Thornhill Community Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Good rink good size nice upgrades to boards, lights & glass
Fantastic experience: Gym fitness is well maintained and clean equipments. Reasonable membership price. No annual fee no first month set up fee or fee for fee.
Positive experience: I visited Thornhill Community Centre for the Happy Cute Mart holiday market in early November, and it was a pleasant visit :) The community centre was very big, and we were guided to go into one of the multi-purpose rooms with 80+ vendors inside from the south entrance (wheelchair is accessible). I didn't get a chance to explore the entire space, but I knew that there is a Tim Hortons on site, 2 skating rinks, a library, plus, washrooms are available throughout the community centre. There were plenty of parking spots around the building. Though for this holiday event, the lot was maxed out, and we had to park further out. The local bus actually comes through the parking lot too.

Their actions not only showed exceptional humanity but also a tremendous experience from Thornhill community centre.

But the facility looks Very nice after the renovations , taking a tad long for the pool to open.

Fantastic experience: Good community center with many interesting programs. We regular visit this place for swimming program (kids below 6y.o.) as pool is tiny and suitable for adults.
Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for such a long time! defiantly a rlly good peaceful place and they have a little place for kids to play
Fantastic experience: Actually, it is a good place to dial in to work while using public WIFI, more leisure than working from home.

Fantastic experience: It was so nice to play at my old barn last week. So many great memories from the 2001-02 Thornhill Rattlers championship team! So, nice to be able to use my old dressing room too (with the updated mahogany wood stalls).
Fantastic experience: A beautiful community centre, it has a library that’s such a huge plus for the community!
Positive experience: Nice community centre. 2 ice pads; the main ice pad has great sight lines
Fantastic experience: Great fitness center and classes too
Fantastic experience: one of the best libraries in york region, they have a massive selection. in general, the markham public library system is probably one of the best. their "suggest a purchase" service is amazing (and they respond pretty quickly too) and they have an incredibly robust makerspace
Positive experience: It is a good place for exercise and have entertainments. But a little pricy, specially about the gym. Community centre services prices should be affordable for people live in the neighbourhood.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this community center, especially the library. Well maintained and conveniently located next to a plaza. Ample parking is available for patrons.
Fantastic experience: Great facility nice location and with the Markham Islanders and Markham Majors franchise running out of the facility it's the best location for All Families Imo

Positive experience: A bit older but still has lots to offer, it has a big library
Fantastic experience: Love the nice community center where you can find everything you need. I personally love the library especially.
Fantastic experience: Staff in the library and the reception was very helpful and accommodating to getting new library card and registering for the recreation programs. Place was very clean and tidy on a busy Saturday afternoon.
Positive experience: Went for the Comic Com that was held, the gym space could have been better arranged but considering free admission can't complain overly much. The place is fully accessible from the areas i access in my chair, but the density of the ppl in the area i am sure was it within the health n safety guidelines when I could at times hardly move my chair. But all in all a good experience n I can see why others like the venue for events and stuff as it is designed for accessibility in mind (though the capted ramp proved harder for me to navigate one my own n needed a little helping hand to get up it (its steeper then it feels it should be).
Positive experience: not busy at most time,skating ring a bit old.
Positive experience: Fantastic centre for families and seniors. Markham provides a lot of classes / clubs here. Skating rink, fitness center, activities rooms, Library and friendly people. This is what "community" is. It is an older facility and it would be nice for some upgrades here but it's well maintained, so overall it's a good place to be.
Positive experience: A quiet community centre for different kinds of activities for children and adults. A real community setting that’s always welcoming to everyone. Located at the intersections of Bayview Avenue and John Street

Fantastic experience: Lots of amenities and programs for kids and seniors. Nice rink too.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff!
Fantastic experience: Nice and helpful staff
Negative experience: Why is it only open from 8 to 5 pm and closed on weekends? With the Garnett Williams community centre closed for another year, this one's hours should be extended at the very least to serve the community.

Fantastic experience: Had a vaccine booster there. Very well organized
Positive experience: Good clean facility but you make disabled people walk around the entire outside of the building in the rain I get covid but you should allow handicapped people to leave thru entrance and yes w their young child and equipment
Positive experience: Nice building and up to date arena just make sure you eat something and are hydrated before going in as they do not allow you to bring out food or drinks in. So if you're inside for over two hours with a mask dont expect to quench your parched throat with a coffee or water from a reusable bottle.
Fantastic experience: Took a high five course here, facilities super clean, directional signage for entrance and exiting in place. Was greeting by a nice person and she showed me where I needed to be after checking my credentials. Super pleasant would do more courses here

Fantastic experience: If you are a healthy and active retiree, the Senior Club i side TCC has enough/all kinds of activities to keep you busy for the whole day. Parking spaces are in high demand, should go early!
Positive experience: Love the Adult Intro to Hockey Program offered by the City of Markham and been coming every Saturday for the last year
Positive experience: This community centre has many things that others don't: ice arena, cat adoption, seniors center and squash courts. It's also next to a shopping center. Only problem: the arena has a strange smell.
