Cherry Creek School District Employees Get Free Access to the Trails Recreation Center

Published: Thursday, August 6, 2026

If you work full-time for Cherry Creek School District, you have a perk waiting for you that you might not know about. Show your school badge at the front desk of the Trails Recreation Center, and walk in for free. No membership required. No daily admission fee. Just your badge.

What's Included

As a full-time CCSD employee, your badge gets you drop-in access to the full facility, including:

Aquatics: lap pool, zero-depth activity pool, lazy river, and waterslides
Wellness amenities: steam room, sauna, and hot tub
Fitness floor: full gym equipment and cardio machines
Rock climbing wall
Indoor track
Gymnasium: open for drop-in basketball, volleyball, and pickleball
Drop-in fitness classes: reservation required; see our monthly class schedule here.
Racquetball courts: available to reserve

A few things to know: this benefit covers facility access and drop-in fitness classes, but does not include TPRD programming (swim lessons, youth sports, cultural arts classes, camps, etc.), which are available to enroll in separately with the standard program fees.

How to Use It

It’s as simple as it gets. Walk up to the front desk, show your Cherry Creek School District employee badge, and you’re in. No forms, no advance registration, no membership card needed.

Worth a Lot More Than Most People Realize

A TPRD household membership runs $64/month for district residents. Free daily access to the steam room, sauna, hot tub, two pools, a climbing wall, gym equipment, a track, drop-in classes, and open gym time is a genuinely significant benefit, and one that goes underused simply because people don’t know it exists.

If you’re a CCSD employee and you’ve been paying for a gym elsewhere, or you’ve been skipping the workout altogether because of cost or convenience — this changes the math considerably.

Come see us! Your badge is your membership.
