Hyland Hills Parks & Recreation District

What Hyland Hills Parks & Recreation District does

Hyland Hills Park & Recreation District is a special district organized under Colorado state law, established in 1955 and headquartered in Federal Heights, Colorado. It serves residents of the Hyland Hills District and the City of Westminster in the north Denver metro area through a comprehensive parks and recreation system that includes 16+ parks, two fitness centers (Hyland Hills Fitness Center and Hyland Hills Sports Center), the Carroll Butts Aquatics Center, and entertainment venues such as Water World water park, Adventure Golf & Raceway, the Greg Mastriona Golf Courses, the Ice Centre at the Promenade, and Cottonwood Lodge event venue.

The district operates no proprietary technology platform; program registration, facility booking, and fitness pass management run on standard third-party recreation management software accessible via web2.myvscloud.com. Its product portfolio spans youth and adult sports leagues, group fitness classes (including Les Mills programs, yoga, Reformer Pilates, SilverSneakers for seniors), personal training, swimming lessons, summer day camps, open gym, and pavilion/park/pickleball court rentals. The 1992-founded Hyland Hills Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3), underwrites scholarships so that children can participate in recreation regardless of family income.

The district is funded through a hybrid revenue model combining property-tax mill levy receipts (including a 2020 Mill Levy) with transaction-based and recurring user fees: entertainment venue admissions, monthly fitness passes, pay-as-you-go program registrations, and one-time facility rentals. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via online self-service, phone support (303-428-7488), and walk-in service at multiple Westminster and Federal Heights locations, with resident discount cards conferring preferential pricing to district and Westminster residents.
