The Paul Derda Recreation Center

Love love love this place. Fun for all ages. They have an indoor playground, multiple slides in the pool, a decent gym/workout area and a gymnastics area.

This is a wonderful facility. Everyone I've had the pleasure of interacting with has been so helpful and kind. My kiddo took swim lessons at Paula Derda. We had our daughters 10th birthday party here. It was so fun and so perfect. We rented the party room big enough for 50 people. It had a kitchen in it and plenty of tables. The pool has 2 slides and a small lazy river. The kids all gad a blast. 10/10 we will definitely be going again. Birthday party destination for sure.

Great indoor pool option after the outdoor pools close for the year, and they are open late for working folks. Locker rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff at the front desk were very nice. Lots of tables inside and out for eating your picnic lunch.

Rock climbing, swimming, gym, basketball... the only downfall is that Yelp won't allow Check-Ins because the point of navigation shows a '?' Mark on the map. Kudos to anyone who was able to Check-In. But I've been here a generous amount of time, using the gym for an hour and then the best of the best can be experienced when you take a dip in the hot tub, hidden on the side of the nostalgic pool. The rec center offers monthly memberships, but we had to decline because two adults were $50 a month-- though I can't say $40 for 24 Fitness is better either.

I've seen treadmills, yoga mats, helmets, lots of showers and plenty resources for being active within the Rec center, being big and all. I love the gym, it's great. It's fun. Lots of families go here so it's not possible to NOT find something to do. I love the mini river that pulls you in the water and circles you around the pool around the rocky trail, because it's an eye opening experience. There are lots of slides and a toddler water park with lots of sprinklers and bath toys. Next to the fun of it, there are swimming classes taking place. Upstairs you have the yoga and working out, the rock climbing wall is HUGE!

The pool also has lots of locker rooms- spacey locker rooms with family changing rooms that come with a quick shower room, sink and mini bathroom. Definitely worth it.

The front desk ladies here are some of the rudest people I have met. They yell at 18 year old girls and treat them like children all because they want to use a space there... do not waste your time GO TO WESTMINSTER REC OR BROOMFIELD COMMUNITY CENTER. Those employees are much kinder!!! Never coming back even though it's right by my house.

This place is HUGE! Very reasonable rates for resident/non residents to use the facility. There's a gym with so many neat equipment that I've never seen before like a half-tire flip, rock climbing, Children's play place, story time area, arts and crafts and an indoor pool complete with water slides and lazy river.

It was really crowded since it's summertime and there were a lot of camp kids there. The facility in itself is great. It's just the fact my son picked up a band aid from the pool really irks me. I know it could've been recent but still, it's gross.

We just visited the pool for the first time and it was a lot of fun. They also enjoyed visiting the playground afterward. I really like that the kids can play in more shallow water without constantly having to be held. Love it being indoors where you don't have to worry about the cold or sunscreen.

I took my daughter here recently to go swimming and what a hidden gem! This is a great recreation center for children of all ages. My daughter and I had a blast with the two slides, lazy river and 25ft swimming pool! The water was refreshing yet warm. They also have a lane for laps open and a nice swimming area for the younger kiddos too! I definitely recommend this rec center if you have kids who want to go swimming year round.
Tip: The blue slide you use a tube; yellow slide is no tube

I'm very impressed with the PDRC. We moved to Broomfield last year but our first visit was just a few days ago. I've had memberships to a few fitness clubs over the years and always ended up canceling them due to the prices and overcrowding, not to mention broken machines never being fixed (hello 24 Hr Fitness back in Fountain Valley, CA!).

I really like that with PDRC you can opt for a daily drop in rate, a "punch card"good for multiple visits, or an annual membership. This makes it really easy to check out what they have to offer without having to commit to anything or spend a lot of money. Their membership fees don't have some insane initiation fee like most fitness clubs (in fact, there is zero initiation fee!). If you're a Broomfield resident you get a discount. There are special prices for couples and family memberships too.

The entire facility looks so clean. They have spray bottles of disinfectant and towels all over the cardio and weight areas to wipe down machines. I also saw a few employees cleaning the machines when I was there. Restrooms and locker rooms were clean as well.

So far I've only used the cardio, weight, and indoor track areas. Eventually I will try a class and the pool. The pool looks more geared for kids and swim lessons, as they have limited space and times available for lap swim. There is a schedule posted so I'm sure I could work around that.

There's also a gym for basketball, etc. and a gymnastics room which looks like it's available for private lessons only. There's a rock climbing wall that I'm sure my husband will enjoy bouldering on soon. Free WiFi is a great touch as well. They have some vending machines downstairs with healthier choices too.

Employees seem to be very welcoming and helpful to newcomers like us. I'm really excited that I found a great alternative to a typical gym... one that is sparkling clean and offers so much for such a good price. This is another reason why Broomfield is a great place to live!

I have always been very happy with PDRC. There is a great selection of group classes at a variety of times that work well with my schedule (Susan is an amazing body pump instructor). The facilities are kept really clean and I never have to worry about broken equipment that isn't taken care of quickly. The kids classes are amazing and I feel like my kids are safe and always have a lot of fun. I do wish it was open earlier on Saturday though.
