Beck Recreation Center

Awesome facility! The pool is clean, the basketball courts are nice. The gym has everything you need, the only problem is that no one puts the weights back the right way. Sometimes you will catch a few grumpy people at the front desk, but the trainers are very very nice. I work out here all the time.

This is a aurora park that has been around for years. The city has remodeled the park and has made many changes to update the park and recreation city. The staff is friendly and organized. The recreation park is clean and feels safe. You can come and participate in a variety of activities and classes. They even offer puppy training foe your best friend.

Really needed to find a place close by that had a good 25m pool. Wanted to get back into swimming after 5 years off.
24hr fitness only has about 3 lanes and a bunch of members. Not ideal.
Found this place by suggestion from a friend. Went at 5:30am for lap swimming before classes. There was only me and some elderly lady there. The pool has 5 lanes. Went today and there was only a couple other people.
They also have a wide variety of other things to do like weights, treadmill, etc. They also have a wide variety of classes all week long. I might check out the yoga and weight living ones one of these days.
The place is VERY clean!
The locker rooms have lockers for use. You have to bring your own lock.
A day pass is $ 5. A 10 day punch pass is $ 40. And my month pass was $ 49. They also have longer passes. The longer the pass, the cheaper per month it is.
The lady who works the front desk is super kind and awesome. I wish I had remembered her name since I’ll probably be seeing her everyday now. Ah well.

My friend and I love coming here. The trainers are awesome, the classes are awesome. I love that it’s never crowded. I’m very happy with this rec center.
The swimming classes for children are my only complaint. My daughter was in way too deep of water and the trainer was busy with way too many kids to notice there was a problem. I had to pull my daughter out and take her home. My money was credited and my daughter and I can go back and swim together. I’d much rather give her one-​on-​one lessons myself.
Other than that, I’ve been super happy and it’s a wonderful, spacious, non-​crowded environment.

I was highly disappointed with the swimming pool amenities. It’s apparent that no one with physical or developmental disabilities had any input in the remodeling of this facility. The entry doors to the pool are not handicapped accessible. The worse is the mobile sitting device for lowering individuals with disabilities into the pool. It is an outrage! I cannot believe that this device passed any safety standards. The seat belt lacks a workable buckle to secure an individual into the seat and has no side arms to assist someone from falling off the chair!
In addition, the lifeguard we dealt with lacked common sense. I went to retrieve a noodle for my disabled daughter to use while in the pool and was told I could not take one as they are for swimming class only. At that time, there were 3 people in the pool and well over 75 noodles sitting in a container! She had to go ask her manager! This was truly unbelievable. I assume the manager said yes after an extended moment of dialogue as she allowed us to have one «this time but they are for the swimming class.»
Overall, not the best experience.

The Beck center recently went under a remodel/​update but a few problems still exist. We enrolled our infant in the infant swim lessons for a reasonable price. The third lesson in, the swimming pool’s heater was not working and the water was ice cold. The Center refused to allow a make-​up session or a credit for that particular day since it was «optional» if each parent wanted to get in and still take the lesson. Again, the water was freezing and even the swim instructor was shivering and apologizing. Nearly all of the parents refused to take the lesson and the couple that did, had to get out almost immediately due to the cold.
All we were asking for was to be able to credit that lesson and take it on another date since we were could not put our 9 month old in the water. They refused and was not willing to work with us.
We will take our future services to one of the other recreation centers. We will finish out the lessons we have already paid for, but have decided not to continue our business here.
All other things considered, most of the staff is nice and the facilities are not too bad.
