Getting Ready for Fall: Paul Stock Rec Center Update
We recently stopped by the Recreation Center to speak with Executive Director, Mike Fink, and Fitness instructor Catherine about what will happen in August and September 2025.
Yearly Closure
This year, cleaning week between the aquatics and recreation sides will take place July 31st-August 10th. It has been a 24-year tradition for the facility to close this time of year for maintenance and cleaning. In years past, it was planned during summer, so more young college/high school staff are still available to pitch in with all the cleaning, painting, and organizing. Keeping the facility in tip-top shape takes time, money, planning, and effort. We are incredibly fortunate that employees and staff prioritize maintenance and updates so each aspect of the facility can run smoothly year-round for the Cody, Wyoming community members.
The first area of temporary closure will be the pools. They will shut down beginning Wednesday, July 31th, 2025. They will not only be deep cleaning/maintaining the pools, decks, and equipment, but will also retile and grout certain areas of the pool. Monday, August 4th, all three gyms will be closed for resurfacing. It will take the better part of a week for the gym floors to cure and dry. Fink mentioned they plan to have the upstairs workout areas open as much as possible. Please check the Paul Stock Aquatic and Recreation Facebook page for the most recent updates during the annual cleaning and maintenance.
Fall Catalog Coming Soon!
As a reminder, the Fall Recreation Catalog will be out sometime in mid to late August just in time for kids, adults, and senior new activity registration to begin. Popular Yoga and Pilates class begins September 2nd, and they have acquired some new Pilates arches for class goers. Check out the new Fall catalog to choose from a variety of activities and events for the whole family. Don’t forget that kids under the age of 4 enter the Rec Center and pools for FREE!
Additionally, August 17th, October 19th, and December 21st are FREE entrance days. Family group rate days are September 21st and November 16th! Join in on the fun at the Aquatics and Recreation Center!
