The City of Boulder has announced the temporary closure of the South Boulder Recreation Center (SBRC) to carry out annual maintenance, which includes some more critical repairs this year. As reported by the City of Boulder, this closure comes earlier than scheduled but coincides with the SBRC's yearly facility-wide closure to mitigate disruption to the community.
Starting on July 13, the pool area will shut down, with an anticipated reopening date of October 1, while the entire facility will follow with a closure beginning July 21 and is set to welcome back visitors on September 2. The City has planned this extended downtime to address necessary maintenance repairs that will ultimately extend the longevity of the recreation center. Attempting to lessen the impact on the community, the maintenance work is scheduled during the summertime when the pool is an active hub for the locals.
Programs and rentals affected by the closure are being individually notified concerning rescheduling or cancellations, as detailed by the city's announcement. Residents looking to stay active and enjoy recreational activities during this period are directed to other facilities such as the East Boulder Community Center (EBCC), North Boulder Recreation Center (NBRC), Boulder Reservoir, and various other Boulder Parks & Recreation parks and facilities.
Earlier, EBCC also underwent extensive maintenance in March, according to the city's statement. In addition, the North Boulder Recreation Center is slated for its temporary shutdown from August 9 to August 17. With these closures in mind, the City of Boulder is advocating for locals to capitalize on the diverse array of recreational offerings available across other city facilities, providing ample opportunities for recreation and activity while SBRC gets its makeover.
