A "virtual tour" in the words of the recreation center:

You enter from either the East or West, and as you check in at the front desk, you have a view of the mountains out the large windows on the west side of the building.

The Multi-purpose room on the south side of the building, which can be rented for private events, was designed for maximum flexibility. It has a movable partition so it can be divided into two smaller areas. The room adjoins a kitchen that can be used for catered events and some light cooking, and it opens to a covered patio.

A child care room with a fenced outside play area is at the east side of the building, and a vending area with seating opens to a patio on the west side of the building.

The family lounge has windows that look down on the gym and pools on the lower level, and it also has a window into the cardio fitness area.

At the base of the stairs on the lower level you can find an information desk with a place for visitors to save records of their individual exercise work; the circuit training area; entrances to the men's and women's locker rooms; and family changing rooms.

The leisure pool has windows with a view to the west and doors to an outdoor patio area. Adjoining the pool is a party room available for private rental. The leisure pool has a zero depth entry - a gradual slope instead of stairs, and has a "lazy river," a current for children's play or for exercise walking against the current. A bridge with play features spans between two sides of the pool and there will be a small children's slide into shallow water. A larger slide into deeper water for teens and adults empties into the lap pool.

Also on the lower level are the gym with a full sized basketball court (or two short basketball courts, or two volleyball courts), an aerobics room with a wood floor and mirrors, an open space for stretching, and a room full of stationary bikes for spinning classes. The lower level also has restrooms with a changing area separate from the pool locker rooms.
