Wheat Ridge Recreation Center

My 19 year old little sister passed away about 5 years ago. She worked here. They were so kind to put out a bench, tree, rock and flowers to honor my sister. Absolutely beautiful. The actual center is nice as well. The swimming pool is fun. Great staff. Would reccomend!!!

My family needed a space to celebrate my little sister’s life, and my mom suggested the Wheat Ridge Rec Center. From the very beginning, it felt warm, welcoming, and just right for bringing everyone together. We were expecting at least 50 guests and felt comfortable reserving both the Columbine and Dahlia rooms to accommodate more. Even without the kitchen, the setup worked beautifully. We arranged nine round tables along with a few rectangular tables for snacks, and added extra seating along the back. We also included a projector and screen to share photos of her life, which brought everyone closer as we shared. What unfolded was truly special. More than 80 people came together—family, friends, and community—to honor her, share memories, and celebrate her spirit. Katie, thank you for helping us plan such a meaningful gathering and for easing some of the stress during such a heartbreaking time. It meant more than we can say. ❤️

Showers dispense only cool water. Not ideal after a cool water swim. Happy to pay more for a hot shower after a workout. Especially on a cold day. They must fix this. Choose elsewhere.
