Q: What is the building that looks like a red barn?
A: The Reunion Recreation Center contains a full gymnasium, aerobics room, meeting room, fitness equipment, babysitting area (not full day child care), and an outdoor pool that is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. For questions, please call 303-288-5431.
Q: Who operates the Reunion Recreation Center?
A: The recreation center was built by Shea Homes, the developer of Reunion, and is operated by the Reunion Metropolitan District.
Q: What will happen with the southern portion of Southlawn Park? Will the pool be built?
A: Southlawn Park is owned and maintained by Reunion Metropolitan District. When Shea Homes designed Southlawn, the Lawn Amphitheater and Pavilion were designed in a manner that would allow future construction of an outdoor pool, pool house and limited parking. The Southlawn Park and Reunion Park, recreation center and pool complex were conceived to serve the entire Reunion Community when completed.
Several years ago, when the Metro District added a tot-lot and vault toilet for residents, the Metro District held public meetings to obtain Reunion residents’ input on what future improvements were desired. The majority of residents, at that time, indicated that an outdoor pool was still desired.
At this time, Reunion Metro District serves approximately 1,400 completed residences in the community, while Reunion is planned to include over 10,000 residences when complete. Currently the Metro District owns and maintains over 120 acres of parks, landscaping, and trails, including the 52-acre Reunion Park, and Reunion Recreation Center and Pool complex and the five acre Southlawn Park. As more homes are completed and adequate tax revenues are generated, the Reunion Metropolitan District will evaluate the recreational needs of the community and consider expanding recreational facilities and adding added park lands. The Metro District intends to solicit resident input before any additional amenities are constructed and will need to balance the capital costs of such projects together with the annual operating and maintenance costs of any proposed facility with the District’s tax and recreational fee revenues.
As Commerce City residents, Reunion families also have access to all the Park and Recreational facilities and programs of the City of Commerce City and can use the Indoor Pool and water features and all the other amenities at the Commerce City Recreation Center. A 65-acre city park is proposed for just west of the Southlawn neighborhood, and soft surface trails are already being constructed in the Second Creek Open Space corridor which begins just west of Landmark Drive near Southlawn Parkway and follows Second Creek to the north underneath 104th Avenue and beyond to Chambers Road.
Q: Is there a Homeowners Association and what are the fees?
A: Yes, there is a Homeowners Association in Reunion that is responsible for enforcing the architectural covenants of the community. Currently the fee for a privately owned single-family home is $36 per year.
There is also a Homeowners Sub-association for the multi-family homes in Parkside at Reunion that pays for water, snow removal, trash pick-up, exterior maintenance and structure insurance. Currently the fee for the sub-association is $143 per month. For more info about the HOA, please click here.
Q: Who can use the Reunion Recreation Center and what are the fees?
A: Reunion residents will have memberships to the recreation center and pool and are charged a mandatory fee of $17 per month per household ($51 per quarter.) This provides the entire household access to the recreation center and pool.
Non-Reunion residents are not eligible for membership, but can use the facility on a daily basis for a fee currently set at $20 per day per person for use of the recreation center and/or pool. For more information please call the Recreation Center at 303-288-5431.

Q: Are there memberships or discounts available at Buffalo Run Golf Course if I live in Reunion?
