  • Why is an Aquatic and Recreation Center important to our Region?
A recreation and aquatic center will be a community hub for healthy living. It will offer a place to go and build connections while engaging with like-minded people.
Children, seniors, families, and organizations will benefit from programs and opportunities offered in a facility that will be a beacon of pride. 

Our recreation and aquatic center will attract visitors and support the recruitment of new families and professionals to fill critical roles, resulting in a thriving and prosperous community. 

Simply stated, everyone will reap the benefits of a recreation and aquatic center!

Our Vision Statement:
We're an independent citizen group dedicated to improving the quality of life in our community by creating a wide array of wellness opportunities.
As such, we're committed to envisioning and financing, in collaboration with local agencies, a recreation center to benefit the greater Royal Gorge Region. This Royal Gorge Regional Aquatics and Recreation Center will provide opportunities for recreation, fitness, wellness, and community connectedness to local citizens of all ages, and visitors to our community.

We believe a recreation center to be vital to the continued economic development of the Royal Gorge Region, serving the following purposes;
  • As a meeting place for people of all ages who share a focus on health and wellness.
  • As an aquatic center to promote the physical benefits of water sports that can also attract and host competitions that attract outside visitors.
  • As a provider of health education classes and community awareness.
  • As a provider of a variety of programs to meet an array of individual and group needs.
  • As a family-focused institution, comfortable and welcoming to people of all ages and backgrounds.
  • As a fitness center promoting and supporting a mix of physical activities native to our region, such as river sports, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and running.
  • As a tool to attract visitors and support the recruitment of new families and professionals to fill critical roles in our community.
  • As a broker of health and wellness partnerships with the local medical providers, school districts, and businesses.
  • As a training center for local law enforcement, fire protection, and correctional staff.
