Trout Creek Recreation Center

Had an amazing massage by Jon after 7 days straight of snowboarding. Intuitive and professional. Staff was friendly and helpful

I tried the TCRC twice during a recent stay in Truckee, confining my visit to the weight room + aerobic equipment side of the building. Everything was in place for a successful workout: lots of equipment of various types, towels when you need them, a clean locker room with easy-​to-​use showers. If you come in with a member, the cost for a day pass is a reasonable $ 8.
I got good reports on the pool and jacuzzi area but decided to stay indoors. There’s open WiFi, by the way.
I intend to come back repeatedly. This is a very good place.

For an HOA gym I am very impressed. The gym equipment is updated and in good condition. They’ve got pretty much everything I need to get my workout on.
They’ve also got a full schedule of classes (though I think these are an extra charge). I haven’t yet checked these out but looking forward to it.
Perhaps my favorite part is the jacuzzis. They’ve got 3 of varying temperatures. They also have 2 pools (one open year round and one only open during the summer). I love coming to the jacuzzi to relax after a long day :)
Two different locker rooms. One updated, one soon to be updated. Standard but all you need (except a hairdryer, bring your own).
It’s great to have such a solid workout facility within the Tahoe Donner HOA (note that HOA members must pay an additional once yearly fee to use trout creek). Totally worth it!

We come here every time we are in Tahoe Donner. The kids enjoy the pool and child-​friendly jacuzzi and I can break a sweat on their elliptical machines, which are state of the art with screens attached. The weight-​lifting area could use an upgrade. The weight training machines there are pretty ancient, from the 80’s I imagine because they aren’t as smooth as some other weight training machines I have tried. But I still love the butt blaster machine as modern guns don’t carry this one anymore.
Steam room is very steamy. There is also an adult lap pool and a hotter adult jacuzzi in the adult section. The Marco Polo café in site serves decent enough food, but nothing is organic, and not sure if the food contains gmo ingredients. You can get a decent sand which, wrap or burger. They have drinks, ice cream and even alcoholic beverages.
My husband forgot my swimsuit and I really wanted to swim, luckily I found something that worked in their shop $ 80 later.
Prices are very very inflated here, as is everything in the Truckee/​Tahoe Donner area. But we still come back every time.

This is a very nice recreational facility. Lots of owners and guests and a ton of kids. The big pool is great. Beautifully placed with a view of the tree filled hillside. Lots of lounge chairs, seats, umbrella tables. Downside there is one lifeguard on duty (25 plus people in pool) but lots and lots hanging out under the first aid tent. Several people asked questions of the guards under the tent and they did not seem to care to help. They walked in packs in and out socializing. Finally they added another and rotated more frequently. They have a 10 minute restroom break hourly so everyone gets out. They did not allow adults in during the break like others have said. The amenities are many. There are bathrooms both outside near the pool and locker room type inside. The locker rooms are clean. There is a room for classes, a snack bar, a wading pool, a lap pool, an area to buy gear, a workout room with TVs and towels, a hot tub with showers, a basketball/​tennis court, a kiddie park area, picnic tables and even ping pong and a giant game of chess. The whole area is meticulously kept and the workers are nice except the lifeguard staff who are not that friendly even to the adults. The front desk staff was very nice however. This place is a great place to play and relax. Five stars but minus a star for the lifeguards. Next visit I will check this place out again. Definitely check it out if you are a guest or use it if you are an owner.

Pros: Lots of amenities (big swimming pool, lap pool, 3 jacuzzis, wading pool, steam room, sauna and gym), lots of parking, they allow outside food and drink (no alcohol though) and friendly staff. They provide complimentary towels! They kick the kids out of the pool for 10 minutes for a potty break every hour, but if you’re an adult and you don’t have any kids with you… You get a kid-​free pool for 10 minutes!!!
Cons: crowded and kids everywhere! Also, there also wasn’t a lot of shade.
Overall, a good experience. Since we stayed in a cabin down the street, we had 2 passes that allowed 4 people in per pass, it was $ 8 per person.

This place is so nice. Recently underwent a major remodel and the facilities are top notch. I’m not really into golf so the driving range doesn’t do much for me but they convert it into a concert venue and mega-​slip-​and-​slide during the summer, which is fun. Heated pools are very nice. Massive playground. Thumbs up.

This is an excellent Rec Center!
We were visiting friends in Truckee for Labor Day weekend and brought our kids here for the day on Saturday. Pools were great (kiddie pool, lap pool which we did not use, and the «big» pool). Hot tub was also great.
As I chased my two-​year-​old around we got a great tour of the facilities — excellent gym and group fitness class rooms, sauna and locker rooms too. Huge playground for the kids with a basketball court. Pretty much a family paradise. And if you play golf, you are right next to the driving range and golf course, too. Drop off the fam for the day and go play a round.
Didn’t eat at the grill or restaurant there/​nearby but might be worth it if you didn’t feel like packing a picnic (which is what everyone was doing from what I saw).
As guests we paid eight bucks per adult (kids under 6 free) and I think you get way more than you pay for. Snacks and drinks at the front desk area are way overpriced, of course, but that’s how it goes at any «health club» type place.
We will definitely come back when we are back in the area!
P. S. One thing that I thought was great was that from time to time, lifeguards would clear the pool for the kids to have potty breaks and food breaks. First time I have seen that (maybe I never paid attention in the past) and I think it makes for a super-​family-​friendly environment (and a cleaner pool!)

The Trout Creek Recreational Center is one of the best in the area. However, although they have a 400 square foot room perfect for offering child care, they still do not offer this service. If they offered childcare I know of a least 20 other mothers that would be using the facility on a 3 – 5 times a week basis. This would only increase the amount of people interested in classes, etc. A win for all, so why don’t they offer childcare. HUM? Your guess is as good as mine!

Trout Creek Rec center is a great place to relax. The recreational pool is huge and there is a family hot tub and then lap pools and hot tubs for adults. Also has steam, suana, massage and gym.
Guests pay $ 8 a day (under 7 is free) and it’s well worth the admission.
There’s poolside food service which is reasonable in price and the food is good!

This snow play area is where the driving range is at the Trout Creek Recreation Center. It has about 4 – 5 runs that are decently long. We went in the morning when they opened at 9:30, and it was the perfect time– there were only 2 other families sledding. I think it gets rather crowded in the afternoons, though. The only thing that could be better is if they had tows so you wouldn’t have to walk back up to the hill.

3 swimming pools, fitness center, and kid camps/
Very family friendly kiddie pool.
