Boulder’s fitness enthusiasts will need to rejig their workout schedules as Boulder Parks and Recreation announced changes to their annual recreation center shutdowns.

Usually paired with Spring Break, this year’s timetable has been altered, with the South Boulder Recreation Center (SBRC) seeing its shutdown shifted to late August, the city needs to tackle pressing facility repairs, the work includes updates to the pool fans, HVAC system, amongst other concerns surfaced in a recent facility needs assessment report. “This work will support our ability to keep South operating as long as we can while we plan for what’s next for recreation in South Boulder through the Future of Recreation Centers project and the city’s Long-Term Financial Strategy,” said Ali Rhodes, BPR Director, as per Boulder Parks and Recreation.
