It's for all ages that they can enjoy the pool, but only certain age could be going on the slice. That's a big slice that gets 2 turns inside the tunnel and water pushes all the way from the top to bottom. It looks so much fun. The community center is also renting out the meeting rooms for different occasions, like parties. On the wall, there are different programs information. Kids around the area are able to learn more things.

I have spent time doing work here to change things up. There is free wifi and places to sit down to work. I did that well before the pandemic, so I'm not sure what things are like these days. This community centre used to be a voting poll. I have cast my vote a bunch of times over the years, but it seems to have been cast off the voting poll island in recent years. Armandale Community Centre took over that roll, except for our recent federal election. Pacific Mall took over, which was nice and weird. The washrooms aren't the cleanest here. The last time I used the women's washroom, it was disgusting. I hope that things are better these days. There is a large pool. If you are a parent, you can watch your kids swim from afar through windows. These days, I simply go through the McDonald's drive-thru. Depending on how hungry I am, I'll either park and eat, or take five minutes to drive home. Recently, it was the former. Afterwards, I threw my garbage out. The recycle and garbage area is in front of the main entrance. There is also a recycling depot here, just behind McDonald's. You can drop off Styrofoam from electronics and appliances, which I had to do recently. I liked how the Pool sign was missing the letter l in front of the main entrance. Milliken Mills High School is next door. Perhaps a student there decided to cause some mischief. I enjoyed the laugh! (385)

If your kids are the top 5 in the team then you are lucky, the Coach will try to treat you kids nicely and give your kids much more play time than the other kids. If your kids are not so great for example if they are last 3 in the team, it was like a nightmare. The Coach is trying to create a wolf culture in the team. If you are the top player , you can take other players time to play. If you are at the bottom, you are not deserve to play. They are trying to teach a group of 11 year old boy how cruel the world is, weak meat strong eat. There is no fairness, no compassionate, no caring about other kids' feeling. There is only fighting to win the game. The Coach will find any excuses to kick your kids out of the court letting the other kids who play better substitute you. The kids' confidence will be destroyed by this. This team's spirit is encouraging discrimination to the less competent players in the team. I want my boy to be himself, I want him know if he is trying he can improve. Enjoy to play even he lost the game but he tried. I want my boy understand team work, be compassionate and willing to help. So I won't choose a team like this ever again no matter the coaches' training skill good or not.

Anyone looking for some sand action, here's your fix. Beach Blast offers Friday night and Sunday…read moreafternoon drop ins. I've been to the Friday night drop in ($17, from 9pm - 1am) a few times now and actually quite liked it as compared to the other indoor volleyball courts in Toronto. HUGE area with super cool post industrial/factory "decor" from the previous operation. A little challenging to get up there if you don't have a car, walking up a dark street from the bus stop..is not for the faint of heart. Getting home from there at night via TTC is another challenge. Best advice: carpool/ taxi, or go for their Sunday (DAY ITME) drop-ins Liked that it's not too cold inside since it wouldn't be nice to freeze the moment you stopped playing/ waiting for the next game. It's usually not too busy when I was there, so it's awesome not to be sitting around and wait. I find that people that play there are friendlier as well. Good mix of people playing 2's, 4's and 6's. Not too hard to find a partner/team if you go alone. Here's how it works when I was there, Winner stay, loser out. You find a partner/team and go to the court you want to play in, call the next game and play the winner. If there's a lineup, then usually peeps would agree on maximum 3 wins per team consecutively. Sometimes there's a flipping score broad laying around, it will be great if you can ask someone along the side to keep score. If not, just keep score and call out every time one serve. Yes, yes, it's just a game, why take it so seriously? Well, nothing is more annoying for people who are called the next game just to found out that NOBODY were keeping score. There are lots of space and showers in the washroom. Go through a maze and then you will find the ladies washroom. A little sign/direction where the washroom is will be much appreciated for the first timers. Beach Blast also offers leagues, clinics and tournaments of which I have never been, but heard good things about. If it's not for the location, I most likely will sign up for more activities at Beach Blast.

Beach Blast is worth a shot if you're looking to get your beach volleyball fix…read more Pros: Lots of courts (including outdoor) Cons: Poor ventilation (leads to very hot temperatures inside) I came here for a tournament on a Monday night. First thing I noticed as soon as I walked in was how hot and humid it was. This places doesn't have very good ventilation at all. There were 16 teams at this tournament so there were a lot of bodies inside which made it worse. It was a hot day temperature wise outside but it was like heaven compared to inside the venue. They need to do something about that. Other than the heat problem, Beach Blast is otherwise not a bad place to play. There are a good number of courts available. They even have some courts dedicated to beach dodge ball. Outside, there are another set of courts available (why weren't we playing there?) as well. There's a little bar at the front that serves cold drinks. I was not able to located a water fountain of any sort so bring your own water unless you're willing to pay for it. Something to note, if you come in the evening, it's very dark when you l;eave as the lighting in the area is not good at all. It's located in an industrial area so plan accordingly, specially if you don't drive. All in all, Beach Blast is pretty much like all the other indoor volleyball courts I've been to. It's not going to wow you at any point but you'll have a great time nonetheless.

The thing is,…read morethis place is still the best in Toronto, and possibly the best in Canada since they have the most Olympic medalists coming out of this gym than any others. At least when it comes to Trampoline! It's been a while since I bounced here but I did for two years. They have summer adult drop in classes and if you want to bounce at other times, you'll have to join a class for a season. You will regularly rub shoulders with Olympic medalists who are all really nice and friendly. The trampolines are all in-ground which is great, and in great condition, since the owner makes most of the tramps that are used in Canada as far as I know. This place is great for both kids and adults!

Pros: Some of the best maintained tramps in the GTA, and my favourate place to bounce. The people…read morethere are always friendly and the competitive bouncers there never make you feel like crap or come off elitist. I have often gained many tips and tricks from other bouncers while training there and its always fun to see different traveling teams from Europe pass by and train too. Cons: Some of these are cons for me, but might not be for you, so just a heads up. They only have drop in sessions during the summer and during the winter its class only. During the drop in sessions I find 1/5 coaches helpful, and learn more from other bouncers then the trainers. That said, there are actually 2 or 3 really amazing coaches that have done wonders working with me and I still think this is a 4/5 star place.

Armadale Community Centre is often an advance polling station for elections for me. I have the…read morechoice between this one or Milliken Mills. I prefer this one. The parking lot is enough to accommodate those taking classes at the centre and for those who want to vote. I like how the pedestrian crossing is clearly marked and there aren't crazy folks driving in at ridiculously high speeds. When I first visited the advance polling station over a decade ago, we were in a small room off to the right. It is now a registration counter for the centre, which is nice and inviting. Back then, I was dealing with a person who was disorganized and could not find my name. It was funny that I suggested that she order her voter lists numerically. Yes, they were printed on reams of paper, likely killing many trees in the process. I found my name on the list for her. It was a turning point for me. A small voice in my head quietly said, "I can do that job." I ended up being a Deputy Returning Officer for all three levels of elections, which were great experiences. Before I voted the other night, I needed to use the women's washroom. Driving from Mississauga to this centre for over an hour while drinking a beverage will do that. It was next to the voting area. It was clean and nicely stocked. The poll was held in a small gym. Perfect! Everything went smoothly. Gone were the paper voter lists. Everything was on a laptop. Ah, advancements at an advance poll! After I had voted, I thanked everyone and left. As for using the community centre for classes, I signed up for a drumming course several years ago. It was to be held at this centre. However, there weren't enough folks who were interested. The course was cancelled, which was a bummer. I am still hoping to be a drummer in a band someday and play my drumset in my garage late at night, to annoy my neighbours. Here's hoping that this course will be offered soon so that I can write another review. (205)
