The mission of the CRC is to offer year-round swimming, fitness, and recreational opportunities that promote healthy lifestyles for people of all ages from the surrounding communities. The employees of the Catskill Recreation Center take this mission to heart. Their focus is on assisting members and guests in meeting their fitness goals by cultivating a supportive community environment where everyone is given the opportunity to challenge themselves.
The late Kingdon Gould Jr., a lifelong sports enthusiast with deep roots in the Catskill Mountains, conceived of and generously funded the Catskill Recreation Center. The CRC opened with a splash on June 6th, 2014 with the mision to "offer year-round swimming, fitness, and recreational opportunities that promote healthy lifestyles for people of all ages from the surrounding communities."
