Good deals come to those who wait to exercise until November, when Denver Parks and Recreation's annual membership goes on sale.
Individual annual passes will be sold throughout the month for roughly 45% less than normal. People living in the 80216 zip-code will receive an even deeper 90% discount.
Everywhere else, adults ages 25 to 64 will pay $199 for a regional pass that includes access to the city's 30 rec centers and pools, including regional centers that are open seven days a week: Athmar, Carla Madison, Central Park, Montbello, Montclair, Rude, Scheitler and Washington Park. That's less than $17 a month.
Adults will pay $135 to access local and neighborhood centers, including Ashland, Cook Park, Eisenhower, Glenarm, Green Valley Ranch, Harvard Gulch, Harvey Park, Hiawatha Davis Jr., La Familia, Southwest, Twentieth St. That's $11.25 a month.
And those who only want to use neighborhood centers will pay just $105. Those include the following: Aztlan, Barnum, College View, Highland, Johnson, La Alma, Martin Luther King Jr., Platt Park, St. Charles, Swansea, 5090 Broadway. That costs less than $9 a month.
There are even deeper discounts for seniors, young adults, youth and people with disabilities.
The discounts are for annual memberships only and do not apply to daily passes, monthly memberships or family memberships. You can't apply other deals to lower the costs more.
To get your pass, starting in November, visit the rec center membership page online for more information or go to the front desk of a rec center near you.
