Champlain Heights Community Centre: Opinions

Fantastic experience: New design and equipment. Great for kids
Fantastic experience: Bueatiful park
Fantastic experience: My kids, they really like this park
Negative experience: 1 star because displaying the rainbow you are not welcoming christians. They clearly state you can only support them if you don’t welcome christians. Also having gender fluid washrooms creates risk for children
Positive experience: This place is surprisingly good, not a lot people, and the equipment is awesome.
Fantastic experience: A playground for children, summer activities available as well.
Fantastic experience: Good place for playing pickle ball
Fantastic experience: Best by far. The only thing is they really drill you if you say you are a support worker when going to the gym with clients. Not very much trust there. Could use a non-profit discount.

Fantastic experience: I love this community centre! There are lots of activities hosted by the centre especially for my younger children.

Fantastic experience: Nice community park here
Positive experience: Smallish parking area but one of the best play ground for kids. Trampoline. Sand pit with water. Mister. Tall structure with slides. Newborn swings. There's a huge field and other playgrounds in the area.
Positive experience: We've been a few times for kids' birthday parties, including our own. Downstairs is the play area, with a bouncing castle, slides, balls and some manual kids cars. It's a fairly large area and even though there is an "enthusiastic party leader" (their own words), don't expect them to entertain the kids, pull them together and do games or even be enthusiastic. The ones we had were none of that. But if you don't need that and just want the kids to run around, enjoy and play with some good quality toys (none of them were broken), it's a great place to be. Price is good (for more than 12 kids you need an extra party leader, equally enthusiastic as the other one). Upstairs you'll have to decorate yourself and take it down again, but that's exactly as communicated. (Tip: give the balloons to the kids, and decorate just one side for the pictures. The place is too big to fully decorate and no one really cares. That helps reducing cleaning time.) Two hours is not an awful lot of time, which is why you have an extra 30 minutes in advance to enter the room and start preparing. And you can take other tables and chairs if you need those - just don't forget to put them back at the end. After all, that's also why the price is low, because you do it yourself. Staff is really friendly and helpful. They do have carts available, it makes it much easier to transport the food, drinks, decorations and gifts from and to the car and they have an elevator as well. Take in mind: the fridge was full when we got there, and the (fairly large) cake had to go somewhere. We managed to shuffle the food around, still it took time and we shouldn't have to deal with other people's food. Just be aware this may happen.

Fantastic experience: Opps! I reviewed the community center but in the park reviews! Great gym and machines. Not overly busy either!
Negative experience: Medical tyrants supporting the discriminatory Vax pass. My son was so upset and cried his heart out for being denied entrance into the kids play gym. So much for medical diversity and inclusion. Hypocrisy
Positive experience: Beautiful building. Fitness center keeps playing loud radio with commercials, when all the other Parks Board ones don't.
Negative experience: This is the worst run gym in Vancouver. They have kept the change room closed for 2 years because apparently they can’t keep it clean

Fantastic experience: Small gym but they recently upgraded all the equipment, which is a huge plus. Usually doesn't get too busy. The overall vibe is very welcoming and home-y, which is great for those who are looking for a non-intimidating gym. Also seeing elderly people at the gym is a great motivator. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Just a great community center overall!

Positive experience: Located just west of Macquinna Dr in the Champlain area of South Vancouver. NOTE limited parking in a smaller parking lot. Popular with local residents and seniors and young families. The help desk is friendly and helpful. There are several meeting rooms and a gym. A nice place to meet old friends who live and work in the area.

Positive experience: Clean , friendly staff
Positive experience: Only was in the gymnasium, but it was pretty fun
Positive experience: Cozy little community center where the staff are welcoming and almost know everyone. Some unique programs too.
Positive experience: Cozy community centre
Fantastic experience: I use the gym here, it's a decent size with decent equipment. The gym is fairly new which is great and it has a great view of the outside.
Positive experience: It's dated, but it gets the job done for a decent workout. Completely sporadic for when it's busy.
Positive experience: My only complaint is that we've registered our kids in programs there a few times and then the programs were canceled due to lack of enrollment. I think they need to optimize their programming a bit better, perhaps offering fewer programs and at better times of the day, so there would be less likelihood of programs being canceled. As soon as programs are canceled, parents will not book there again for fear of it happening again, and instructions will stop offering classes there as well. Otherwise it's a great community centre, great facilities, nice fitness center, nice staff. The roof in the gymnasium is a bit too low for badminton but ok... I need to keep my shots down anyways.
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Very clean.
Positive experience: It was close the day we were there but the parks around the community centre was ok.
Fantastic experience: Such a nice little community centre.
Fantastic experience: The community center has almost everything someone would need to exercise. There is Badminton, racquetball, pingpong, pool table, a full gym with machines. They also have multiple different classes that one could attend. I prefer the shotokan karate class.
Positive experience: I've played ⚾ here for the past few summers. Great fields in the back area
Positive experience: Very friendly staff. It is more comfortable than large Centres. There is a new mandate to determine what the community want from community gardens. Champlain Heights is Vancouver’s first purpose built Green Community and this community centre played a big roll. I encourage people to learn about the history of this neighbourhood. This is Vancouver’s greenest areas by size. It is a little known gem in town. The local community association is looking for volunteers to guide the Centre and Everett Crowley Park.
