yesterday I was at the rec center for some therapy. I use…read morethe steam room, hot tubs and therapy pool. I also do rehab on my shoulder in the tiny lap pool. I was in the steam room and two guys came in. One was 'training for a fight' and had to lose 5lbs in a day and made sure everyone in there knew about this. These guys started barking orders at people, and talking at people, that didn't want to be spoken to. I asked them to please be quiet in the steam room because the staff never did anything about it. At first I asked the lifeguards (3 different ones) to get a handle of the situation. They didn't. So when I asked these young men to please be quiet. I got an earful of insults. "why are you such a c.. " " you miserable human being" " when was the last time someone .... you good" "you must be depressed, you should just die" and the list goes on.. (the irony is I am clinically depressed, and this is not what I need at a community rec center) Not one single staff member or lifeguard took control of this. I left there.. more miserable than I did walking in. This is a facility for therapy, this is a facility for family and kids.This is a place for people to come and relax, and you know. rehabilitate.. it's what it's meant for. This is not a place for professional trainers to come to and start barking orders at other patrons to follow suit to his needs I am completely turned off at how the staff handled this, and that excessive talking and loud mouths are even ALLOWED to be acting like that in a steam room, or just act like that at the facility. I didn't come here to listen to your life problems. Not only that I was insulted over and over again until I had to remove myself from the situation. So I never got to do my physical therapy I am required to do right now for my shoulder. IF the guy was trying to lose 5 lbs in one way for a fight. This to me sounds like a personal problem, and someone didn't do their proper training. Instead we all got stressed out by this guy that wouldn't shut up about himself and his needs the entire time. He's probably not going to do well on that fight either. You can't lose 5 lbs in a steam room in one day. I might never come here again and take the longer journey to west van rec center just to avoid this awful experience/feeling and the fact that the staff doesn't do anything about this reckless behaviour.

Kidlet was sad the hotel we were staying at did not have a pool and saw this pool online and booked tickets. Had read reviews that there is not seating and figured a towel would be ok. Took some towels from the hotel and planned to settle in while kidlet swam. There is no where to put your towel except on pebbled concrete (they have painted squares on the ground I assume so people have space) or the grass. There are some concrete/rocked walls that you can sit on. Pool is very large/long. The lap swimming area is roped off from the shallow "recreational" swim. The recreational swim area is very shallow (2 feet deep). Kidlet was disappointed as they wanted to go in the deep area but there is no space for the deep area as it is all for lap swimmers. They have slides that slide into the deep area but you cannot use them as they are in the area where people are swimming laps. The pool is "heated" to 72 degrees. We were there for the morning session 9-11:30 and it was windy so we lasted less than an hour. Changing areas are very basic. Large open area with lockers (.25 refundable) with 2 changing stalls and some restrooms stalls off to the side of the changing area. There were open cubbies on the pool deck to store items as well. Fee was $7.94 for 1 adult and child/youth admission plus .95 ticket fee, and .45 GST total $9.34 CAD or $6.82 USD. Overall very inexpensive for some beautiful views. If you want to go I recommend renting or borrowing chairs unless you have a body of steel that enjoys laying/sitting on hardened pebbles.

It's $7.50~ and you can get combo tickets for similar prices for an adult and child or adult and senior! Parking on Vine or Balsam will be better than paying for parking in the Kitsilano lot but give yourself advanced time to find it if you're hoping for free parking. Beautiful view overlooking Kitsilano Beach, the water and North Shore Mountains. Spacing was great. There are a lot of people doing lane swimming practice so be careful and aware of the marked areas or expect to be spoken to over the megaphone of the life guard. Bring a blanket and snacks to dry off around the side. Depth is up to 8 feet in some areas. We have gone three times in the past month and the process has been super easy purchasing tickets online and lining up near the Kitsilano Boatshow theatre to get in. I recommend prebooking tickets instead of link by up for drop in in the off chance you cannot get in!

The Killarney Community Centre is located at 6260 Killarney Street,Vancouver,BC…read more This is designed for a multi-sport synthetic turf field (or multi-use athletic field) and engineered to handle multiple sports and community events rather than just a single activity. While the 2026 World Cup Soccer Championship (FIFA) were used this facility for warm up and training Center. The police vehicles were always parked outside to keep the security of their guests in the field. Key Features : It designed for Multi-Sport Striping: The artificial turf typically features overlapping, color-coded boundary lines laid directly into the surface to accommodate sports like soccer, field hockey, rugby, lacrosse, and ultimate frisbee without needing repainting. Perimeter Running / Warm-Up Track: The bright blue track encircling the turf serves as a surface for track events, training sprints, team warm-ups, and walking/jogging. All-Weather Turf: Because it uses synthetic infill turf rather than natural grass, it provides consistent drainage and durability, allowing continuous use through rain and heavy foot traffic without turning to mud. Commercial High-Mast Lighting: The tall floodlight towers along the perimeter allow games, practice sessions, and community tournaments to extend into the evening.

I love the idea of a community centre with multiple facilities. Gym, pool, skating rink, PLUS a…read morelibrary and café -- check, check, check. And it's modern? We love new, up-to-date facilities. I've used all their facilities except for the skating rink (so I like to think I'm a fairly reliable source). You can pay drop-in for gym and/or pool for $7.50 (yep, you can use both facilities in the same day if you want). Gym isn't huge but there are still enough machines/benches/treadmills to go around. You could totally do a full workout without waiting your turn (unless it's after 4 on a weekday, aka peak gym hours everywhere). Pool is one of the best in Vancouver, given that it's new and has a lot of features. A good number of swimming lanes, leisure pools, a lazy river, 3 diving boards, a big hot tub, a sauna (that is not so big) and a steam room. Showers are fine as far as public pool showers go (the curtains don't fully shut but still better than UBC's) and you can bring your own lock for the lockers. I love that there's a library because I can head on over post-workout and enter a different kind of calm, zen mindset as I peruse the shelves. Whose idea was it to attach a library to every community centre (and can we get more of that, please!)? There will always be something to gripe about with every community centre (sometimes there are way too many people in one swimming lane and I'm not sure why they don't open up another), but as far as Hillcrest goes, it has a lot to offer. A really great place to hit up all the facilities in one stop, or to bring the kids along for a fun-filled, athletic and/or academic weekend. Also, the staff is GREAT and so kind. Kudos to them!

‼Sexual Harassment Warning‼…read more I experienced sexual harassment at this pool on July 21, 2026, at around 7:10 PM, and I have already reported the incident to the police. A white male repeatedly followed me around the pool and intentionally positioned himself so that my feet came into contact with his genital area multiple times. When I confronted him directly about his behavior, he said, "Thanks for the touching, I really appreciate it." I immediately started recording the conversation on my Apple Watch and asked him why he "appreciated" it. After I confronted him, he appeared startled and quickly tried to leave. I immediately reported the incident to the lifeguard, but he went into the men's change room and fled before staff could identify him. What is especially concerning is that the facility was unable to identify the individual because there was no record of his entry, and I was informed that there are no security cameras. This made it impossible to verify his identity or track his movements after the incident. I hope the facility reviews its safety procedures, including visitor access and surveillance, so that incidents like this can be investigated properly and other visitors can be better protected.
