Recreation Centers in Aspen

Aspen has a pair of amazing rec centers where you can get in a workout or enjoy the amenities at the facility. Just outside of town, the Aspen Recreation Center (ARC) is a massive indoor facility with a swimming pool, lazy river, water slide, rock climbing wall, and ice rink. Located downtown, the Red Brick Recreation Center has a climbing wall, a fitness class floor, and a playhouse for kids in the gym.

Both the ARC and the Red Brick are wonderful destinations on a rainy day or when you need a break from the slopes. The climbing walls are fun and challenging for climbers of all ages. The ARC pool is the town’s largest swimming pool in the valley that is open to the public. Day passes are available for purchase at both facilities.
