Fantastic experience: The teachers are really good at what they do. Very patient and accommodating.
Fantastic experience: Love going there. Just wish they would be considerate of Seniors and allow access to the gym room from the walking track. Had to go down, re-register and climb up 26 stairs to gain entry. Painful and hard in the knees.

Fantastic experience: Nice facility, great hockey rinks and large pool.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous venue. Unfortunately the City of Ottawa does a terrible job of internet, limiting on premise to 1.5 Mb/s - barbaric in this day and age. Quebec rinks are typically 10-80 times faster.
Positive experience: I watched my son play hockey for the 1st time this year, since the passport ban has been lifted. The arena is great. Free Wi-Fi and all. Great arena.

Fantastic experience: Very good city owned recreational center. Swimming pools, hockey rinks, basketball courts and much more. Great scheduled activities and classes for all ages.
Fantastic experience: Love this place. The weight room is decent but the pool is top notch. Great for lane swim. Water is always a decent temp and clean. The weight room has the standard amount of free weights, cardio equipment, and a couple of squat racks. Also has a bench press rack. The changing rooms are also always clean and showers are warm. GOOD.
Fantastic experience: Great City of Ottawa recreation facility. Two ice surfaces, swimming pool, gyms, meeting rooms and more. Free on-site parking, free city provided wifi. Highly recommended and hope the city builds a similar facility closer to where I live in Riverside South.
Fantastic experience: Such a gorgeous arena. Everything is clean and new and arranged well so it isn't a maze to get around. Just a fantastic facility and I always feel lucky when we get to play hockey here.
Fantastic experience: I love this facility. I’ve always found the staff very friendly and helpful. The kid’s pool is warm and clean, and the change rooms are also warm and clean. The kindergym is a great family activity for young kids and moms. The parking lot has a bit of an odd shape, but the back lots have always been wide open whenever I’ve been there. Even during peak activity hours on the weekend.
Fantastic experience: Best Recreational and fitness centre in Ottawa: Latest equipments, neat and clean area. Find some time for yourself.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facility! Brand new and clean, very nice looking. My son has had swimming lessons at the rec centre and we've had a great experience. Will be doing more activities there as the kids get older.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility. Everything is clean and well kept. One of the best city of Ottawa facilities I've been to. There's plenty of programs for all ages. It can get busy during the afternoon and weekends so finding a parking spot can sometimes difficult.
Fantastic experience: Love this place. The weight room is decent but the pool is top notch. Great for lane swim. Water is always a decent temp and clean. The weight room has the standard amount of free weights, cardio equipment, and a couple of squat racks. Also has a bench press rack. The changing rooms are also always clean and showers are warm. GOOOOOD.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility. Here for a hockey tournament and it must be great to have such a neat facility available to residents. Two ice pads, gym, pool, exercise room, etc... Very clean and well kept as well. Architecture is nice with all the window space.
Fantastic experience: As far as arenas and recreation centers go this is top notch. The rinks have great dressing rooms. The pool is modern. There’s a fitness center, walking track and hard court. The only thing missing is a snack bar/pro shop, but other than that it is perfect.
Fantastic experience: The facilities are great, clean, and functional. There are plenty of events for the kids to do whenever they can. We take advantage of the pool, as there is a separate pool for laps. Tgr kids pool has a swirly area (like a hottub, but not very hot) and a lazy river. The bigger pool has a couple diving boards, a swing rope and basketball hoops. Worthwhile facility.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful community complex with almost absolutely everything inside. Gym, 2 ice pads, running track, cardio room, large pool including toddler pool and 3m diving board. The rec rooms are quite fully equipped. I was quite amazed by everything available in 1 facility. The downsides were the kids pool is not warm enough. There's a fire department located in site which can cause traffic issues. The parking lot is also too small.
Fantastic experience: Great facility. Has swimming, 2 ice rinks, huge gymnasium, fitness center and an indoor walking track. Staff are good, place is clean. Parking can be an issue when the outdoor soccer/football field is being used. So make sure you give yourself a few extra minutes to find parking.
Fantastic experience: An excellent addition to the Barrhaven community. Clean, spacious and modern. We hold our condominium board meetings in the meeting rooms upstairs and are very pleased with the recreation centre!
Fantastic experience: This complex has been a wonderful addition to our neighborhood. We use it for swimming and public skating but it offers so much more. Beautiful building that is kept immaculately clean.
Fantastic experience: What a bunch of complainers on here. By the looks of it you either like it or hate it. I think its fabulous as well as the staff. People complain about the front desk as if they are arriving at a five star resort. Tell the guy that complains about the free Wi-Fi to get over himself along with all the other wanna bees. Who comes to a sport facility other than to have a work out and exercise. Leave your electronic devices in the car.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic sports complex with facilities for everyone, from swimming to hockey. Really interesting open vibe with all the glass windows. My mom loves the walking ring upstairs as well and uses it often with her friends to stay active!
Fantastic experience: My son does skating lessons here and the building is very modern and clean. Super nice place, friendly staff! Only "iffy" part is the parking, but otherwise it's great!
Fantastic experience: This is a great neighbourhood recreation centre. The city offers many activities here for all ages. If you have young kids, then check out the kindergym (Saturday) and kinder playgroup (Sunday). It costs a couple bucks per kid. My kids enjoyed being around so many others their own age. Ages seemed to range between 2 and 5.
