Greetings from your all volunteer Board of Directors. We love the Montrose Recreation District, and we love serving this wonderful community.

Please visit us in our newly remodeled Community Center on Rio Grande and Colorado Avenue. Bring the family and enjoy a day in our pool and the fabulous Russell Stover Children’s Candyland splash pad, it’s a blast! Better yet, sign up for an annual membership and enjoy the pool all year long, we would love to see you often.

Yes, we have expanded and added the community rooms that you can use for your special occasions. Check our Activity Guide, available free at the front desk, and choose from a large selection of healthy activities for toddlers, youth, teens, adults, and seniors, everyone is special to us.

And yes, we have plans to grow more each year. We are delighted to announce that the board has voted to authorize the addition of beautiful new gymnasiums, and we are close to having enough money to proceed. So if you have ideas or suggestions please ask about how we are planning to grow and tell us what you think.

And, if you are looking for ways to serve the community we are always looking for volunteers. Our board meetings are open to the public and the schedule is posted at the Community Center. You are always welcome.

On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, a very big thank you for your patronage and support.
