The water is fairly cool here so it's a great option to cool off at on a hot summer day! This stand alone community pool features a long pool that goes shallow to deep on the width rather than the length - yes you read that right! And a separate small but efficient deeper pool with both a diving board and a slide. The pool deck has plenty of room to lay out on your towels or better yet, bring a blanket and pack a picnic! Downsides? - Lack of a family changeroom - You have to pay even if you're not swimming and just watching kidlets Overall, a fabulous small but mighty outdoor community pool!

There are two pool areas - one a shallower pool that ranges from 0.9m - 1.3m and a much deeper pool at 3.6m with a diving board and slide. There is a concession area but it was closed on the evening that we went. There are plenty of chairs to sit on, but I imagine those fill up quite quickly during the day. The only negative is that the pool deck was somewhat grimy and dirty.

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.

One of my favourite Gyms in the city! What I don't like…read moreabout this location and I try to avoid: There are a lot of kids and very noisy Lots of tournaments that affects parking and the whole experience Around 4-6 PM, there are a lot of high school students there and it's hard to do anything They are still using the old fashion wristbands for which are bad for environment! Other locations have started having reusable wristbands which are much better and easier. For the noise and crowd: I plan my workout time around rush hours and I completely avoid the place when there is a tournament. The customer service is awesome and the staff is always nice and helpful! I haven't had any bad experiences related to customer service! If you plan it right, you can enjoy your workouts here! I recommend this place!

Since it's cheaper than some of the other fitness centres in Edmonton it might be a good choice for that but for me I preferred the Terwillegar or Peter Hemingway facilities. Changing rooms were fine, a bit dated. Staff seemed fine and the place was more relaxed than others. It's apparently closed for upgrades right now so I'm sure it will be a nice place to go to once that is finished.

Surely my hubby and I enjoyed those huge slides and the hot tubs. It was just pure fun! My little daughters enjoyed the splash pad, dolphin kiddie pool, and the big waves too. The only downside is that no outside food is allowed. 2 slices of pizza and 8 pcs of nuggets cost almost $25. The entrance went up to $67/person since last time (3 yrs ago). I could understand with everything going up, but they removed the unlimited soda machines, which were included before. They, however, included the life vests for the kiddos. As parents, that's more in favor of us. All in all, we would still go back.

After frequenting many different YMCA locations within different provinces, the same province and…read morecountries, the YMCA locations within Edmonton or at least the Jamie Platz location is sub par to the serviceS experienced elsewhere. the booking systems of YMCA of Northern Alberta will not book correctly. I booked my daughter in for swimming lessons when the booking opened, no confirmation email came, I went back in and noted one spot taken, but to be safe I booked again still no email, and no additional space taken. I did receive an email asking for feedback on the service right after, not the confirmation email I expected but sometimes wrong emails are sent. After attending this Y location for a period of time I began to feel that something was wrong. I didn't hit the gym as much, the atmosphere was wrong, and I was told that we should know our limits. A gym is to push your limits. To become stronger, to become better than your yesterday. That's when I felt I needed to ask reception to check the lesson booking, there was nothing booked, and nothing available. I will have a disappointed child, and this whole fiasco dysregulated me as my whole schedule has been booked around this lesson time. The NA Y have poor booking systems, I easily booked in lessons in Calgary and many other activities online in other locations. If you are looking to have disappointment head to the NA Ys and you will definitely receive it. I believe it was the manager I dealt with in this situation and his custoner service skills are definitely lacking. I then spoke to a member of the Y team and she handle my cancelling of memberships in a kind and respectful way. I only really got the membership for my daughter and swimming lessons, it was another expense that was dipping into credit but necessary for child mental health. If she doesn't have the swim lessons then I have no need of the membership. I also feel amazingly relieved as I didn't feel comfortable in this Y location.
