Pleasant Grove Recreation Center is the city's main public rec facility with indoor pickleball courts, basketball courts, a weight floor with free weights and machines, an upstairs indoor track, fitness classes (yoga, dance, High Fit), an affordable in-facility daycare, multiple gym spaces, family change rooms, showers, and elevator access. Reviewers describe it as well-run and clean, with the small size and low cost as features rather than drawbacks. The facility costs about $11 per month for full access and a $3.50 day pass for drop-ins.
Hours are 5 AM to 10 PM Monday-Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM Saturdays (extends to 9 PM in winter Sep-Feb), closed Sundays. There is no indoor pool here; the PG community pool is around the block and outdoor. The big constraint for pickleball players: courts get closed during winter for Jr. Jazz basketball season, and reviewers report this lasted multiple weeks two years in a row. One reviewer noted pickleball is hard to find after noon in winter. Plan to call ahead during winter months to check court availability. Outdoor pickleball options nearby include city park courts.
What locals say
“There are basketball and new pickle ball courts.”
“Always been great. Large, and has lots of machines/equipment. Stays pretty clean too. Only downside is no pickleball after like 12 it seems. For winter when I work till 3 I can't seem to play here.”
“When winter comes around. All courts are closed due to Jr. Jazz and are rarely available even when we were told they would do this again. This is the 2nd year straight this has happened.”
