Background Statement
Old Town Hot Springs is a historic hot spring and family-friendly recreational facility in the heart of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We have been a location for recreation and rejuvenation in this community for over 100 years. The swimming and soaking pools have been here in one form or another for over a century, first serving as a gathering and bathing place for the Ute Indians who first settled in this area. Later it was most likely a social and bathing place for the first homesteaders. We are lucky to have the famous Heart Spring, the source of all the healing mineral water in our eight pools.
Old Town Hot Springs has grown and improved over the years into a multi-use complex that serves as a health and wellness center for Steamboat Springs' community and visitors. We offer recreational and educational opportunities in water and fitness for all ages. In addition to our hot soaking pools, our amenities include eight lap lanes, an aquatic climbing wall, massage therapy, childcare, and a fitness center with classes, cardio equipment, and a weight room. In the spirit of Steamboat Springs' recreation and relaxation needs, in 2007 we made improvements that included two new 225-foot water slides and a 3,000-square-foot hot activity pool. In 2019, as part of a five-year capital campaign, we completed a 15,000 sq ft building expansion that included a community room with kitchen for healthy living programming and CPR/First Aid training, a 48-ft climbing wall, a dedicated spin room and functional training room, new guest locker rooms, Steamboat's only indoor walking track, expanded weight and cardio space, and an additional studio for group exercise or fitness programming. Old Town Hot Springs continues to grow and improve to meet the needs of this community and to serve our mission.
