Oliver Woods Community Centre

Fantastic experience: Went here for an 8 week course. The building was always bustling and seemed to be very well maintained and very clean. Parking was never an issue!

Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful facility in a nice neighborhood. Two large gyms each accommodate 1 full basketball court or two full volleyball courts with approx 2 meters each side for serving. Pickleball is also a popular drop in sport. High ceilings. Poor quality volleyballs, so bring your own, but nets are good. Lots of equipment available for kids parties in the gym. Several meeting rooms, all in nice condition. Bathrooms are nice.

Positive experience: This is a very very good place. I love how there is a gym, multiple party rooms, and lots of Summer Camps that are hosted here with a playground, a massive playground I might add that is available for anyone. I was here for a bunch of summer camps and they did not let me down with great service great care and of course, a great fun time. It is super easy to make friends here as there is an outdoor gym an indoor gym and multiple other ways for you to interact with people. There is also a police station in this building which makes it impossible for people to break the law in this park. Although this isn't really a big tourist attraction I really like how accepting this place is to anyone. The parking lot isn't that organized with parking spots that aren't really in a good spot I would say, but all in all is a decent amount of spaces for the size of the park and community center. I totally recommend this place for people that want to get a workout done.
