's meant for really little kids, but was overran by bigger kids because there's nothing else for them to do. I won't be returning."

"Left after 30 minutes. I was told I couldn’t use my baby’s floaty because it was an air one, but they didn’t even provide infant life jackets or infant foam floaties. The pool was also freezing. A staff member recommended I take my baby to the other pool because it was warmer. Then I was kicked out of that pool by a different staff member because children weren’t allowed in that one. Not kid friendly."
