Summary: Modern Community Center with gym, pool, cafeteria, free garage parking for 2 hours, plenty…read morescheduled activities for kids and and many-many more Pros: Clean; Modern; I am jew, so I am biased, but that place creates so many jobs and volunteering opportunities; Huge development focus; plenty space to sit and read or work Cons: Parking, drop-off and pick-up on weekends might be a bit chaotic due to big number of programs. Details: I am visiting Lebovic Jewish Community Center once a month. It has a relaxing atmosphere. It has outdoor parking, 2 floors underground garage and 2 floors above ground level. Pool, gym and cafeteria are on the ground level. Many classes and development businesses on 2nd and 3rd floors. I have never been inside the pool, so I do not know much about changing rooms or if they have a sauna. However, pool has big cathedral windows. It looks clean and organized as the rest of the community. They have elevators, escalators and complementary Wifi. Employees and guests are polite and friendly. Overall, it's a great Community Center which is utilized mainly by Jews, but open for anyone else.

Pro tip: do NOT park your car at the neighbouring seemingly empty lot- it belongs to ford, and they are NOT friendly neighbours. Your car will get towed without a warning. This community centre is spacious and clean. Everything is easy to find. The gym is gigantic and stretches far beyond my eyes. The pool is 50m, worked by beautiful and hardworking lifeguards (lol just kidding, shameless plug). Both areas have plenty of seating for viewers. The hallways are large and extensive, so don't be afraid to wander around. There's also a fitness centre overlooking the pool. It's kind of small and lame but I rarely see it packed, so I guess it'd be a good idea. It's not great for lifting, but it has a lot of equipment for such a small gym. The regulars are usually older adults, trying to get some exercise in.

The parking and accessibility of it was terrible though, since the walk from the parking lot to the building is far and I can definitely imagine that being inconvenient for some people or even just during the winter season with all the snow and slush.

There are activity and program rooms for multi purposes but from what I have seen, it's mainly used for educational purposes. They have a large swimming pool area with two pools. One for children and the other for adults or the more advanced. The Oak Ridges Community Centre also has an aerobics centre, fitness centre and a gymnasium. It's a really nice community centre. One of the best that I have seen yet. I went there for a Volleyball tournament and probably pick up sports a couple of times. The floors are well maintained and they have relatively high ceilings which is great for certain sports. I would definitely recommend this facility as it is one of the most beautiful community centre that I have seen with a wide range of facilities to utilize. Only problem is there is not really a change room for the gymnasium. Overall a great community centre. Check it out yourself and you will agree. JimStar Out!!

It makes my local one, Milliken Community Centre, look like it's not trying hard enough! I was here for Happy Cute Mart yesterday, which occupied one of the multi-purpose rooms. When I was briefly heading towards the south entrance, I saw folks studying in the library, which was fairly close to where this event was. The room that held this event was large. The south entrance doors were accessible, with buttons to open the door and no steps to deal with. Just before this multi-purpose room, you had to option of walking up steps or using the ramp. I chose the ramp to test it out. It was good. I didn't use the washrooms during my 1.5-hour stay. They are available throughout the centre. This community centre is impressive. It houses two NHL-sized rinks that are 85 x 200 feet in length. Seating capacities are somewhat intimate for NHL regulation-sized rinks at 300 and 600 folks, depending on which rink you are at. There are six dressing rooms for each rink. This place also has a therapy pool. It has an accessibility handrail throughout the pool and deck areas, which is nice. There's also a wheelchair ramp. The pool temperature is set at 35°C. It has one gymnasium that I never got to see. I like that there's a seniors centre that is the home of the Thornhill Seniors Club. It houses one of three City of Markham Health and Fitness Centres. It also has a dance and wellness studio. Pretty cool! I feel the need to return and check out some of these programs out. I'm not using my local community centres as much as I should. There was a lot of parking around the building. I managed to find a decent parking spot on a Saturday afternoon despite the event's popularity on top of regular programs offered by this centre. I liked everything that I saw while I was here. I will return to check out the library and more. (242)

I didn't get a chance to explore the entire space, but I knew that there is a Tim Hortons on site, 2 skating rinks, a library, plus, washrooms are available throughout the community centre. There were plenty of parking spots around the building. Though for this holiday event, the lot was maxed out, and we had to park further out. The local bus actually comes through the parking lot too.

There are two parking lots that are adequate even when the schools are open. I like that the building is located on a side street far enough from Yonge St for traffic to flow well. There are 3 gymnasiums and some meeting rooms that can be rented. The gyms are also used for summer programs run by Richmond Hill Recreation. They offer archery and golf lessons as well as co-ed volleyball for a fee. I've seen some picnic tables outside and a vending machine on the way to the gyms. The auditorium in the centre of the building is spacious and has a stage. It's too bad there's no swimming pool! Occasionally, the buttons that operate the doors for people with disabilities, don't work.

Not necessarily my favorite Y, but ultimately it has most things you'd expect to find in one…read more I mentioned in a review for another Y that decor doesn't really matter with gyms. I guess that's still true but I was surprised at how much the monotone grey-scale of the entire place made it feel cold in here. I guess I'll continue with a couple more critiques. One is that I don't understand why they don't simply keep towel racks in the plus change-rooms as they do at every other Y I've ever been to. It's part of what you're paying for, and though you can get them at the front desk, it just seemed odd that they just won't keep them stocked in the change-room for convenience. The change-room itself was quite small and has virtually no seats which was a bit odd too. Apart from those minor things, the workout area is well stocked and they even have a couple unique things in what is sort of a mini studio in the middle of the workout area. One thing I really appreciate this place as a runner is that their track is longer than most of the other ones as it circles the gymnasium as well. It's nice having longer straightaways so you don't feel like you're turning most of the time. If you're strictly into using weights, they do have what you need here though you can probably find other places to go to for cheaper. However, Y's (including this one) are great for having additional amenities, which includes a full-sized pool, gymnasium, running track, programming for kids and other things. There's also often more a community feel at them and often a chance to make connections too.

When you arrive at the change area, you check-in with security to ensure you have booked the correct time slot (cannot have more than 25 skaters at any one time). The change area is separate into 6 tables to slap on your skates and enjoy the well groomed surface. The rink is more a square than the typical recto-oval we are all too familiar with. The organic nature this rink takes on, slight incline from the entrance to the natural obstacle course of bumps adds to the overall feel when enjoying the fresh air as you are doing laps and hit the unsuspecting speed bump to wake you up a bit. The staff are very friendly and love the high tech Zamboni that is deployed at the end of each 45 minute skating interval

Overall this is a pretty great community Centre with a lot of the facilities needed to keep everyone active and is a joy to visit.
