One of the first questions I asked the audience when I arrived at the radio station was, what is something Grand Junction needs more of? Back in 2021, the answer was: a rec center for kids and families.

The people came together on April 4, 2023, and voted yes in support of Grand Junction's Community Rec Center. In 2026, we are approaching opening day this fall. In fact, memberships will be available for purchase soon. Here is how to get one.

The schedule isn’t finalized yet, but planned hours appear to include early mornings through evenings on weekdays, with shorter hours on the weekend. We can't wait to announce their opening day later this year.
