Beardsley Swim and Fitness will reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 6.
The eagerly anticipated reopening was delayed due to national supply chain issues plaguing the building industry, but residents will be happy to know the facility will reopen with regular hours from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.
Maricopa County has granted a temporary certificate of occupancy as the Rec Centers are still waiting on the arrival of the glass for the arched windows. The spa will remain closed until further notice.
Area residents who have seen renovations occur at the other three recreation centers over the last few years were excited to see Beardsley come up for upgrades more recently, including lighting upgrades last year that greatly enhanced the interior brightness, and the lobby enclosure this year. This latest project includes:
- Removing the old fountains and water features in the back area and replacing them with a concrete deck and stylish rubber flooring
- Painting the pool and spa area with a new graphic design and color scheme.
- Creating a weather-proof lobby by enclosing the old open-air entrance with custom-sized arched glass windows and air-conditioning. Creating a new monitor station within the new lobby.
- Painting and adding a graphic element to the long fitness hallway.

Can you please explain the insane and unpublished noodle policy for RHJohnson walking pool? This does not help those w disabilities that need the walking pool the most vs appeasing the most able bodied.
When will new workout equipment replace the current equipment?
Has the lockers in the mens room been undated? They remind me of my high school years.
Whoopty Doo we have a new entry at Beardsley. Wasn’t necessary. Didn’t need it. We’ve been out of that gym and pool area for over 4 months. And they’ll probably close it again when the windows are ready to install. Maybe they’ll wait until next Summer so will only inconvenience us full time residents!
Next will be the closure of the pool to enclose the stylish rubber flooring area because of complaints about it being too hot or too cold or too humid or too public for use as an exercise area.
Who decides what gets repaired or upgraded?
My goodness, people… you know they do all this just to upset and inconvenience you…. Is anyone around here ever happy? All I ever read is negative…you live in a beautiful community… ENJOY IT!
I was happy with the way it was!
Will water aerobics classes be available?
