Celebrate the opening of the new Queen Creek Recreation & Aquatic Center on Saturday, March 29 with a ribbon cutting at 7:30 a.m. followed by grand opening festivities and tours from 8 – 10 a.m. (the facility will remain open for tours and membership purchases until 6 p.m.).
The Recreation Center will be open for use with a membership or pass beginning Sunday, March 30. The Aquatic Center will open in May, not on March 29. The new facility is located at Frontier Family Park, 22343 E. Ryan Road.
Featuring an indoor track, fitness area, zero-depth entry pool, lazy river and more, the Queen Creek Recreation & Aquatic Center enhances recreational opportunities for residents.
The facility was approved in December 2021 following resident input received through the Parks & Recreation Master Plan Update (adopted in 2018) and recreation amenity survey that was completed in the summer of 2021. In the most recent Citizen Survey (2023), 83% of Queen Creek residents reported visiting a Town park in the past year, with 32% visiting a park more than 10 times. In a separate survey conducted in 2023, 75% of residents reported wanting a Town aquatic center and/or multi-generational center.
Memberships for residents will be available for purchase on March 29, and passes will be available for purchase starting March 30; both memberships and passes include individual and household options. Residents must have an active CivicRec account to purchase a membership and proof of residency (photo ID and utility bill, lease agreement, or tax document). Non-residents may purchase a day pass if accompanied by a Town of Queen Creek resident (who also has a membership or day pass) at the time of purchase.
Membership and day passes will not include access to registration-based programs. Programs at the Recreation & Aquatic Center will align with the Town’s current practice, which includes a resident and non-resident rate (confirm residency on the Town’s website, QueenCreekAZ.gov/DoILiveInQC). For more information about what is included in memberships and passes, and for rates, please visit QueenCreekAZ.gov/Recreation.
Additional amenities within the facility include indoor sport courts (basketball, volleyball, pickleball), teen room, child watch and classrooms. The outdoor Aquatic Center includes a competition / lap pool and slides. The Aquatic Center amenities will open in May; grand opening activities for the Aquatic Center will be limited to tours.
The Recreation & Aquatic Center was designed by DWL Architects and constructed by Haydon.
