    This is a wonderful Community Centre, serving our fantastic Community in a safe environment in the…read moreexquisite Park which is Earl Bales. A gem in the heart of Downsview. We went there to vote on Good Friday. The Community Centre has activities for our Community of all ages! We utilize Earl Bales Park frequently in the summer for long walks in the beautiful woods and on the trails. Picnic/BBQ spots are in high demand in the better weather months so reserve early.

    The pool changing rooms, bathrooms and showers are very dirty. The backsplash and floor where water…read moreruns in the shower hasn't been cleaned in years it seems, with hair and God knows what collecting there. Some showers have been broken for years (like the handheld one). I can only talk for the staff in the women's only hours of Sundays. They open late, they claim not having "enough staff" to man the different pool areas, when you can see up to four or five people hanging out at the office area of the pool on their phones or eating. How much of a break they need if they only work for 1 hr 45 mins? None of them look athletic or like they even know how to swim. They are always eating. If it is a long weekend they kick us out early, with the excuse of "it's a long weekend and people need to be with their families", one day they kicked us out with no excuse only vaguely alleging "it's a fire hazard" and they were expecting us to go outside in our bathing suits and "wait there", many women refused and one said "I'm getting my stuff, call the cops if you want". The level of the staff is downright horrible, they are useless and talk down to the people as if they were simple. That is a community center, not jail or the military, they are not "in charge of us", they work there and we pay with our taxes. They should start charging a small fee for people to attend and make these clowns accountable, they are there to work, not to be on the phone and eat and yell at each other and people attending

    I want to highlight the excellent service from Angela of the Front Desk. She mantains…read moreprofessionalism in all her interactions and handles conflicts with ease. She also builds strong relationships with community members and she is a good active listener.

    Currently, recreational activities are closed because of the lockdowns. But as I reminisce the good…read moreol' days pre-pandemic, Matty Eckler was one of those places that put a great jumpstart to my weekend morning. I come here for their drop-in volleyball at 9:30 am on Saturday, but let's be real, regulars know you should be there much earlier to get a coveted spot. You'll find us volleyballers eagerly lining up outside early morning at the dead of winter before the community centre even opens. I like it in a way because it motivates a night owl like me to get up early, fit in volleyball and still have the rest of my day to make plans/run errands. Skill level is diverse, most people can pass, and a few people can spike for some interesting plays. It's unspoken, but people encourage 3 touches before going over the net -a welcoming bunch of all ages (from Uni students to mature folks 40+). You'll find an occasional noobie and a brilliant player who can really kill the ball. One time I took an L to the face from a spike. So don't say I didn't warn you, don't wear glasses and get your reflexes up. The gym is not large, only one court, but it received an OVO facelift, thanks to Raptors and Drake! We form our own teams and adjust the skill levels in teams for better rallies. The winning team only stays on max 2 games, so no worries in one team hogging the court. Not trying to sell this too hard so this place can be our best-kept secret when it opens again. Please don't come. Just kidding... not kidding.

    We use this facility for the pool with the kids, and the library…read more The pool is not very big but decent, the instructors are very professional and experienced, nice with the kids. Family changing room is always crowded, there is almost no place to put your things (4 working lockers for any amount of kids at the time), not too clean. Note that while you are waiting for your child, there will be nowhere to sit so some parents have to wait in the car. The library is very small, open 4 days a weeks for a couple of hours.

    This place has picked up in the cleaning, and last time i visited I enjoyed it…read more The pool is small but available to adult swimming almost everyday regular hours . if half of the chlorine were used , it would be exellent the gym equipment is updated . nice place to work out if you don't want a year expensive membership at regular health clubs. before 5pm and after 5pm prices vary, not much classes are offered in the afternoon for the afternoon visitors just early am classes, most good classes are for after 5pm prime price , a lot of concentration is put on children programs. love the big free parking lot space just for visitor and members only. you get an odd nutty woman with a baby in the car who just yells at people in the parking as wanneh be parking police lot but that is just the area or maybe xmas stress so have your earplugs mp3 player on your ears but good thing you don't see the stressed parents type with kids in the gym area where is more calm and serine place to work out.
