Great equipment, great clientele, great ambience to get motivated for health and fitness. I have…read morebeen working out for 50 years and this is my favorite place to be. The pool is alot of fun, sauna is steam and hits all bells and whistles, go early! Great staff, always very helpful. Kids and young adults are respectful.

Booked a birthday party last weekend (Jan 19 2025) unfortunately didn't get a chance to make it to…read morethe pool due to someone pooping in it, so both kids were frustrated and upset so went and waited in the party area while the kids played at the indoor playground I kept checking in to see if it was ready and asked them to please let me know when the pool was ready, but when it came to the end of my booking I saw that the pool was open (i don't know how long it was open for) but no one came to let us know that the pool was open so we left without two upset kids without a chance to swim (what we came for)

My favourite library in the area…read more I enjoy the convenient location being a 5 minute walk away, the free underground parking and street level parking, the large spacious area spread across 2 levels, the architectural accents, delightful artistic mosaic pieces. Let's not forget there's actually a cafe inside the library! Who wouldn't enjoy curling up with a good book and a latte here? :) The strathcona library also has a bunch of programs available ranging from kids to adults, a decent size rack of books & movies on sale outside the main doors in the lobby, and lovely staff. Bonus: it's inside the Community Centre, which hosts a variety of different events throughout the year, such as farmers markets during the evening of a particular weekday during the spring & summer (Wednesday's I think?). Also! New Years in the Park is great! Free hot chocolate and they still lit fireworks this past New Year's Day (the -freezing day)

This library is a good spot for young kids. There were enough activities to keep our two year old…read moreoccupied. He enjoyed the Duplo table, and the metal bead mazes that were dotted around the Enchanted Forest, which is a section of the library on the main floor dedicated to young children. There's also a set of wodden bins with board books in them at just the right height for him, so he was able to pick out and read books himself. There's also a small table that looks like a produce stand, where plastic and foam food items sit in buckets that the children can interact with. There's also a set of 4 computers that I'm sure have child-friendly activities on them. There is also a puppet theatre in a small but against the back wall which we didn't have time to play with but certainly looked interesting.

I've only been to this city of Edmonton recreation facility once for a private booking (birthday…read moreparty) but it was an excellent location for it. As usual the lifeguards were great. The pool is constructed to be used for people who have mobility needs among other kinds of disabilities and while the facility is old (you can see the time period wherein it was constructed reflected in the way that the building is set up), it is well maintained and certainly recently renovated. I was quite happy with the pool itself which was reasonably warm, large and inviting. The hot tub isn't as warm as other pools though so that was a bit less than ideal. I liked the set up of the space and the room that we booked for the party was huge and very convenient afterward. It is a bit out of the way (probably requires driving from many areas of town) but there's lots of parking and it is in a beautiful park area.

The best thing about this pool is that it's warm! I believe it was specifically built to meet the…read moreneeds of people with special needs. It has a ramp to enter the pool and has cranes to lift people in and out of the pool who require help. I have participated in recreational swim and aquasize classes here which is so nice because it is so warm! One down side is the pool is EXTREMELY chlorinated. When I inquired once, I was told that it's is because of the clientelle they service - again, I think this is referencing those with special needs. There is an old fashioned step ladder slide for children to slide into the deep end but no real other play structures. If you get cold in swimming pools, you will be a fan of this place!

This is an absolutely magnificent space! We attended a plant night talk by Dora of Nature's…read moreElements which was a vivacious and educational talk where we learned a bunch about when and how to plant/start your garden she is uber knowledgeable and did a great job, we then planted several plants of our choosing. Highly would recommend this event for anyone interested in learning about growing anything The venue itself is gorgeous every single wall has some piece of art on it that is breathtaking, there are a couple of smaller businesses That reside in the space as well as studios for artists. I learned that there are paint nights hosted by the very man who panted many of the paintings in the space so expect something creative to flow from that class. Whether you need a large space for a cocktail party or a boardroom for an important meeting you can rent the space through their site, I know I'll be checking it out
