They also run summer/ March break sporting camps (tennis, basketball). This centre also features a play place in a room with really high ceilings - includes a small play structure and some kids toys throughout. There is a small sensory room that is always supervised. A large library with private study rooms available for booking. The pool is so spacious and bright! Large pool available for lane swim and a decent size kid pool. There is also a waterslide and small splash pad that isn't always in use/ turned on. The onsite gym isn't the largest but has decent equipment and a nice large 3 lane track (slow, medium, fast) that overlooks the gymnasium from above. Parking garage has been under construction for years. It also doesn't connect to the rec centre directly during this time of construction/ sometimes the elevator is not operational which is inconvenient especially in the winter when you have to exit the parking garage only to walk a few meters to enter the rec centre.

I've brought my kids here for basketball and swimming classes. We visit this library from time to time. I've also rented their meeting rooms before for my kid's birthday party - very spacious.

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

Oak Ridges Community Centre is the newest community center in Richmond Hill…read more It is definitely impressive! Facilities includes a 6 lane leisure pool with a slide, Oak Ridges Moraine Eco Centre, a fitness and aerobic studio, a gymnasium and more. There are also various city sponsored programs held year round in the centre. We ended up coming here for one of the Moonlight Movies Night. The set up is perfect utilizing the nature amphitheatre like landscape at the back of the Centre. Watching a movie under the stars on a hot summer night is such a treat!

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!!

All's well at Chinguacousy Wellness…read more I went here for the first time a couple weeks ago and actually had a great time. My gf took me here because her pass at Goodlife expired and tbh my expectations were low but this place made quite an impression on me. All the gym equipment is in the middle of the room and there is a track that goes around it. It's neat how they managed to incorporate a track like that because now you never have to wait for a treadmill. At the corners of the track, there are spaces to do stretches/mattress exercises. The best part is the huge windows that allow lots of natural light to come in. The one thing I didn't like about the Goodlife in BCC is that it is in a basement and there are zero windows. So it was great to walk into Wellness Centre and be able to absorb that vitamin D while working out. To top it off, they lemon flavoured water that you can choose to drink if you get tired of regular water! Yeah, I really liked this place. The only negative would be that it's still a pretty small gym compared to the Goodlife gym nearby (main competitor). The great set up of the equipment kind of makes up for the smaller space but I find there's a bit more wait time for the equipment during peak hours than at Goodlife. Overall fantastic gym, I was impressed.

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

As a parent who cares deeply about the well-being of my children and other families in the community, I feel obligated to raise these issues publicly because the current conditions may place visitors, especially children, at risk. My first concern is the parking and traffic management outside the center. During the event, there were far more visitors than available parking spaces. As a result, vehicles were parked improperly, including along main walking routes used by families and children. This created congestion and confusion. Even more concerning, several drivers were moving through the area at unsafe speeds while children were walking between the entrance and driveway. I personally witnessed situations where children appeared close to being struck by passing vehicles. There were no visible staff members outside to direct traffic, no temporary traffic control measures, and no clear signage to guide drivers. In addition, some corners of the parking area have poor visibility, making it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians approaching. Installing convex safety mirrors at blind corners would significantly improve visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. Without immediate improvements, the site appears vulnerable to a serious incident. My second concern is overcrowding inside the building. Once inside, the center was extremely crowded, with little visible organization or crowd control. There did not appear to be anyone monitoring the number of attendees or guiding visitors. This raised concerns about emergency preparedness and fire safety. In the event of an evacuation or emergency, it is unclear how people would exit quickly and safely. A busy public venue should have clear occupancy controls, proper supervision, and emergency planning procedures in place at all times. Another issue was the lack of attentiveness from staff at the information desk. I observed a young staff member focused on a cellphone while visitors around him appeared confused and in need of assistance. At a time when many guests required guidance, staff should be actively engaged, approachable, and available to help. Public-facing employees should understand that they represent the center and are often the first point of contact for visitors. Most disappointing was an interaction with a staff member identified as Eva. I politely asked for information about the event, but her response was dismissive and unfriendly. She stated that the activity was run by another group and was "not her business," then told me to ask them myself. Regardless of which organization was hosting the event, staff on duty inside the center should respond respectfully and make reasonable efforts to assist visitors. Basic courtesy, patience, and professionalism are expected in any community facility. Overall, I am disappointed that such an important community center appears to prioritize attendance numbers over safety and visitor experience. I strongly urge management to address the following issues immediately: improve parking and traffic control, install mirrors at blind corners, review occupancy and fire safety procedures, ensure staff remain attentive while on duty, and provide customer service training for employees.

105 Gibson Centre is a community centre owned by a Christian church. It doesn't look very big from…read morethe outside, but it's quite spacious inside. Parking is along the outside perimeter of the building and fills up quickly if there's an event. I was only in the open area (room 108, which is 2,340 square feet) and the kitchen (room 109) for an event. It didn't start off well when we arrived. The tables and chairs were supposed to already be set up, but they weren't. This delayed the opening of the event. Since it's an open area, people using other parts of the centre may wander into the space. The kitchen was a big space with multiple sinks, fridges, ovens, a flattop grill, and stoves with a large island. Two things that were a bummer were that the dishwasher did not work and that there was water dripping from the ceiling vent, which worsened when it started raining outside.
