EPIC (the Edora Pool Ice Center) is located at 1801 Riverside Ave., and is a perfect place to spend a good part of your summer. Besides the swimming area (offering a very large shallow pool, a very large 'warm pool/jacuzzi', lanes for lap swimming, a diving area, and a 4.5 foot section for swimming as well), it offers a nice ice-skating rink, both of which are available for free swimming/skating to the general public. The inside also features a full-service snack bar, which opens at 10am.
Outside, besides the usual park amenities (sports fields, tennis, walking paths, playground area), the center offers a BMX track, an ultimate frisbee course, horseshoe pits, and more. One can easily take an entire family here day after day, and always find something active to do. Prices are very reasonable, call ahead for free swim and skate hours.

I went in here yesterday to get some Disc Golf Frisbees, and I was astounded at the selection. They must have had more than 100 different discs, in every imaginable weight and color. And, prices were the same or cheaper than some of the chain stores like Garts. Plus, the sales staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, and they have used discs if you just want to get a crappy one for water holes or whatever. They also have snowboarding and skateboarding stuff, which I will check out later. I would recommend heading here if you need anything I've mentioned.

AND a coffee bar! We don't even live in Fort Collins, but every time we pass through we try to stop at Jax. We ALWAYS buy something!

I bought my mountain bike here and was impressed with the helpful and knowledgeable staff. They took the time to help me pick out the right bike for my needs and even let me test drive it around the block. They offer one free tune-up with purchase; and they offer classes in maintaining your bike, too. The shop carries high-quality bike brands as well as gear. Check out their website (leescyclery.com): they list the various events that they host throughout the year. The store is located across from the University and parking may be difficult to find when classes are in session.

This shop has high quality sports merchandise and exceptional customer service. I recently purchased some hiking clothing there and was very impressed with how the staff went out of their way to assist me. Without being overly pushy, they were there when I needed them and helped me find the right product for me. They also have a liberal return policy, which I liked since I sometimes get home and change my mind.

I purchased my bike there several years ago and had a few minor problems with it (to do with the manufacture, not the cycle shop). throughout it all, the staff at Lee's were helpful and courteous. I ended up having to return the bike as the items could not be fixed properly and they helped me order a new one at no additional cost. I was very impressed with how I was treated.
And these guys know bikes!! I was measured everywhere imaginable to make sure my bike gave me the proper fit and I was educated on all the ins and outs of it before I left the store. Their service department is also topnotch. Their sales staff is knowledgeable but not pushy.

While I am not a runner I do shop at the Foot of the Rockies for athletic shoes for myself and for gifts for my son who runs marathons. Whether it be getting a good professional, expert fit in a shoe or in getting great advice on what to purchase for a serious runner I have found the Foot of the Rockies the place to shop. The staff obviously has a passion for their work and it shows.
