MRD Field House The MRD Field House offers a turf field, open year round for drop in and leagues. However, Montrose lacked indoor recreation space.

Opened in 1987, at the corner of Rio Grande and Colorado Ave., this building was originally an Aquatic Center that accommodated all aquatic operations for the District and acted as the central registration and contact point for Montrose Recreation District (MRD) programs. This continued until January of 2017 when the new Montrose Community Recreation Center (CRC) opened its doors. The only facility was this worn out, 30 year old Aquatic Center that needed a complete replacement of its mechanical system. The community had more than tripled in size since 80’s and it was too small to meet the community’s needs. Fixing the mechanical systems would be throwing good money after bad. The new “Field House” opened in November of 2017. The renovation’s design has brought new life to original elements such as the outdoor pool, and brought new features to the forefront, especially the indoor turf surface. This outdoor pool is still the only one in Montrose County. We have found that younger families often prefer the outdoor pool at the Field House since the indoor pools at the CRC can get crazy crowded and be overwhelming for younger children. The turf is proving to be popular on other fronts including private rentals, after school programs, and sports practices for youth, high school, and adult teams.
