For a small mountain town, the resources we have compare to that of a much larger city. We have many recreation opportunities that are great for families and retirees alike. I want to brag about our Aquatic Center. I took my three daughters to the Estes Park Aquatic Center on Wednesday evening for family night. For $2 per person, swimming is offered from 7-8:30 p.m. When you think about what it costs to go to a movie or concert, this is cheap entertainment. The physical benefits are great too. They had inflatable toys, noodles, and you could shoot hoops in the shallow end. In the 10′ area there is a rope where you can swing and drop off into the water and a diving board. For little ones there is a shallow play area. Also a few lanes were roped off for lap swimming. The girls enjoyed playing with each other and saw some of their friends too. My kids were sooo wiped out when we got home. I think this is a new Wednesday tradition for us. It will be great for my sanity this winter when it is too cold to play outside.
