I love the outdoor skating rink however the trash cans are not emptied as they should be and the odor of dog feces is awful on the south side. The rink could also use a good blow out of debris or the visitor can bring their own broom/dustpan. It would be nice to have some night lights for the evening time since the park is open later. Its a very smooth rink people just need to be more mindful of their trash. The bench is also very splintery so bring a blanket or just be careful.

Had a great time at the dog swimThis is the second year we have gone.

It was amazing. We walked around the small park with our cairn terrier and had it all to ourselves.

Just used the therapy pool. Its great (90°) if your muscles ache or have other health issues. Also personal trainer available for a fee. Not open completely yet.

Love the Dog Swim they put on at the end of the year.

Fair pricing. Good, clean facilities. Warmer outdoor pool water is amazing for the younger kids and parents. ;) Lots of shaded options for seating. Smaller tube slides arent wet so hard to go down.

Good to see it back up and running!

Really easy to sign in as a kid. Me and my friends love going! The new center has a lot to offer which makes it even better! The lifeguards make sure your always safe and having fun!

Its Cool a little small but its ok

I wish we had Apex in Wisconsin.

So happy apex cane her because the swim pool for kids and my family make it so easier to watch animals and kids to have fun!!

Nice location. Pool is decent sized. About 50/50 shade to sun for sitting. Recently renovated.

Beautiful new rec center. Love the gym.

Havent been here in a while but when I last went it was fabulous

Great place for those in need of a little r and r

Turned out to be a perfect place for a party with kids!

Completely renovated, and nice! Be nice to the lifeguards - theyre there for your safety!

Got signed up for gym equipment and wellness pool use YAY!

Wonderful center, very clean, staff is friendly and helpful, plus everything is new... love it

Great place to take your kids. People that go here are a little rude. Great family environment. Good for adults or teens because of the 10 ft pool

After they rebuilt it in 2018, its amazing! Great facilities, and great staff!

Charge you $5 to use their court and then kick you off less than an hour later. There are better, less pretentious teen centers out there.

Arvada has outstanding recreational facilities. The weight room could use more equipment specifically for weight lifters.

Nice Gym, lots for teens to do. Welcoming people.

Masters swimming there is great durring the summer. Great bunch of people. 6pm Tue and Thu and 6:30am Sat. Thats when I swim but more times are available.Swimming laps at noon can be challenging with the current from the water slide.

The only place where I know where there’s an outdoor in-line hockey rink, need to fix the netting though

Its great, just what my elderly mother needs for her failing health

First time to this facility. Rules are not posted and we were promptly corrected for allowing our son in the pool with a float vest. When asked where this rule is communicated, the life guard openly admitted that it wasnt, and that they do a horrible job of communicating this rule. I wish this was communicated so we could be prepared before coming and give us the option to be informed and choose another facility that our son could enjoy.

Really nice facility. Clean, nice staff.

The staff could be better

Good place to take the kids. They seem to spend a mountain of money to remodel every 3 or 4 years. Tax dollars going to waste.

Beautiful little water park, great for kids. Relaxing place

We come here for swimming lessons every summer. The instructors are wonderful with the kids.

I love the wellness pool

Beautiful facility with a wonderful 94 degree therapy pool

We went for the end of season dog swim, and it was a blast. Seems like a nice pool, with lots of fun stuff to do and play with.

Nice family pool teen Center building a new outdoor playground outdoor hockey rink and basketball and volleyball pit

It says it is open all summer but then it opens in June and then closes in early August. Besides that it is really fun.

This place is an excellent place to go for a swim in the summer and just to hang out at any time of the year

Their mindless rules make the pool at Secrest Park one of the dumbest public pools on the planet. Dont even bother coming here unless your child is at least 6 and can swim without a life jacket. Doesnt matter if your children can stand in the pool, feet touching the bottom, with their head out of water or not. Doesnt matter if your child proves they can easily swim to the side of the pool from where the slides let out or not.Age and swimming ability are mutually exclusive, you morons. Just because a child is 5 doesnt mean they cant swim well, and just because theyre 6 doesnt mean they can. I would make a comment about a child over the age of 6 drowning because of this idiotic rule, but its near impossible to take a step without running into one of their 16 school yard bully lifeguards anxiously awaiting the opportunity to cram their dumb rules down your throat. We get it, you got beat up all throughout high school and arent old enough to apply for the local police force, so this is the closest you can get to a position of authority, and until then, youre going to impose yourself upon every person that crosses your path as a result.The fact that Im required to take the coast guard approved life jacket OFF of my child for her to be allowed to go down the slide is as moronic and it is ignorant. Sir, we need to make your child unsafe before she can go down the slide, take that life saving device off first. Basically, your staff and management are implying that they know more about water safety than the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD! I put my children in life jackets when theyre at the pool because it is an added layer of security and peace of mind that my children (one of which can swim without one, but not for 6 hours straight) will be safe while playing in the pool. By making a rule that says In order for your child to play in water thats 10 feet deep, theyre required to take off their life jacket, youre placing yourself at a greater risk for a child to incur injury or death as a result.I have no problem following rules, especially when the rules actually carry some merit. Not allowing arm floaties, but allowing coast guard approved PFDs, is a perfect example of a rule that might seem nit picky on the surface, but actually makes sense when you delve into it. Its a rule is made with the ultimate safety of the children in mind, because you want to avoid unnecessary liability by not allowing children to use a cheap and potentially ineffective life saving device. In this case, your rules are too stupid to carry any merit whatsoever. The best analogy to the life jacket rule that I can think of would be that in order for me to be allowed to drive through a school zone, I am required to unbuckle my kids from their car seats, and have them lie down on the hood of the car until Ive exited the school zone, at which time I can buckle them back up into their car seat and continue driving down the road. Only an imbecile would draft a set of rules build around forcing a child to REMOVE THEIR COAST GUARD APPROVED LIFE JACKET in order to play in their swimming pool. If theres anybody with more than two brain cells to rub together at any level of management in your organization, youll recognize this and correct it.I hope Im never obligated to come to a birthday party here again so I can just make it a mission to tell everybody about the group of brainless idiots that run this place and never return as long as I live.

I have fun here been going love the kid area and its not to packed ...

Nice facility, great people at the front desk?

Good clean doggie fun.

A neighborhood gem. Dont know what people are complaining about rules being posted. Its all common sense.

Nice little local pool. Exactly what you would expect.

Love Secrest! Best Family environment pool ever.

The water slide is fun and all but if you are to small to go on it the pool is boring.so if your going to go back Sher your older than 8.
