This is a great place to play ice hockey, indoor soccer or do some ice skating…read more What I love about watching my husband and friends play hockey at 8 Rinks, is that you can watch in the comfort of the restaurant upstairs. You're not pressured to purchase any food or drinks so I like that flexibility. There's a couple of massage chairs in case you wanted to relax and most importantly, it is WARM upstairs. Yay! If you do want to purchase food, I usually order the nachos. The portions are huge and I find they are the tastiest items on the menu. Go for the Irish Nachos if you have room for extra room and deliciousness! http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/p9DWM8w27HhNUgLev1wJEA?select=Q-GBX69EPPuRbjfE48944w (instead of corn tortilla chips, you get deep fried potatoes) Note: There's plenty of parking and it is always free.

The bench area also has TVs , washrooms , change rooms , vending machines and a kids busy board type wall fixtures. Near the front is a concession stand with your standard assortment of hot / cold drinks , popcorn and baked foods. There is another room for getting your skate rentals. They had the cutest inflatables set up for the holiday season! There is ample amount of diagonal parking just in front of the rink and a larger lot further in ( which I think is for school parking during the weekdays but we were here on the weekend) I always forget about public skate days but would be a good weekend outing.

Smaller rink than a normal hockey rink but still just as fun! During the holidays it got a bit crowded. Everyone wanted to embrace the holiday spirit and there was a live band playing that night so traffic in and around the area was buzzing. I'll let the pictures and videos do the talking. The staff was courteous and down to earth and they even had lockers for your personal belongings.

Although Harry Jerome is in the middle of a huge renovation, it still has the same small town, North Vancouver feel. It will be amazing when it is all finished! The only issue right now is the lack of available parking. There used to be lots of free parking, but now it is a huge construction site. Parking and traffic are awful everywhere along Lonsdale Ave., so you must get creative. It would be helpful to have more handicapped parking spots, but we will have to figure that out.

Most of the time, they are set up for lanes, but at public swim times, the waterslide and diving boards are opened up. There is also a nice big hot tub to relax in - although I've always been horrified by the many "No shaving" signs that dot the area. No running, no horseplay, but shaving? Who exactly is shaving in the hot tub? Some things are best left a mystery. I also like the authentic wooden sauna here, although it is kind of small. The best time to go is during one of the dollar swim or dollar skate sessions, although as you might expect, these are the busy times. But not too too busy, and probably the best little fitness deal in the city. (Harry Jerome is just near the top of the Upper Levels highway in North Van, so rather close, actually, for you brave bridge crossers.)
