Pinecrest Recreation Complex: Opinions

4.3/5 (131 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: Good local place for lane swimming. Ample parking. The showers and locker room are clean and more than adequate. The pool water tends to be warm. The facility does not supply fins but does provide flutter boards and pull buoys. Check the schedule and make a reservation before arriving on a weekend, or risk being turned away. Lane swimming may not qualify for the kids play free program on Saturdays.

Positive experience: Great older rink. Played some pickup hockey. Changerooms are small but the showers in room 3 were unexpectedly clean, bright and spacious. The ice was in perfectly good shape but it took a couple.extra minutes to dry after scraping.

Fantastic experience: My favorite part about coming here to watch my man play hockey---- is B-lining it to the coin machines and loading up my pockets with yummy candy, gumballs and toys to bring home for the kids!!!! SUPPORT LOCAL and meet me at the gumball machine.... ;)

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant and clean and free for Saturday open swim! I was a bit disappointed that the women's shower area has no privacy dividers.

FotisCanada 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: A nice older recreation complex. The ice hockey rink has a display of old famous players. The locker rooms are nice but not overly large. There is a pool and a couple of ball fields here as well. Centrally located with ample parking in the back makes it an easy place to visit.

Abimbola Ogundiran 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: A functional recreational complex with a swimming pool, hockey ice rink, skating area, gym, sauna, Weight and cardio room, free public WiFi. The indoor swimming pool is heated and it's 7.5 feet deep and the shallow end 3.5feet with lifeguards constantly on site. Group fitness with cardio strength, Zumba, Yoga, Aquafitness schedules, different swimming schedules which include lane swim and public swim, skating schedules for adults, family and public skating. There is also a nice hockey rink on site. ♿ The complex entrances, restrooms, the amenities and parking spaces are all wheel chair accessible with clear signages across the facility. The access registration fee is reasonable and flexible. The facility is well maintained, they keep to the timing of their schedules and the staff members are of great help. Expansive on-site parking to accomodate a lot of vehicles durimg peak periods.

Oksana 1 year ago

Positive experience: Ходила трошки поплавати. Доволі приємний компактний комплекс. Була в п'ятницю в публічний час близько 13 години (з 12-30 до 13-45 можна йти без запису). Є все необхідне - душ, туалет, роздягальня зі шкафчиками. Можна принести свій замочок, якщо є цінні речі з собою. Все це задоволення коштувало мені 5.87 канадських долларів. Демократично.

Positive experience: Don't go to the gym it's literally a hallway, treadmills not working and no space

Shery 1 year ago

Negative experience: It's a great facility, but I'm very worried about pool hygiene. Unfortunately, it is allowed to enter with clothes other than swimsuits. hygienically this should never be allowed. The swimming attire rule should be introduced because entering the pool with an outfit worn outside carries all bacteria and germs to the water. For this reason, my daughter's eyes got infected from the pool water. I'm so sorry and I want this situation fixed.

Negative experience: The entrance is just off Baseline Road and Cobden. If you have your booking for 8:30am however, restrictions at rush hour make it 100% impossible to get there from Baseline Road in your car. Coming from the west, you can't turn left onto Cobden Road between 7am and 9am Mon-Fri, and coming from the east, you can't turn right between 7am and 9am Mon-Fri. If you try tom come at it from Centrepointe, crossing Baseline, you can't go straight through ever. The only way to get there is to get to Iris from Pinecrest or Woodroffe, then then go south on Cobden. If the intent is to keep traffic off Cobden at rush hour, then they've defeated that purpose, as now you end up driving on Cobden for much further. They need to have an exception to the no-turn law for customers of the recreation complex. Someone with a brain needs to look at this silliness.

Positive experience: Pool water was really cold and there were no pockets available to lock stuff up and you are only allowed 10 minutes in the change room after your season is over which for a woman is not a lot of time. Not my favorite pool in the city.

Positive experience: The centre is closed between 2pm and 4pm. I had called earlier in the day before going there but nobody told me that. On Google it said the centre was open till 8pm. I am assuming this is because of COVID-19 but I would not have wasted my time if I was informed of this midday closure.

Negative experience: Poor communication when booking meeting rooms, only 1 person can help you and she is never there. Wifi is unprotected open network so it’s super slow, meeting room doesn’t have projector screen so you have to choose a wall to use but they are all full of pictures and whiteboards and they do not setup for you, everything thrown into a box for you To figure out on your own
