Deadwood Recreation Center — Local services in Deadwood

This is the best city rec center/gym that I've ever seen in a small town. For a place with just over 1,000 residents, it's pretty amazing that Deadwood has a place with a weight lifting gym, cardio room, basketball court, swimming pool, running track, handball courts, and classrooms - all indoors.

According to one employees comment, the insurance doesn’t allow kids to do much besides play basketball, run on the track, and swim (in a pool with a cold temperature suited for adults swimming laps, not young kids or families using it for play or for the water slide). If you’re looking for a place oriented towards families with busy schedules,...

Went in the other day my mom and dad have been members my dad needed to renew and I was interested in buying a membership the gal who let us in was extremely nice and welcoming but then an older shorter gentleman came up told me absolutely no outsiders I said I simply wanted to see the gym and wanted to purchase a membership he was as rude as could be so not only did I not buy a membership but my dad didn’t renew either we drove to spearfish and bought memberships there both of us and we both live 5 minutes from the deadwood rec center but we’ll never go back.
