I feel like branching out a bit from my usual food posts so I'm deeming this as my "Not So…read moreDeadmonton" series. Welcome to Part 1. Because Edmonton doesn't suck that much, right? RIGHT? People are always complaining about Deadmonton, which is completely justifiable, but hey, sometimes you have to make the best of situations (insert standardized, generic, cheesy line here). Well, this is one of my favourite places to hang out in the summer. You like to play sports? Specifically tennis? You want to play tennis on CLAY? This is the only place in town that has them. 7 clay courts - completely different playing surface than hard courts. There's a sign-up board. Hang your membership card up on the court you're playing on. Bonus that the people that play here are good peeps - if you want to make friends, I suggest going to: - Friday Night Socials (6:00pm - 9:00pm) - Signing up for a tournament: Davis Cup is a loooooooot of fun. One day tourny! - Joining summer league (men's, women's and co-ed teams): Interclub is great. The season is short (end of May - August) and you play once a week. Check out Tennis Edmonton Interclub for more dets. Membership is required here. Here's the 2016 rates. Note: Prices are cheaper if you get the early bird memberships. - Full-time adult: $275.00 - Daytime/weekday adult: $150.00 - Punch pass: $50.00 for 5 visits. This is actually a pretty decent deal if you have commitment issues. Also, if you're a cheap bastard, you can wait till July 15 for their mid-season discounted rates. - Full-time adult: $180.00 - Daytime/weekday adult: $100.00 Are you a noob? Or want to improve your skills? Here's more options. So many options. - Ball machine: There's a ball machine! It's awesome. I've used it once. - Box league: you play x amount of games each month against people your skill level. Sign up required. Not gonna lie, I joined and bailed hard. - Hit list: Sign up onto the hit list with your tennis rating (1.0 - Open level). Contact people to play. Easy peasy. - Monday night clinic (6:00pm - 8:00pm): free drop-in clinic for members. Can't say I've ever been but I'm sure it's great. - Lessons: private ($40.00/hour), semi-private ($50.00/hour) or group lessons (6 sessions - $135.00 for non-members/$120.00 for members). Whatever tickles your fancy. Can't say I've ever done these either but I should... There's also 3 beach courts to play on. Beach is SO much fun. I'm just sad I only played a handful of times this summer. :( Same deal as tennis but here's a few options: - Summer league: Runs May to August and you play once a week. I've never played in the league but really, really want to (it's insanely popular). It's beach 2's so you better be good. Monday (Women's 2's), Tuesday (Men's 2's) and Thursday (Coed reverse 2's) nights. $250.00 fee to play. - Sunday drop-in (6:00pm - 9:00pm): $5.00 gets you in. Good times. - Friday drop-in drills (5:00pm - 7:00pm): $10.00 to participate. Can't say I've ever done it but this will work on your beach skills. So that was informative right? Nothing like hitting a tennis ball/volleyball to make you wish you were as good as the pros.

Refuses to answer the question. It's unfortunate that Sherwood Park residents have no other option for spring soccer as this organization is very poorly run, and only in it for the money (although they claim to be non-profit)

As a spectator and player of a team looking for food and drink options this facility is truly missing out on a market. There are constantly players and parents cycling in and out in the evenings and weekends yet most choose to bring their own coffee or leave after a game for drinks and food. If you're going to be watching your kids play and fancy a warm beverage.. you might as well bring it with you.

I have been to a few events at the attached Celtic Hall which have been fun (but that should be another review). As for the Sportsdome these days the only reason I have been there was for a bicycle swap event and a few times for Roller Derby. It has 2 big indoor rinks and the E-Ville Roller Derby Club uses one for their bouts. If you haven't been to Roller Derby you should at least check it out once. See my review of E-Ville Roller Derby for more info. The rink makes a great flat track for derby bouts. The facility also has a children's play area, mini-golf, and a bar. I have never had the reason or inclination to use the other areas so I can't comment on them much. Overall the facility seems a bit run down, dreary, and dated. I suppose it fulfills its purpose if it is being used but I only see it during Roller Derby bouts so it is quite empty except for that. I miss the indoor Golfdome : (
