You wouldn't know it, but I secretly love rock climbing. I haven't done it a lot, but when I have…read moreit is always fun. The first place I ever tried indoor rock-climbing was at the Stronghold just of Centre Street. I think one of the reasons I loved it so much was that I immediately felt like I was walking into a community. Everyone seem to know you and they were excited that there was someone new to bring into the fold. Now since I'm not an expert climber, I can't really comment on the "courses" that are set up, but as a beginner I had a great time climbing. They were easy, but challenging. The staff really seemed like a coherent team and were willing to take time to teach you properly, after all it is their jobs. And if you don't have anyone to go with, don't worry. They have a machine that help you climb by yourself! Seems a bit sketchy, but it totally worked! As the winter months get closer and closer, you might want to look into Stronghold!

We have been once to check it out. Its $20 an hour per person but that hour can be plenty for a first time patron. My child loved it so much he begged to have his birthday party there. Booking the party was a breeze. Packages to pick from and dates and times that were available. They even called 2 days before the event to confirm times, amount of kids and all the food we ordered. Which was great. We chose a Saturday afternoon and this place was very busy. The great thing about this place is you can fill out the waiver and set-up an account online before arriving. So you're not standing in line trying to do this. A real breeze and time saver. You can also do this if you're just going in, not just for a birthday party. The kids had a blast. They had an hour to go ahead and jump around, 30 minutes to come back to our table and have food and cake, than another hour to jump and play. A party is 2.5 hours and that was more than plenty. The kids were pooped, sweaty and had so much fun. The great thing is, we also had a host who took care of everything (timing things, when the food was ready, keeping the kids on track, decorations, plates etc). The only thing we needed to take care of was bringing a birthday cake and goodie bags for the kids. They took care of everything else and was a stress-free birthday party. Which doesn't happen too often. I think all parents should take their kids here at least once. Plenty to do for all ages and what's not to love about a trampoline park? Highly recommended.

I will first say I love bringing my kids here. But this experience has been horrible. My 6yr old…read morehas been trampled, stepped on and really hurt by older kids. And when it was brought to the attention of the employees they just brushed it off going I'll talk to them. 1st incident 2 girls much older then my daughter were picking on her then purposely stepped on her head several times. And when it was brought to the attention they just shrugged and walked away. Then going through the obstacle course another bigger kid barrled over her without a second though. Running full tilt...

This neighborhood gem is a no nonsense, no frills, honest fitness facility. I come here 2-3 times a…read moreweek to do my best Michael Phelps impression. The staff are friendly and the constant presence of lifeguards make me feel safe. The pool is clean although I've seen the occasional bandaid at the bottom. There's a constant flow of swimmers who take advantage of the lane swim times. There's a dive tank and a hot tub too. The gym is small but has what you need for a productive workout. I like building up a sweat and cooling down in the pool after. The change rooms could be cleaner but that's understandable because it's so busy. Just don't look at the floor. The lockers require quarters but some lockers are free for you to use your own lock. The rates are SO CHEAP compared to Vivo and YMCA. I bought a 30x pass that never expires for $170. That comes to just under $6/entry compared to $14 drop in at the aforementioned facilities. Drop in rates and 10x passes are also City of Calgary's website along with their pool schedules. If you're not close to Thornhill, other City of Calgary facilities are dotted around the city that offer the same rates.

I've been here in the daytime and also the evening and the attendance is quite varied. Some days it is very busy and others it's very quiet. The facility is a little bit older and not as well maintained as the other city pools. The centre does have a good sized weight room. The big disappointment is the change room facilities. They have a dark dingy feel to them. Water pools around the built in tiles benches, making you want to avoid the puddles. Now they do make the effort to clean them at the end of the night, but they could wait until the patrons have left so that they don't have to walk barefoot over cleaning solution on the floor.

Checked out YYC Pickleball for open play. There's 7 indoor courts. Courts are $28.00/33.00 per hour…read more(non-prime/prime). Like how you can view court availability by day/week/month on the website. Paddle rentals are $5.00 or $8.00 for higher end. Best bang for your buck is the open play drop-in punch card ($50.00 for 5, $160.00 for 22), otherwise it's $15.00/person. Night hawk open play (5 courts) started as a free for all but eventually, one worker took charge and organized people by their level. Power nooner intermediate open play (2 courts) was better. Facilities are decent (water refill station, couch sitting areas) but no real change room. Sound's loud and echoey, difficult to hear score calling. Downside is court layout; have to walk behind people's courts to get to the middle/far ones.

A lot of unsupervised kids that use the lanes to play tag, swim side by side, race, stand and chat, not keeping to the right, using the lanes as a short cut to get to the other side of the pool. It's like there are no rules. We switched to the y because the other place was crowded but at least you had to respect the rules or got kicked out. Here, it's just plain dangerous. Someone is either going to get seriously injured or killed in this pool if things don't change.
