Aspen Colorado Virtual Tour

Need something to do? The Aspen Parks & Recreation Department has a little something for everyone and we want to invite you to check out our virtual tour and see what we have to offer!
The Aspen Recreation Center is home to the James E. Moore aquatic facility that includes two pools, luxurious hot tub, sauna, steam room, 2 story waterslide and lazy river! If you’re ready to climb the walls, then you’ll find not one but two of Aspen’s largest indoor climbing facilities at the ARC and Red Brick Gym.
The Aspen Ice Garden is a refreshing way to cool off on these hot summer days, skating with friends and family. You can also head over to the NHL-regulation Lewis Ice Arena at the ARC. Our 18-hole championship golf course doubles as a Nordic center in the winter, making it a premier year-round recreation spot.
If tennis is your game, we have six state-of-the-art clay courts at the Aspen Golf & Tennis Club.
