Plan To Raise Fees At Rec Centers Moves Forward

DENVER (CBS4) - It could soon cost more to work out at some of Denver's recreation centers as a plan to raise fees is moving forward.

The proposed plan sets up a three-tiered system based on size and amenities. Fees for smaller neighborhood centers would drop, but fees for larger, local and regional centers would increase substantially.

"Our regional facilities are really our 7-day-a-week operations, have larger pools, weight rooms, fitness facilities community space and gyms." Dody Erickson with Denver Parks and Rec said.

Denver Parks and Rec says the change is on par with other cities across the country and it's expected to generate $900,000 in revenue.

City council still needs to approve a final version of the changes.
