About This Cause
The late Kingdon Gould, Jr. (1924-2018), a lifelong sports enthusiast with deep roots in the Catskill Mountains, conceived of and funded the building of the Catskill Recreation Center. The CRC opened with a splash on June 6th 2014 with the mission to “offer year-round swimming, fitness, and recreational opportunities that promote healthy lifestyles for people of all ages from the surrounding communities”. VIP Structures of Syracuse headed up the construction of the $5 million project which consists of a 24,000 square foot building that houses a 6-lane 25-yard pool, locker rooms, a fully-equipped fitness room, a meeting room, and a group-exercise/multi-purpose room. The building incorporates many energy-saving and earth-friendly features, including a 214-panel solar array, 25 geothermal wells, pool covers, LED lighting, water-bottle filling station, and recycling bins. The six acres that surround the CRC are available for outdoor recreation uses. In 2018 a sand volleyball court and a steam-cleaning station for boats on the reservoirs were added, and a half-mile pedestrian trail was opened Summer 2020. The Catskill Recreation Center has become an energetic regional hub where fitness, friendship and fun go hand-in-hand; where members build skills and conditioning; where community health is improving; where adults and children enjoy swimming year round, and where annual events are becoming traditions. Whether you are a swimming or love working out in the gym, the CRC invites you to join our diverse and friendly community of members and supporters.
