They also have a small selection of rugby equipment including boots and headgear. They do have a very wide range of soccer boots - far better than the general sports stores like Sportschek across the road. I got both my sons kitted out here very well for a very good price. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is that they seem to have rather too many Arsenal shirts and other fanwear than is strictly necessary.

I came in looking to try on some running shoes. I mentioned I had done some research on my own…read moreonline and the guy working said that he had much more experience fitting shoes to people than online research ever could. While I don't disagree, I definitely felt talked down to and that my opinion on my own feet and own experience with running shoes was discounted. He also said that if I was serious about purchasing THAT DAY, he could do a whole fitting with me, but if I wasn't, then I shouldn't try on shoes that day.

This running store is semi-hidden in plain sight on the main commercial street running through…read moreKerrisdale (the storefront is recessed from the road), but despite its small size, it sure packs a punch! The merchandise is top-of-the-line brands, from shoes to apparel to accessories. There were some brands I had never even heard of here (although my kid said she knew of these lines. I'm thinking specifically of the ON brand of shoes from Switzerland, but there were other brands as well). Super cool running shoes, some futuristic, all state-of-the-art. And lots of name brands I'm familiar with, too. So the product lines offered here run the gamut from mainstream to elite. The price ranges are likewise broad, depending of what you are looking for. (Note: I did see some cool apparel on a sale rack, and these prices were slashed, so I wonder if their running shoes also go on sale at times). What made this store stand out is the expertise of the employees here. They are all serious runners who know their stuff. I appreciate how they won't try to sell you on something that isn't right for you (regardless how much the item might cost). For someone like me (i.e., totally NOT a serious runner! Probably the antithesis of a serious runner. Someone who just aspires to stay upright when crossing any race's finishing line. lol!), I rely on this type of expertise to steer me in the right direction, as there are SO many products out there, I don't know the first thing about what is available in any given year and what would work best for me.

Both spaces are inviting for a game of soccer or a quiet stroll. On November 11, 1914, the Park Board officially named this park in honour of Earl Granville, Britain's Colonial Secretary in 1886 when Vancouver was incorporated as a city. Originally the official name for the settlement was "Granville", not Vancouver. That had changed by 1886 and in 1913 the Ward 6 Ratepayers Association suggested honouring Earl Granville with a park naming.

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!

They sell hot dogs, burgers, Indian food, poutines, Mac N Cheese and Korean fried chicken. I personally find it they have a bit more variety than Rogers Arena. I had an opportunity to go here because of White Caps playoff back in November. I visited here the second time while my previous visit was for a concert. The stadium here is a dome shape which can be opened in summer. It was steamy hot the last time I visited here. The game unexpectedly took a long time that I had to stay about 5 hours after multiple penalty kicks. It was fun cheering for my favourite soccer player. My biggest gripe was the phone charger booth. It wasn't the portable type on the go. It was the type where you lock and store it in the box. Would've been better if was a portable type to carry around. Food was expensive overall. Costco food court is a cheaper option. There's a lactation pod available for new moms.

I got tickets for the opening game with the intent to see Snoop Dogg. Unfortunately, it was…read moreimpossible to catch the concert because of how congested the place was with people waiting outside. This was disappointing. I think they need to ease up on how things are done. This is the second time I missed the opening act because of how ridiculous circumstances are with the crowd control. Don't sell tickets if you cannot guarantee that people are able to come in and see the concerts whenever they please. The seats are also very uncomfortable and it is not recommended to sit on for 3+ hours if you have horrendous health issues like sciatica or back problems. You cannot even bring a seat cushion. I prefer Rogers arena over this place. Note that they are also very picky with what type of bag you bring in. You have to bring a tiny bag that barely fits anything or an ugly transparent bag for this occasion. With so many factors to weigh in on, I would not want to come back as it is rather a large inconvenience. To the manager of this place: Please do better! We get better service at Rogers Arena and I am apprehensive about coming back as it has gotten worse! I missed the opening act of a U2 concert several years ago and now this?!

When I first walked in, I was greeted with a smile by a girl working at a welcoming station at the front. I asked where men's shoes were, and she showed me, but also informed me that a sales associate that was in our vicinity could help me. Perfect ! I knew exactly what I needed. I showed him the item on my phone, he looked up the product # on his handheld and off he went to get it for me. He quickly reappeared with box in hand! The shoes were exactly what I wanted and they were on sale for a really great price. I went to the cash area, where there were a few people in front of me. I didn't have to wait for more than a minute or two before it was my turn. The cashier was also smiling and friendly. She showed me how to maximize my points on the Triangle App, then I paid and was on my way. This was a really great shopping experience with customer service that goes above and beyond.
