This sports centre in Kings Square shopping mall has been open for about two months. It is located…read moreon the second floor of the shopping centre. There is lots of parking, both underground and outside the premises. The basketball court looks very new with shiny floors, high ceilings and is well lit. I didn't notice any paint fumes while there that others have complained about. Half court ($80 per hour) and full court ($120 per hour) rentals are available with advanced booking. Drop in use of the basketball courts ($15 per person) is from 3-10pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. They have membership pricing for pickleball and table tennis. Early bird discount prices ($5) for pickleball from 8am to 10am, with prices ranging from $10-$15 the rest of the day.

The young owner is very rude and very mean. I regret i had bought an annual card for table tennis.read more

I was recently at Iroquois Park Complex. It wasn't for sports. I was here meeting up with friends…read morefor lunch at BarDown Gastropub. It's the only restaurant at this sports complex that operates separately from the concessions stands at the complex itself. This sports centre is Canada's largest municipally owned and operated recreation facility. It's huge, as it houses six arenas. Many hockey teams are here to practise and play, including the Whitby Wildcats. It also has two indoor pools. BarDown Gastropub is great if you want to grab a bite to eat before or after a game. Our group wasn't here for sports, so it works for lunch and dinner. The food is excellent. It also houses the largest screen in Whitby to see the latest sports games. Since the City of Whitby owns this property, it has a contract with Pepsi. You get Pepsi products at concession stands, vending machines, and BarDown Gastropub. There are banquet and meeting rooms that you can rent. It also has a pro shop to get your skates sharpened and athletic training facilities. When it's warmer outside, this place has six tennis courts, five baseball diamonds, and a soccer field open. It's huge here. There is lots of parking. It's free. I was here with friends on a Sunday afternoon. This sports complex is open every day from 8:30 am till roughly 8:30 pm. If you have a water bottle, you can fill it up at the water bottle fill-up station. It was nice checking this place out briefly. It's cool and a valuable asset to Whitby and beyond. (79)

I always try to avoid going to Crosby Memorial Community Centre for any activities or event or…read moreclasses. Compared to other Markham's Community Centre this is the worse of them all facilities wise. The equipment here: mats, dumb bells are all so dirty! Then I found out that Crosby was "opened in 1928 with an arena pad with a sand floor base and four dressing rooms. In 1959 the sand floor was converted to concrete. Additions were made to the arena in 1962 and 1971, and in 1974 seating was added." 1928!!! Even the newest additional was added in 1974..... The only good thing about coming to Crosby is it is right inside Old Unionville.

National Hockey Rinks Newmarket is one of the three arenas built and operated by a private company…read morethat has managed to succeed and (I'm assuming) turn a profit while competing against the government and an army of volunteers (which is pretty much the way most rinks operate in Canada). The other two NTR arenas are in Richmond Hill and Barrie. Each arena features two small ice pads, about half the square footage of an NHL rink. They are perfect size for little kids to train or to run a 3-on-3 pond hockey league for "kids" ages 5 to 75. Games are fast. Typical scores are into double digits. It's a very different kind of hockey that's played here. Hockey camps, power skating clinics, goalie schools -- you name it, and it's here. There isn't an arena with more "community" feel to it than NTR.

Simply put, the workers at NTR are beyond rude, abrasive, ill mannered and temperamental. My entire…read moreexperience with NTR was a nightmare to say the least. I was dealing with Rick at the Richmond Hill facility and never in my life have I experienced someone so unprofessional and rude in a workplace. What started off as an exciting opportunity to have a gathering with some friends to play hockey in a mini-rink turned into an unpleasant and abhorrent experience. Rick had some of the worst customer service skills I have ever come across which were borderline repugnant. I advise anyone to please attend a different mini-rink or rink facility that is not NTR. You will have a less than pleasant experience, and that is being generous.

Centennial Arena is part of the Centennial Recreation Centre…read more A Skate, Swim, Fitness, Dance, Vollyeball multi-usage facility. The main attraction is location, location, location. Also parking, parking, parking. On the occasion I meet up with Friends on Friday evenings for skating, this is it. Reason aside from the above, is the scheduling of their Friday night skate. Public Skate 7:30 - 9pm Adult Skate 9:15 - 10:45pm The two skate times are in two different arenas but considering the combination, a three-hour skate is more than satisfying. The cost of such a facility is the popularity, too much of a crowd during Public Skate althought Adult Skate is more than comfortable but the Adult Skate doesn't have boards for those beginner Adults. TGIF. Enjoy Dinner with Friends. Go for some recreational Skating.

I have been going to Centennial Recreation Centre for the last 3 summers for indoor ice-skating,…read morebut never realized they were listed on Yelp until today. From about May until September, this is the only City of Toronto facility that provides free leisure skating time, and my 4-star rating is generally about the skating facilities as this is the only part that I have used. During the summer, skating times are usually 9.00-10.30pm on Friday and Saturday evenings, and there is always at least one attendant on-duty and usually on the ice. I have mostly gone on Saturdays, and there can be anywhere from 20-30 people there, which on their full-sized ice surface is not very crowded. A few of those people are usually huddled in the centre doing some figure skating, while the rest skate around in the usual oval path; the attendant will signal the skaters to switch direction about halfway thru. There are no boards or permanent seating as in a hockey arena; there is only a short curb around the ice surface, and there are plenty of temporary bleachers around to put on your skates or just take a short break. There are also washroom / changing rooms within the arena, but I have never been in so cannot comment on them. There are also washrooms and a snack bar in the lobby of the centre. Outside of summer, there are additional times during the day available for public leisure skating, as well as other times restricted to children and older-adults (60+). They also offer learn-to-skate programs at various levels, and some type of ice-dance program that I have seen on one of their posters. There is a second rink that I believe is used for hockey only, a swimming pool for both lessons and leisure swimming, and apparently a fitness / weight-room that I have never seen. There are also basketball and tennis courts outside, along with a huge parking lot that has just undergone a complete renovation and re-paving. Overall, a very good recreation centre that provides a wide variety of City-sponsored services to the public.

This was honestly such a fun place to catch a game. I went on a Thursday night to watch the Toronto…read moreRaptors and the whole experience was just amazing from start to finish, especially because they got the win! The arena itself is right in the heart of downtown, so the whole area around it already feels super alive before you even walk in. There's people everywhere, jerseys, food spots nearby, and just that pre-game energy that makes it so fun. Inside, it was packed but in a good way, like full energy, loud, exciting, everyone already hyped before tip-off. I had seats in the 300 level and honestly I don't even think that's a bad thing at all. The view from up there is actually really solid, you can see the whole court properly and the energy from the crowd feels even more spread out and intense. Service-wise, everything was pretty organized. It was busy, so lines and movement around the concourse can get a bit crowded at times, but nothing unexpected for a Raptors game night. Once you're settled in your seat though, it's smooth and you can just focus on the game. Overall, I'd 100% recommend going at least once if you're in Toronto. It's not just about basketball, it's the full experience: the crowd, the energy, the location, and just being part of that atmosphere. Even from the 300s, it still feels like a really good seat. Definitely one of those experiences that's way more fun in person than on TV.

The main rink has lots of chair-back seating and is more than enough for the crowds that minor hockey typically draws. The production of the game itself was pretty good, not unlike any junior or lower-level minor hockey game. The price of admission ($10) is more than fair for an evening of entertainment. There were concessions available outside in the large lobby area, but I didn't test anything out this time. Parking is plentiful and there are several entrances on all sides of the building. If you park at the wrong entrance for the program you're attending, you could be in for a long walk. All in all, a gem of a facility that Brantford should be proud of. If you're in need of something to do, a 99ers game is definitely worth your while.

I would love it if we had the occasion to go back! A very nice place.
