I went here for the one day belaying lesson at the climbing gym. I picked this place as they offer…read morelessons at more affordable price (65 CAD) compared to the the other competitor within Greater Vancouver area. Climbing shoes, harness, and grigri rental is included in the lesson price. The instruction given was clear, and helpful. They also tested me by purposely doing things wrong (grigri on the wrong side, the rope is too long, etc), and asked me to verify that everything is good to go. I got the chance to belay the other lesson taker, and the instructor would pointed out what habit I need to fix. After the lesson, I got a piece of paper to review what I learned today. I also got a bit of free time to climb on my own. 7 days trial is included in lesson so that you can climb and practice more. The oval climbing gym offers bouldering (small section), lead, and speed climbing. Pretty solid climbing gym in my opinion!

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.

I love going swimming or skating here. They have great facilities. The pool, especially, is fun for…read moreeither fitness swimming (i.e. swimming laps) or taking kids to splash around with them. 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.)

False Creek Ferries is a hidden gem in Vancouver. You can travel from one beach to another and…read moreavoid the traffic. Their staff are very friendly and awesome. Victoria is so amazing. She patiently explained to us the places we can go to and visit using their ferry service. We would have gone back to the hotel, had she not told us to go visit Kitsilano beach and the Maritime museum. She was very helpful to the other tourists who were buying tickets just like us. Troy was awesome and helpful, too. We left a box of fruit on the ferry and he asked us if we wanted it back. Although, it was ok not to get it back, we found it very thoughful of him to ask. I highly recommend this business. Take the ferry and explore this inlet.

Trout Lake and Mount Pleasant both lost their racquet courts when the facilities were renovated/replaced, so courts are harder and harder to find and to book. It's not crazy busy as many parks board facilities are because Killarney is so close by. The fitness area is spacious and fairly well equipped, but a few very basic things are strangely missing, like a dedicated bench press. They close super early (4pm) on weekends, so be mindful of that when planning your recreation.

There's a cafe (Court 6 Cafe), feet washing station and two showers. The best was when they had a fun weekday drop-in/ladies night but that no longer exists. It's fully booked for league nights (with three sessions). Couple tidbits: - 5 indoor beach courts open year round - Plenty of volleyball league options (2's and 4's). Not cheap as it's about $25.00/session to play - Expensive court rentals ($134.24/hr) unless booked last minute or at odd times ($59.41/hr) The only indoor place to play beach volleyball but be prepared to pay for it.

Organized a group hangout here and they had two large tables per court reservation so plenty of…read morebench room for your belongings and guests to rest. There were lockers available but we just put our stuff on the tables and benches. Reservations and pricing - booked the reservation via their online platform through catch corner. The pricing wasn't clear online so I had to call ahead of doing the online reservation myself. The online price for the court time for 8+ is the fee set for 8 players. While you can have more players on your court (which makes it great to not have to have finalized group numbers until the day of), the website wasn't clear that basically for anything more than 8, the additional players just had to pay in person instead of online. It would have been easier if the website outlined that the court is meant for x number of players to y number of players and the fee is simply for 8 people. Our group ended up having more than 8 players so we paid for the additional players at the end of our session however staff advised that the in person pricing was actually a few dollars cheaper than the online booking as you're also paying online service fees. They advised that you can simply call in to make a reservation too and staff would just take a credit card deposit for 4 players worth so that would have been a good tip to know when I called in initially..... No one in our group has tried archery tag before. Overall, we had a good and fun experience. All the protective gear is provided and the staff also utilized the first portion of the reservation to teach you and let you practice using the bow and arrow and shooting targets. Since the courts are "beaches", no shoes and socks were allowed. There was a feet washing station so crocs and a towel to dry your feet would've been good items to bring. There's a lot of running around during the game but there's a break between each game. Be sure to bring water otherwise they do offer drinks and food as well.

Came here with a Groupon for a day of Drop-in Bouldering with Shoe Rentals…read more First off, staff was extremely friendly and helpful! There were a few people in front of us so we had to wait but you could tell they were really chill and pleasant to each customer. They were patient with organizing my group with waivers, Groupons and finding our correct shoe size. They were great with explaining the safety and rules of the bloudering area too. Starting off on the V0's (easy) to V8's (difficult) there was a variety of different routes to try. It was nice for beginners that there were several V0 and V0+ routes scattered around the gym area - to keep things interesting and allow us to explore the floor. Each path had it's own personality - some were easy and others made you think before you act. It was an awesome workout not only for our bodies but our problem-solving too! There are washrooms, lockers (bring your own lock), a water fountain, cubbies, and a little lounge area with a mini drink machine ($1.50 for a cup). In the end, our arms were tired and our fingertips were tender, but we left with a feeling of accomplishment and appreciation for all climbers! Learning to climb better will be my next project - Thanks Project Climbing for the first climb!

This is the first gym out of Austin (Austin Bouldering project) I've climbed at, and I can see how…read morespoiled I am, but all things considered this is a great facility still. It's on the small to medium size and is a brand new, clean gym. There's a good variety of angled walls, from overhung cave areas to vertical slab walls with a good variety of difficulty levels from V0-V7+. Holds are clean and problem settings are decent with individual routes being pretty easy to follow thanks to color coded holds and each route is labeled with a taped grade on the beginning hold. It seems new routes are set by color weekly, with all orange routes being reset one week, and yellow problems being reset the next, for example, so it makes it easy to locate new problems for frequent members and easy to know which will be coming down soon if you're trying to finish a problem before it's gone. My main gripe however, is the lack of enough down climb holds. There are plenty of large gaps with no down climb holds nearby at the top of routes and when you're climbing beyond V1-V2 levels with big, good holds, downclimbing after an exhaustive 100% effort can be a chore at best or a bit dangerous at worst with no easy way to get down. Coupled with the fact I wasn't made to read anything or sign a waiver, this seems like a liability for the gym. I also wish the top of the wall surface was consistent. Some areas have a flat top edge while others have a narrow lip that you can more easily grip around, and it's harder to grab the flat edge when expecting the lip. There are approximately 6-7 routes for sport climbing with auto belay machines, which would be fun, but probably not enough variety to keep strictly sport climbers satisfied. I wish there were more volumes on the wall, to add more wall surface variety, and the bathrooms/locker room areas are small, but adequate, and lockers are free to use. People, employees and climbers are friendly and helpful. Overall it's a great gym.
