Kerrisdale Community Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Good community center. Small gym. Great Zumba classes! Old building, has seen better days. Parking is tight and always busy.
Thanks for visiting and for participating in our popular Zumba classes! Opened in 1955, the centre is number eight in line for capital investment in Vancouver's Community Centre Strategy: https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/community-centre-strategy.pdf.
Negative experience: The staff is mad rude
Positive experience: People are good but everything is old.
Thanks for visiting! Great to hear you're happy with the service. We try to update our centre where we can – check out this article on new Exercise Room equipment: https://kerrisdalecc.com/enter-the-exercise-room/
Positive experience: Nice for free or affordable ice skating.
Thanks for visiting the Kerrisdale Arena! The facility is celebrating its 75th anniversary on Nov. 11 with a free skate, children's activities and figure skating demo, 3-5 p.m.
Negative experience: It’s a community centre for seniors. They could do a better job of doing background checks on the “contractors” they hire for kids program.Some of them even call themselves “coach” ok “coach” please speak English I can’t understand a word coming out of your mouth “coach” Don’t waste your money signing up for anything here. Disappointing to say the least. Parking is horrendous.
Negative experience: My experience today trying to explore the seniors options for the lunch program and music today was not the best as I could hear the frustration and said so of person I was directed to as I could not maneuver the front page. Welcome it says. I ended my call feeling frustrated with no help to get to the right page. Thank you with really no help at all.
Fantastic experience: The facilities for children are excellent. The colleagues' attitude and relationships are also very good, and they are very kind to both kids and children. The team leader is very kind and capable. I am happy to be working in this place.
Positive experience: Such a small centre, not much to this or their library.
We're sorry to hear you found the centre lacking. For a full picture of what the centre offers (from programs to facilities including an exercise room, gymnasium, seniors centre, pool and arena), we encourage you to peruse our most recent guide (https://kerrisdalecc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/KCCFall24Guide.pdf). Incidentally, the KCC library branch, despite occupying a smaller footprint than that of some of the other 20 VPL locations, still circulates a whopping 27,000 items a month!
Fantastic experience: Really nice staff, the library is well equipped. Had a good time browsing
Thanks for dropping by! Glad to hear you enjoyed the library. Here's a bit of background info on the library and the centre's connection, if interested: https://kerrisdalecc.com/library-lowdown/
Positive experience: The pool is wonderful
Thanks for visiting! And for the great feedback!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and clean facilities
Thanks for stopping by! And for the positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: The staff here tend to be very friendly to all members of the public.
Great to hear, Chadwick! And thanks for visiting!
Positive experience: This is a lovely old sc hool center. Staff are kind. It is partially accessible. Good selection of programs. Great parking.
Thanks for the feedback, Jillian! And watch for our Summer 2024 Guide with more programs – coming soon!
Fantastic experience: I love here❤️
Thank you, Sara!
Negative experience: It looks like a nice place but there is zero sense of community . I have been in the area for 5 years and purposely avoid the area as it is usually filled with miserable grumpy elderly people. If you are lucky you will find some genuinely kind humans but this is not a very friendly location what so ever
Thanks for your feedback, Sirenita. We're sorry to hear about your negative experience and would like to hear more about what happened. Please feel free to call us at 604-257-8100.
Fantastic experience: I am bringing my kids here for more than 15 years. It’s great
Fantastic to hear! Thank you for visiting all these years. We take pride in offering programs for the whole family.
Positive experience: Pool's great when it's warm, been out of action a while ..some of the young counter staff could be a touch friendlier some are wonderful
Thanks for the feedback! They're working on the pool and we'll pass your comments along to the staff.
Negative experience: staff were very rude. they couldve asked us kindly to leave but he full on yelled. this is the worst community centre ive been to.
Thank you for the feedback, Breanna. We would be interested in learning more about this incident so that we might take steps to address the issue. Please feel free to contact us at 604-257-8100.
Negative experience: We did not like a few of swimming instructors at Kerrisdale. They were surprised that my daughter passed the Swimmer 3 and came to Kerrisdale for Swimmer 4 lesson. We were told that my daughter should go back to Swimmer 3 again. The instructor at Kerrisdale did not teach my daughter anything during the lesson. I haven't seen the instructor going into the water during whole entire swimming lesson. It was 45 min lesson. The instructor was just telling the students to do whip kick, front crawl or back crawl without showing them how to do it properly. My daughter told me later that she couldn't even hear what the instructor was saying at times. We went to Richmond and Britannia instead and they were very dedicated instructors. My daughter was able to pass Swimmer 4 after one lesson from each centre. I saw the instructors at both Community centres went into the water whole time during swimming lesson and were teaching each student how to swim properly. Please don't work as an instructor if you don't like to teach.
Thank you for your message, Jessica. We are sorry to hear your daughter had a negative experience at Kerrisdale Pool. We would be interested in learning more about your daughter’s swimming lessons. If you would be willing to contact our pool supervisor at 604-257-8107, we would very much appreciate the opportunity to connect.
Fantastic experience: Quiet, the library has many varieties of books to spend time with. There's a garden beside, should be a good hangout in summer. Will visit more often. Thanks
Happy to hear you enjoyed your visit, Shirley! Hope to see you again.
Fantastic experience: Quiet, comfortable, Free WIFI
Thanks for visiting, Richard!
Positive experience: I am very disappointed with the current state of the weight room. There are half a dozen machines out of order. Unless the main focus of your exercise is free-weights you will have a tough time getting a good workout. It is not unusual for large groups of high school students to come into the weight room and treat the space like a zoo. The staff would do well to crack down on their complete lack of consideration for other patrons.
Thank you, Robert, for sharing your concerns. We appreciate your feedback and take your comments seriously as we strive to improve the experience for all our patrons. Sorry for the machines that are currently out of order. We have upcoming scheduled repairs and will post advance notice. We’re also experiencing delays in repair parts due to supply chain issues. We expect to have all the machines repaired as soon as possible. Regarding the behavior of some high school students, we share your concern about creating a respectful and considerate atmosphere in our facilities. We’ll take your feedback into account and reinforce our policies to encourage appropriate conduct among all users. If you encounter any other issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our staff. KCC
Positive experience: Good energy here.
Great to hear! Thanks for visiting.
Positive experience: A good place to swim, nice water and pleasant lifeguards, even if the condensation dripping off the roof send shivers down your spine haha. Cute little library. Red haired lad at the desk was nice and knowledgeable. Even recommended I get a cinnamon roll from the café in the seniors side of the centre, They are delicious!
Thanks for stopping by our pool, library and seniors lobby! Yes, goodies are for sale to all at the coffee counter.
Negative experience: Since we live in the neighborhood, and we could not find the information about their open gym and other services on their website, we decided to pay this centre a visit hoping to get their schedule. Unfortunately, the young guy at the reception was just so impatient and rude, he basically told us to just go home and check their website for the information because he was too busy dealing with everyone there. We had patiently waited in the queue just like everyone else, and we never raised our voice or anything when it was our turn to ask, but his attitude after we tried to ask questions was just so frustrating. For the whole short conversation, he kept trying to hide his head behind his monitor while trying to get us to leave him alone. It was the worst experience ever that I just told my wife to go, because I did not feel like we were wanted there. Seriously, if it happened in any other country, I would even suspect that it’s a racial thing, and that’s just how bad it felt like. Anyway, the rating I’m giving here is not on the centre as a whole, it was simply for the customer service experience at the reception, as we just could not go any further after that initial experience.
Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to share your experience. We would be interested in learning more about this incident so that we might take steps to address the issue. Please feel free to contact us at 604-257-8100.
Positive experience: The facility is clean but seems to need old
Positive experience: I went to the gym, it's fine I guess, but it was pretty loud, and everything is old. But it will do as a local/close gym.
Thanks for visiting our gym and providing feedback. This year we installed new Matrix equipment – two treadmills, three ellipticals, one upright bike and two spin bikes – and we'll continue to improve our equipment supply. Hope to see you back soon!
Fantastic experience: Excellent community place!
Fantastic experience: Aquafit program highly recommended
Thank you, Dean, for checking out our program and sharing your experience!
Positive experience: Good location for seniors to get out of the week and share time with each other. I'll say i'm going to hot meal per day and the seniors committed to care center
Thanks for the review, John! And thanks for visiting! Our Seniors Centre is the perfect place for a hot lunch and catch-up with friends – and to meet new ones.
Fantastic experience: Simple but functional - a place to just get the workout done
Thanks for the feedback, Nadine! Fantastic to hear you're enjoying our facility.
Positive experience: Hopefully the facilities can be refreshed sooner rather than later.
Thanks for leaving a review! We maintain our facilities to high standards and refresh them as budget allows. For example, our Exercise Room was recently updated with nine new machines, ranging from treadmills to spin bikes. We invite you to drop by and check them out!
Fantastic experience: Enjoy Saturday mornings Aqua fit classes instructor is friendly and gives us a good work out.
Thank you, Irena, for the positive feedback! We hope you continue to enjoy our facility.
Positive experience: Close to home. Facility is pretty dated but kept fairly clean. Lots of parking. People are quite gentle and nice.
Thanks for your feedback about our centre and staff, Josephine!
Negative experience: A small facility full of obnoxious high school kids who treat the equipment poorly and have zero respect. If you want a decent workout and actually want to use some equipment instead of waiting for kids sitting on their phones watching TikTok’s on the pec fly all day, then find a different gym.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. While we certainly encourage youth and teenagers to be physically active and take advantage of what our Fitness Centre has to offer, the behaviours you have described are concerning and we will be taking steps to ensure all users follow our Exercise Room etiquette and guidelines. We would be interested in getting more information from you; if you are willing, please email us at [email protected].
Fantastic experience: They have a decent gym. Not as big or well equipped as the other big gyms but they have all you need. At busy times, wait times for equipment are usually not too long.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Jeffrey! Great to hear you're enjoying our gym.
Negative experience: Calling to ask about arability of a room, the staff said its full, I didn't even mentioned the time. What's worse is he hang up on me even though I was still talking. WHEN I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK ABOUT THE OTHER TYPE OF ROOM...WHAT THE HECK MAN?? IT'S A MALE RECEPTIONIST, WHOEVER THAT IS. HE DOES NOT LOVE HIS JOB AND HAS NO RESPECT TO WHOEVER CALLING INTO.
Sorry to hear about your negative experience, Shirley. Please email the time when you called our centre, along with a brief reference to your experience, to [email protected] and we'll look into it. Thank you.
Positive experience: If you have a One Card it can be an alright place for a workout. It's pretty loud though and the machines feel a little awkward.
Thank you for your feedback. Our machines are regularly maintained by certified technicians. If there are specific concerns, please feel free to speak with one of the staff and we will be happy to look into them.
Negative experience: Don't go here. The woman's changing rooms, shower & bathroom area are open to ANYONE who identifies as a woman. Cannot shower in peace without looking over my shoulder & wondering what kind of man may " identify as a woman" in the pretext of going in there. Not a safe space for women and children, felt completely uncomfortable and reception area is far away if something were to happen.
Thanks for sharing your concerns. Please note that the City of Vancouver has a longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion in the community. The City has taken significant steps forward in supporting trans, gender diverse and two-spirit individuals, and this includes the right to safe and inclusive washroom facilities for basic human needs at community centres throughout Vancouver. Of course, if you see any suspicious activity, please let our staff know and it will be addressed.
Fantastic experience: Alive and friendly , staff is helpful and the Center provides a warm and safe environment for young and older people to exercise , learn , create as well as play. I also want to thank Barry for his thoughtful and patient coaching in the exercice room .
Fantastic experience: Go online to their site and search for programs to join.I have an elderly mom and this place is a great community center to have her join exercise classes throughout the week for seniors. My mom us 79 years old and they have classes for senoirs that helps them stay mobile and healthy. Light weights, yoga, and stretching. Classes are very affordable.
Fantastic experience: Love this place, everyone is nice at here.
Positive experience: For the price of monthly fitness, it's got everything I could use. Not the newest equipment but it all functions smoothly.
Fantastic experience: The best place EVER!
Fantastic experience: My favorite place to vote! Get out there people.
Positive experience: The community centre and building are old, but it is well maintained and still offers many services. This isn't just "like" the community centres many of us grew up visiting; it IS the community centre many of us visited. The library, pool, and gym can't compare to the size and updates of the newer centres, but they are still maintained well. And plenty of free parking is available in the lot and on the street. This centre still holds a charm and creates a sense of community that newer, larger facilities such as Hillcrest Community Centre don't. Set your expectations accordingly and you won't be disappointed.
Positive experience: Near school, lots of shops, convenient
Fantastic experience: Old facility but excellent location
Positive experience: Great gather for older folks.
Fantastic experience: Nice Community Center, Plenty of activities for young and seniors folks.
Fantastic experience: have been here as a visitor and liked it very much! drop in (exercise room) for 3 bugs and work out all what you want!
Positive experience: We love coming here and taking advantage of the small playroom they offer for little ones. It is free and always open. They have some wall games and a decent padded space for the little ones to roll around. The community centre is also well-equipped with a gym, a swimming pool, a library, and a senior's centre, with a decent amount of parking space in the parking lot and street parking.
Fantastic experience: I love the Community Centre. They have lots of activities and a library attached. The gym sometimes fills up and you can't get a spot though, especially on the treadmills as they have limited numbers. The people are nice.

Fantastic experience: We came here for the children's area and the library. The children's area was nice, not so impressive but the toddlers enjoyed it. The library was also nice. Great selection of books. Great to visit on a rainy day.

Fantastic experience: Lots of services provided in this community centre. Covid vaccines are provided here. And they schedule people for vaccines but people can also drop in. The surrounding area is nice to sit out on the grass and relax. There are benches as well to sit and relax. The community centre is near the main avenue where you can get coffee or have a meal in a choice of restaurants. The community centre offers many services and it is in a good location. Go visit. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I went to Kerrisdale Community Centre to cool off but for Covid-related reasons, they had the front door of the reception area propped open, not really letting the AC do its job. :-( But the youthful staff who took care of me were attentive & positive. Saved me a long, drawn- out trip to Emergency. :-)
