History
Gypsum Recreation Center was built on a former ranch site converted to municipal use, and Athletic Business reports it was occupied in December 2006. The design paired a multiuse pool and gymnasium with a community lounge around a large fireplace, and the project was featured in the magazine’s 2007 Architectural Showcase. Mountain Recreation now operates the center.
