Douglas H. Buck Community Recreation Center

I only give one star because I have to. The lifeguards are all about 12 years old don't know what they're doing they all have their own rules. Their supervisor stands by them even though they're running a muck. Allowing their friends to come in the back way through the gate and also allowing kids in the therapy pool until somebody says something which is not right that therapy pools for us elderly people that really need it. This place has really gone downhill and I won't be back. It's too bad because it was a great pool also the custodial never puts soap in the dispensers in the restrooms especially in the Cabanas. Do you all not expect people to shower before they get in the pool. This place has went downhill in a big hurry. I just purchased a bunch of punches and I wished I could get my money back what a rip-off this place is.

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.

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.

We've been going to Buck for years primarily to use their pool with our there boys. But today will likely be the last time for a long while. It's a really nice facility but their pool rules are becoming more and more ridiculous for kids. The minimum age to get in their hot tub was recently raised from 6 to 7. Now no one under 7 can get in at any time, even with a parent. The new rule even says not to put your head under water in the hot tub. Seriously? We have to be protected from putting our head under water?? And their "adult swim" break every hour or two also makes no sense. Why would adults need private use of a kids play area and the lazy river? I suspect some paranoid city attorney is behind these rules. Nonetheless, we'll be taking our business somewhere else.

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!

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.

We just left there after having a terrible 15 minute experience. We went in to take our young children swimming. They are avid swimmers (have been swimming independently for over a year and a half, swim in the ocean, snorkeled in the ocean in Hawaii). The water was freezing, the kids are not allowed in any of the warm pools or the hot tubs. The my require you to have kids in flotation devices or constantly be held by an adult if they are 5 or under. So, essentially you have to be in the pool with your kids at all times. If they want to go on their own, the only place they can go is a shallow pool with one baby slide. None of the water features work, so there is nothing for them to do except for the lazy river and you have to be in it with them.Beyond that, the staff was quite rude (when you could get them to look up from the book they were reading) and acted like we were crazy when we asked for our money back.The icing on the cake was when a man walked into the women’s locker room to get paper towels.All in all this place is awful. Wouldn’t waste my time or money going there as a family. Maybe as an adult this place is a decent venue for working out, but it is certainly not a great place for kids – especially when there are so many good rec centers around the city. As for us, we are now driving to the Golden Rec Center where our kids can have fun and play independently.

Great pool, facilities and classes. Starting to show some wear and tear--games usually out of service, dust and rust in some places but clean.

The ABSOLUTE WORST REC CENTER POOL for SCHOOLAGED children!!! No deep end, no diving, the only thing for them to do is a 4ft lazy river!!!DESIGNED for toddlers and the elderly...I WANT MY MONEY BACK!! TO THE RIDGE we go!!!

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!!! 😁🎂🍾🎉🎊 …
