Best places: Community centers in Vancouver, Canada

😠 Front desk can't be bothered to lift a finger to do any administration, and they are incredibly rude. I brought all my documents for my leisure access card (LAC). Usually it takes 2 mins at other community centers. There was nobody in line, I was the only person being served. The front desk person t...

👍👍 Nice and peaceful place to spend some time. Good before and after school care services and a daycare program. Lots of programs on your choice. Big underground parking with direct access. Very friendly and helpful staff. Minuses: Very sad that construction of the building above the center destroyed/c...

👍 This is a pretty good place. I think you'll like it. It's got a gymnasium, pottery room, washrooms and showers, but performance stage, a daycare, and various other resources for the community. It also has a blue haired long-term City employee that is ready to serve you. Check it out. Get a membershi...

😠 As someone who uses these facilities for health and wellness primarily, it is disheartening to know that some staff (lifeguards and management alike) don't seem to care about the safety and well-being of patrons of colour or other marginalized groups. I have been made to feel unwelcome by staff and...

😐 Good place to go to library or gym. They also offer many different classes (pre-COVID). Right now you are able to go to the gym, however you should phone and book in advance and pay by card. They do also leave three drop in spots. Drop in rate is $6.00. Sadly the sauna and change rooms are closed. I...

👍👍 From my Brazilian point of view it is awesome: a public and well manteined building with good and confortable library; several classes of sports and arts; gymnasium for sports (during my visit it was serving as an ice skating place); services for the community (like parking permits). A wonderful mee...

👍👍 Super impressed with everything that this little community centre has to offer. It has a fairly large pool with a hot tub and sauna, an ice skating rink, indoor basketball gym, lots of green space outside for soccer, there's a baseball diamond, and a running track. Personally, I've only used the po...

Spacious complex with an indoor ice rink, gym & dance studio, plus a fitness room & group classes.

Public recreation complex featuring a gym, a pottery studio, a kayak/canoe club & lots of classes.

😠 A small facility full of obnoxious high school kids who treat the equipment poorly and have zero respect. If you want a decent workout and actually want to use some equipment instead of waiting for kids sitting on their phones watching TikTok’s on the pec fly all day, then find a different gym.

🫤 Original: Immaculate facility & superb staff! A fellow in maintenance named Robert is especially friendly & makes the experience that much more inviting. 10/10 would recommend. Edit: 3+ years after I started going, I had taken a 2 year break from the city in that time & I'm back now and noticing th...

Residents' community center including a gym, sports hall, meeting room & lounge.

🫤 A two points because at least it has washrooms but this park is in a nice neighborhood right off from Oak Street and it's not well maintained at all! The waterpark is a dangerous hazzard for kids. I always hear a kid crying from bloody knees. The water gets clogged and dirty and that is where the li...

👍👍 I took badminton lessons here and the instructor was very helpful. They have a big gym which is nice.

👍👍 We had our wedding here in September. We could not have asked for a more elegant, beautiful and cosy venue. As you can see from the pictures, the atmosphere is stunning. The cost is very reasonable and it includes so much help from the venue staff who assisted with audio, setup and takedown. They co...

😠 Unreliable hours of operation. I purchased a gym pass and exercised in the morning, however one day I showed up only to find the place closed and other gym members arriving too only to be turned away. Turns out it was a scheduled 1 week gym closure for maintenance. I have never seen that before at a...

😐 The gym here is all right, not the best nor the worst in terms of its patrons. The staff are all right and most of the equipment is there although very old. The bad part about this gym is that it’s small and the shower and washroom is often occupied by homeless or a strange people. Absolutely nothi...

😠 If you were at the bottom of your dental school class, don’t worry, I’m confident Mid Main will hire you. I got a filling put in last week and had two assistants arguing back and forth over my head about how to put in a dental dam, trying and failing to put it in 4 times. They needed the dentist to...
