Fantastic experience: Good facility for University-level sports. Reasonably priced tickets for basketball and volleyball.

Negative experience: Terrible track design , it s actually dangerous to run on the track, the meets are a joke. No where for spectators to sit and watch. I think the person that designed this place got his engineering degree out of a cereal box.

Fantastic experience: Its quite an interesting place . Coming here for thr first time . They have all sorts of workout machineries put in place with a trainer and volunteers ready to help out at any given opportunity .

Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful experience

Positive experience: Saw my son graduate in this place, so enjoyed being there. They did have it fixed up very nicely for the graduations. All went very well for the first ceremonies after the Pandemic.

Negative experience: Nice gymnasium. We went there for our granddaughters graduation ceremony. This is designed for sports functions and definitely not the setting for graduation ceremonies. High schools should think twice about this very basic setting to hold such an event, that parents and these grade 12 grads will remember for the rest of their lives. Perhaps high schools hold these ceremonies here because it is less expensive compared to the cost of performing these ceremonies at an auditorium. As a gymnasium I'll give it five stars, for graduation ceremonies and the like Zero Stars. Shame on the school board, or the schools for holding events like these there!

Positive experience: Good place to host grad ceremonies and other edcuational related party events. Lots of entry exit points, enough ventilation, and stadium style seating.

Negative experience: Wonderful

Fantastic experience: We attended our Daughter's Grad. Was an incredible time!

Fantastic experience: Great grD of my friend who got her doctorate in education

Fantastic experience: Great seating.

Positive experience: Was here for a HS graduation. Place was nice but the seats are terrible. The space between seats is not existent. My ex husband who is 6 foot cramped up and had to walk around. Than change seats so he could stretch out on the end. So noisy as well when walking up and down. Overall a nice place for graduation.

Positive experience: Very nice for basketball

Fantastic experience: Great !! Memorable time !! Graduation 2018

Fantastic experience: Lovely building and lovely staff, thank you for making a special event a special experience.

Fantastic experience: Spacious, clean and safe

Fantastic experience: Great place

Negative experience: Still requiring people to wear masks after mandate has been lifted. Not providing N95 masks.

Fantastic experience: Good facility and place to work out

Positive experience: Very clean and a good place to exercise!

Positive experience: Not much going on there in COVID

Positive experience: Nice facility. I'm a little biased because I broke my foot here, but there weren't any public elevators to return to the main entrance so my friends had to carry me upstairs. A little ridiculous.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym for students with a plethora of equipment

Fantastic experience: love the indoor track, not many in Calgary

Positive experience: Full set-up

Fantastic experience: It's pretty good

Positive experience: Great place to watch your local university team but I'm taking 1 star off for how insanely loud the PA and music is played at the games. It makes sense if it's packed but for a Sunday afternoon game with hardly anyone there, it's impossible to enjoy with young children. My 4 year old literally burst into tears and covered his ears over his loud it was. Fix that and you'll likely see more families at the Sunday games.

Positive experience: Great venue to watch the Dino’s! But the seats could use an update.

Positive experience: This is just as used in the kinesiology complex most notably as the location for graduation ceremonies to take place. it features a track on the top with various exercise equipment around the edges, and multiple basketball courts on the main floor.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful gym with enough space for bleachers and a massive crowd of people on the floor. I had my high school graduation here and it went as smoothly as one can possibly imagine with credit due to the comparatively easy logistics of fitting so many people into such a large space.

Positive experience: Good and calm place for workout, but sometimes in rush hour you have to wait for a machine!

Fantastic experience: Good seating. Went to watch a volleyball game

Negative experience: Went for xmas party. Dark and dingy looking place

Fantastic experience: Ok cool place

Fantastic experience: Great facility.

Fantastic experience: I had my convocation here from the University of Calgary.

Positive experience: Awesome assembly for convocation of 2018 UoC medical, nursing and law with graduate schools etc. Programs. Congratulations! The first row of chairs folded down, may be a bit tripping hazard...

Positive experience: It's a good gym.

Fantastic experience: Great

Positive experience: Hard to find the gym once in the building. Would be nice if staff directed patrons there. Band was a nice touch between games.

Positive experience: very spacious gym good for basketball and rallies
