This center sits on a gorgeous park with huge evergreen trees and lots of cawing crows. It is a wonderful place to walk and about a mile around the park.

This review is for the park by the rev center:- two playgrounds, one older one in good shape. One newer one that looks fun and challenging for kids 5+. Not much shade in playgrounds but shade nearby. We will be back to check it out!- big open grassy space- lots of mature trees- tennis courts- picnic areas

A good neighborhood rec center with helpful staff. Was hoping for better quality swim instruction for my child. Not enough private shower/changing facilities for current standards.

Came here for the outdoor park which is nice. Pool looks nice. What I can’t understand is a rec center that is open 13 hours / day and closed almost the entire weekend? 9a-1p on Saturday and closed Sunday. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

If I could give this place 0 Stars I would. After allowing my service dog and I to enter and go to the pool area the Lifeguard insisted that we leave because my dog was not wearing her credentials.. I am well aware of my rights as a service animal owner and know that they have no right to ask me for her credentials. But even if they had they should have asked at the front when they ask for my identification instead of waiting until all the kids were in the pool and enjoying themselves

I came here for an afternoon of swimming pool with my family and my friend brought her service dog with her. We called ahead confirm this was okay and the man at the front desk confirm that it was okay I have the dog with us as long as we did not let the dog into the pool. The Lifeguard however had a different opinion and take us out of the pool and also called the police... Im pretty sure this is not the dream that mr. King had envisioned...

Has a nice pool but the weight area sucks. Its about the size of a studio apartment and antiquated. One garbage flat bench. No incline bench. Decent power rack. Trash Smith machine. Dumbbells up to 90lbs. And assorted machines. Ive gotta find a better rec center.

They have showers for homeless. And they take care of the kids after school until the parents get there. Trey have a gym . lockers, and a big gym . and a room to play games and watch t.v. and a game room. The people are helpful. It cost 10$ a year . and they have good parties and they have handy cap bath plus showers. Rooms that have computor rooms. And room Im not sure of its an excellent place to go.

Really nice park to jog or walk. Picnic area. Street parking all around. Playground, basket ball court, tennis court. Rec. Ctr. Open everyday except Sunday. Indoor pool, bball court, exercise room with weights. The center requires membership fee. Handicap accessible. I go there to walk...once around is 1200 steps.

Wouldn’t recommend this place. Pool staff is rude and feels like they are just watching every single thing you are doing. Didn’t make me or my family feel comfortable. Personal opinion.

The pool is much better than I anticipated, not only it was cleaner than many other places but also the lifeguards were much more focused on their job.

Took swimming lessons here as an adult. I was a little out of place because I am older but since not many adults take swimming lessons, I had a private teacher for all 8-10 classes I had. I loved it and learned a lot in the month of classes. Would def. Take again.

Review №46

Denver Parks & Rec hidden gem. This is a smaller rec center. Amenities include basketball court, handball courts, therapy pool, swimming pool, and weight room. There are two things that set MLK apart from all the other small rec centers in Denver:(1) The Employees. The staff at MLK takes the time to really get to know their customers. I feel like Im visiting friends every time I walk in. They foster and maintain a culture of kindness and fairness.(2) The Clientele. The typical MLK customer is older and retired, but still very active and healthy. This mature clientele follows polite gym etiquette. Weights are always put away. Cardio equipment is wiped down after every use. Swimming lanes are courteously shared.
