    I was really happy with the staff who were checking ID and immunization QR codes when I came here…read moreto take my kid to Sportball. The facility seems to be in good repair and the mini gym where sportball was held was well maintained and the venue had ample parking. I am definitely interested in taking the kid here again someday to check out the toddler play structure when it is available. The pool looks nice. I haven't swum here in over 20+ years so I really can't adequately review it nowadays but I have fond memories of swimming here in any case.

    Came to Kinsmen Leisure Centre yesterday for a toddler birthday party…read more My review is for the amenities used for the toddler play & party room. The play room is for children 6 & under. It had optional black lights throughout the room which the kiddos loved! There were plenty of slides, climbing structures, giant foam building pieces, gymnastic mats, and a rock climbing wall! It was clean, it was bright, it was spacious! Adjoining the playroom was a large party room with tables, chairs, washroom, sink, counter area. My only complaint is that my kiddos could see & smell the pool which led to incessant requests to go swimming... So we will likely go swimming today! I think the mom said it was $170 for 2 hours. Balloons & piñatas are not allowed due to the air intake system. Overall, I'd give it a 9 out of 10! 2 hours is a pretty tight window to set up, play, eat, open presents, and clean up. The next group was waiting for us to leave at the 2 hour mark.

    This is the best LA fitness in town! I travel from Los Angeles to Edmonton often and the staff here…read moreis phenomenal! I choose this location because of its size and quality of equipment! Jess A., the lovely front desk lady made my day yesterday! She is so friendly and knowledgeable, and assisted me with several questions I had about my membership. She emailed me all the information I need to upgrade my account so I can use it in California and Alberta at the best price! I noticed throughout my workout that she did a phenomenal job with the LA fitness clientele, she was popular amongst the gym goers and clearly loves her job! Thank you LA fitness - you guys are doing a fabulous job despite all of the challenges with the mandates and COVID rules... always smiling and going above and beyond our expectations!

    Shortly after joining this gym and signing up for…read more personal training, I decided to cancel my membership and my personal training sessions for a few reasons. Every time I visited either the steam room, dry sauna or hot tub were closed/out of commission. One reason I chose this gym is because they told me it is child free, however there were always kids running around in the change room as there were swimming lessons taking place. These points are the least of my concerns however. When I decided to cancel, I was directed to the general manager Justin Moxon. He had told me that he was disappointed to see me go, but he understood, he assured me my membership & personal training was to be cancelled and I would receive a refund for the personal training I had paid for. They were in fact not cancelled, I met with him on multiple occasions and he insisted that it would be cancelled and I would be issued a refund. That was back in the summer of 2025 and it is currently February 2026. The issues I had with the gym are one thing, but constantly being lied to is another issue altogether. They are currently being sued by The FTC in the US for this, so beware.

    I want to give this place 4 and a half stars because it ain't missing much…read more Prices for drop ins 8$, check! Free lockers, check! Swim suit driers, check! Long, long, deep swimming lanes, check! Cold pool water, check! Diving boards, check! Hot tub, check! Sauna, check! Cold and hot showers by steam/sauna, check! Steam room, check! Lounge areas, check! Skylights, check! Great attitudes at the pool, Life guards and swimmers alike, check! I swear to dog, this is the best pool in the city. I'm a wacko who actually enjoys the colder temperatures of the pool! The only things its missing is higher diving boards and a bigger Sauna/Steam room,( they are always full). And maybe a deeper pool. From my point of view, those are they only things other pools in Etown are doing better.

    The Peter Hemmingway Fitness and Leisure Centre serves the northwest part of the city. Peter…read moreHemmingway Fitness and Leisure Centre, formerly known as Coronation Fitness Centre, has recently undergone a renovation to include a large built in whirlpool (thank you very much) and overall maintenance. The pool area is 50m, has and wet and dry sauna and a large observation area (accessible from both on and off the pool deck) and is home to the Coronation Triathlon. The large bank of south facing windows lets in amble light and doesn't make you feel like you're sitting in a humid brick cube. The weight room is located in the basement and is rather small, but does suit the bill. This is the first location I started with a trainer a few years ago and holds good memories for me. The change rooms are decent, but if you're working out take flip-flops with you so your feet and socks don't get wet while going through the change room. Tennis courts and a sports field are located just outside is a nice change of pace when the weather is nice. Parking can sometimes be crowded as traffic from comes the arena and school next door. It's a good facility and offers lots of programs for both aquatics and fitness. Because the facility is city run, admission fees are a bit high. But if you purchase a multi-facility pass you can use all of the city rec centres - good bang for your buck.

This was a first time for me heading to Queen Elizabeth outdoor poor. Located by Kinsmen Park and right on the river valley. Once all the construction is finished by the bridge, I bet that will be a lovely walk in the summer. Pack up for a day out because there is nowhere to buy food. Picnic is a must! There are a lot of nice spots to sunbathe, hide in the shade and sit by the pool. The pool is large but on a sunny summer day be prepared for it to be busy! There isn't a ton of room once in but I do like that they divide the pool up into three sections. One for kids, one for people just floating or swimming leisurely, and one for divers. There were a lot of divers! It made for great people watching. As I mentioned, it's free to go. The door staff just check your bags and make you empty water bottles out before you can enter. The changing facilities and wash rooms are clean and well maintained.

    One of the best outdoor pools in Edmonton. Extremely crowded on hot days. Since it doesn't open…read morefor public swimming until 11 the lineup can get long and take a while to get in. I got there 20 min before they opened and there was already a lineup. There are a few big trees on the grass for shade and lounge chairs in the sun. The zero-depth pool entry is great for kids to walk in and play in the shallow water.
