  • Morning cancellations will be announced the night before
  • Afternoon cancellations will be announced by 10:00 a.m. that day

If you pay taxes to Trails Park and Recreation District, you are entitled to in-district discounted rates at any Trails Park and Recreation District facility. 

The Trails Recreation Center will need a current Arapahoe County tax statement, a valid driver’s license, or mail addressed to you from your Utility Company to show proof of residency.

Anyone coming in for a day pass will need to have an existing account set up in Amilia or will need to provide information for a new account. Your name and email address will be required. In order to receive an in-District discount,  we will need to establish residency with a driver’s license or mail addressed to you from your Utility Company (see above).

For quick and easy access to the facility using your membership, we recommend downloading the app from Amilia to scan your account. We will continue to look up information on those individuals with a picture ID who have not downloaded the app.

Children 10 – 12 years of age must have a responsible individual 16 years of age or older in the facility. The recreation center is not intended to act as a babysitting service or substitute for licensed daycare. Parents who permit children 12 years of age and younger to remain unsupervised at the Trails Recreation Center assume and bear full responsibility for all risks of harm to such children.

Relatives and/or friends may visit the facility to observe a structured activity or program at no cost, but may not use the center for recreational activities at this time.

In the operation of its park and recreation facilities, the Trails Park and Recreation District (TPRD) has a paramount concern for public safety at those facilities.  In order to advance the public safety of its residents and to minimize any liability to the park district, only employees of The Trails Recreation Center and/or the Trails Park and Recreation District are authorized to provide training, instruction, or lessons on premises owned and operated by the Trails and Recreation District (TPRD).  

In the event a member of the Trails Recreation Center is being provided professional physical therapy, the member will be allowed to receive licensed physical therapy at the premises if the following conditions are met:  the physical therapy services do not interfere with the normal operation of the Trails Recreation Center; that the member pay appropriate user fees; that only a maximum number of (3) three sessions be provided; and that permission was granted by the Trails Recreation Center management prior to the start of any therapy.  At the time a request is made for permission for physical therapy services, the therapist may be required to provide information as to the duration of treatment, professional credentials to provide such therapy, a release of liability, and a statement of insurance coverage.  

The Trails has seven (7) handicapped parking spaces conspicuously marked southwest of the entrance to the facility. All vehicles parking in these spaces must display a current disabled placard/license. Reasonable effort will be made to identify and contact individuals belonging to vehicles found in these spaces without the proper permit. If the driver cannot be found, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department will be notified and/or arrangements will be made to have the vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.

Trails Park and Recreation District is not responsible for any accident, damage to vehicles and/or theft of belongings occurring on property owned and operated by TPRD.

If a child 17 years and younger is injured in the facility, and parents are unavailable, it is at the discretion of District staff to notify EMS, depending upon the injury. If there are any questions as to the severity of an injury, staff will automatically call 911.

Patrons not following policies or procedures, depending upon the infraction, will be asked to leave the facility for the day. Continual disruption by the same patron may lead to an extended suspension period from the center. A trespass notice will be issued to the individual as well as the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department. Parents of children 17 years old and younger will be notified by writing if possible. No refunds will be given during the suspension period.

No animals will be allowed in Trails Recreation Center with the exception of trained assist animals. Trained assist animals must be under control by means of a leash or tether.

Parent Code of Conduct: Triple Threat Recreational League

 Trails Park and Recreation District seeks to instill positive character-building traits in our communities’ youth through the demonstration of good sportsmanship, respect for others, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship.  We ask that parents and their guests attending any Trails Park and Recreation District program help us by reflecting these character traits.

When attending Triple Threat League Games and practices at the Trails Recreation Center, I therefore agree:

  • I will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials, and spectators at every game and/or practice.
  • I will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent, such as physical threats, booing, taunting, using profane language or gestures, etc.
  • I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well-being of the athletes.
  • I will teach my child to play by the spirit of the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
  • I will teach and require my child to treat other players, coaches, officials, and spectators with respect, regardless of race, sex, or ability.
  • I will not ridicule or yell at my child or other participants for making a mistake or losing a competition.
  • I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never question, discuss, or confront coaches or referees at the game, and will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed-upon time and place.
  • I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.
  • I will inform the Trails staff of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others.

I also agree that if I fail to abide by the aforementioned rules and guidelines, I will be subject to disciplinary action that could include, but is not limited to, the following:

Verbal warning by official, Athletics personnel and/or Trails Management; Written warning; Parental game suspension with written documentation of incident; Parental season suspension.
