Greeley Recreation Center
Greeley, CO 80631 United States Get Directions
Venue Overview
The Greeley Recreation Center is the City of Greeley’s longtime community recreation hub on 10th Avenue near downtown Greeley, serving Weld County since 1985. Two gymnasiums host drop-in pickleball, basketball and volleyball, while an indoor pool with a diving well, racquetball courts, a climbing wall, a fitness center and a weight room give families and athletes a full year of indoor options. Fitness classes, adaptive programs, a MakerSpace and multi-purpose rooms extend its reach beyond sports. For organizers, the two gyms and meeting rooms make it a practical spot for a pickleball round robin, a youth tournament or a club banquet in Northern Colorado.
