The Boards of Directors of both the Ken-Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District (KCRMD) and the Foothills Park & Recreation District have renewed for 2015 a special arrangement for residents of Ken-Caryl Ranch (KCR) to use the Foothills Ridge Recreation Center at Foothills resident rates. Prior to 2014, residents of KCR were assessed non-resident fees for Foothills facilities as it is a separate park and recreation district. For calendar year 2014, KCRMD and Foothills entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to permit KCR residents to use the drop-in amenities of the Ridge at the same daily rates as Foothills residents. Based on the positive feedback from KCR residents during 2014, the IGA has been renewed for 2015. The Ridge, located at 6613 South Ward Street just north of the boundary of KCR, offers users an indoor lap and separate leisure activity pool, a therapy pool, a gymnasium and track, a cardio weight room, racquetball courts and a rock climbing wall. The current agreement is exclusive to drop-in use of the amenities at the Ridge only and does not apply to classes or youth programs. As part of the agreement, KCR residents must get a special ID card issued by Foothills that will identify the user as a resident of KCR. ID cards that were issued to KCR residents in 2014 are still valid for 2015. The ID cards normally cost $5, but there is no charge during the month of December. See details on the Foothills website.
