Normal business hours at the city’s recreation centers resumed Tuesday for the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Denver Parks and Recreation closed the city’s recreation centers in March 2020 because of COVID-19 and didn’t begin its phased reopening until this past May. All 30 recreation centers have since reopened, officials said.

To commemorate the reopening, membership dues will be discounted 45%, said Happy Haynes, executive director of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department.

“Denver recreation centers provide numerous opportunities to engage in a healthy lifestyle through fitness and educational activities,” Haynes said in a release. “We are proud to provide communities with quality amenities and healthy recreation opportunities in neighborhoods throughout the city.”

In addition to offering a discount throughout November, registration for activities such as pickle ball, swim lessons, snowshoe trips and kickboxing opened Tuesday.
