It's a tier 1 facility which means drop in fees/memberships are cheaper than the tier 2 facilities and you can also use your tier 2 membership/passes here if you have one. They have a smaller 18.25m 4 lane pool that's in a half-basement with a nice sauna. The shorter pool might not be best for hardcore training but you do get to say you've done way more laps than you normally would and it is also amazingly deserted for a City of Calgary pool. I hate swimming in crowded lanes and it's usually very empty here. They also have drop in classes and programs of all varieties for children and adults alike. There is a respectable fitness centre with some free weighs as well as machines and regular cardio machines. The outdoor rock climbing wall is also now open! You can climb as long as you've done a belay lesson and signed a waiver and there are auto-belays for you to climb unsupervised. Definitely recommend checking this place out; I think it's way better value than most gyms and I love the variety of activities available! The staff are also super friendly and helpful!

This is a beautiful new facility! They have a great pool and library. The library is a little…read moresmaller tan the other Calgary Public Libraries that I have been to in the city but none the less it is still a good library. The only thing I think that this library does not have is the stationary computers that you can print fro because with you library card you get $5.00 of free printing a month and I couldn't find a printer for that here. Also their kid zone is a little smaller than the others. They have great programs. One program that I went to on a Thursday was the science program that is in the afternoon and they did a segment on optical illusions!

What a fantastic facility!…read more I play in a recreational sports league called "SuperJocks", where 5 teams of women play a different sport each week. Many of our games are booked at the Calgary Jewish Center, so after a number of years in this league, I am quite impressed with this facility. I haven't seen the entire centre, but the area that I frequent has a very large gym, well-equipped change rooms, and our games are played in a fully stocked gymasium, where we play volleyball, basketball, dodgeball, floor hockey and soccer. I have also taken some yoga classes there, and their yoga studio is very impressive as well! If you live in the SW, definately check out the programs at this center. It is open to all to take fitness classes!

It's right near the Olympic Oval, and access to the gym is from the lower level. The gym is home to The Dinos basketball and volleyball teams. It was also home to my Ultimate Frisbee game on Sunday afternoon. The gym is quite large. With most indoor gyms, we usually end up playing very close to the walls. Not here! With the exception of the bleachers at the ends being a bit close, we had plenty of room to run and chase after that flying white disc. The gym floors were in fantastic condition, the court was well lit and the facilities were clean. It made for one good indoor game!

The gym floor was huge with multiple sections to work out, plenty of top quality workout & cardio machines, and a track that spans the entire perimeter. There's also plenty of stations for cleansing wipes for the machines. I spent 2.5hrs there and got a great workout! I HIGHLY recommend!
