Our comment from FitFit Canada about The Playground Global:

The Playground Global in Oshawa is a fantastic sports facility, particularly renowned for its basketball courts. With eight well-maintained courts, it is perfect for hosting multiple games simultaneously and offers a lively atmosphere for players and spectators alike.

Many visitors have praised its excellent facilities and the overall experience, especially during tournaments. The addition of food trucks, such as 'Island Grill', enhances the experience, providing delicious snacks for attendees. The gym is spacious and accommodates various indoor sports, making it a top choice for sports enthusiasts.

However, some areas require improvement. Visitors have noted poor restroom conditions and a need for better ventilation, especially during warmer days. The noise level can also be overwhelming when all courts are in use, and parking can be a challenge during busy events. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate the venue's convenient location.

Overall, The Playground Global is a great place for athletes and fans, offering a spirited environment for sports.

Fantastic experience: Good

Kevin Diedrick 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great facility. Music during games is too loud making it hard to coach the games. The nets weren't used to separate the courts so balls keep coming in the courts mid game.

Eric Timm 2 years ago

Positive experience: This facility is a great big space for any gym activity. But there are certain things that need to be improved/updated. First and foremost, the bathrooms need a complete overhaul. Awful awful bathroom situation. And the facility could use more water bottle fountains.

Positive experience: 8 great courts, nice basketball art on the walls, seating to watch. Very , very loud when all six courts are in use (players and even refs struggled with the volume), horrible unclean washrooms, extremely over priced vending machines, lack of parking.

Jack Saint-Fort 2 years ago

Negative experience: I'm at the playground Durham in Oshawa for Volleyball tournament. It is -27c degrees outside and is like 5c degree. Because the place has no heat. People are complaining that they're freezing. The city of Oshawa should not allow a venue with no heating system to host sports events for kids. This is unacceptable. This place not is unsafe! #cityofoshawa.

Janice McG 2 years ago

Positive experience: The venue is convenient. Nothing really around to grab a coffee and parking fills up quick if there is a tourney. Venue is cold in the winter so layer up.

Positive experience: The womens bathroom smells really bad and doesn’t have paper towel but other then that it’s ok. They could use more parking.

Nawaf Bin Khalil 3 years ago

Positive experience: Amazing full facility, unfortunately not being used well, it courts are in use sometimes and the rest of the facility just abounded

Dale Betson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: OMG the set up is crazy good, so impressed. Good job! Love going to watch my grandson play basketball. Sitting is perfect for we the older crowd

Orion Rigel 3 years ago

Positive experience: 5 star facilities. 1 star washrooms. They host Nike basketball camp which is great for kids. But is expensive. The courts are amazing. Very well situated with good bleachers. The washrooms (men's) are horrible though. I don't think they get cleaned more than once a week. The infrastructure in the washroom is outdated and broke. There needs to be an update to the men's room badly. Please someone spend some money there. Keep it simple but bring it out of the 80s.

Fantastic experience: Great basketball court, large enough to host 6 teams simultaneously. The temperature was at 40 degrees Celsius in Toronto over the weekend but we were really comfortable inside the gym, the heat didn't bother the players or the spectators who were in attendance cause they installed a great conditioning system inside. I really enjoyed watching my son's team and all the other teams play there, we need a playground like that in Montreal.

Kenroy Martin 3 years ago

Positive experience: Since they got the AC installed. This has become one of the best places to host basketball games. Great courts. Improvements could be made for shot clocks on a couple courts. And a food permit would also be a good idea.

Sadekie Lyttle-Forbes 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Spacious, good snacks at this basketball tournament

Michael Torres 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility for watching basketball. Depending on where you sit, you can watch multiple games at the same time. Tip for those wanting to avoid the parking issues at the Playground: Take the Lakeshore East GO train to Oshawa station. Then take the Durham Region Transit (DRT) route 403 Park bus and get off at Thornton and Philip Murray. It’s only 5-7 minute walk from the bus stop to the facility.

DarKNess_RiOt 3 years ago

Positive experience: If you are going for a tournament, get there early. The paved parking fills up quick! It's very noisy inside when there are 6 games going on. The courts are divided with mesh screens only.

Jordan B 3 years ago

Negative experience: Brutal parking. Tell your guests to stop parking on the road. Was happy to see the parking tickets on their windshields

Elisabeth Sararas 3 years ago

Negative experience: This gym does not have adequate parking for its members or runs over capacity....their members are constantly parking on the street which then makes traffice have to go into the opposite lane ..one day someone is going to be in a fatal accident and it will be this gyms fault (WHITBY LOCATION)

Dawn Lindsey 3 years ago

Negative experience: Your parking is terrible and causes such a headache for all surrounding businesses and parking all along the roads, has nearly caused many accidents!

Fantastic experience: Best basketball facility in Canada!!!

Jasna Cota 3 years ago

Negative experience: It was OVA tournament. It was restriction 6 spectators per team. And the spectators showed the vaccanation proof. Around 6:00 PM entered more then 50 for basketball without showing the proof of the vaccanation. It is not fair and scary limiting the OVA and letting so many without proof.

Positive experience: I don’t have the awnser Im not a doctor or a scientist I think the whole story isn’t being told Government is calling the shots As long as ppl and organizations continue to ignore the protocols There will be no place to play basketball We will be locked down Ppl that continues to ignore are the same ppl that like to play with fire I get it Bussiness need money If numbers keep going up There will be no money in the near future for the businesses I wish I had the awnser I think we need to use common sense Bottom dollar the government will make the rules and eventually get very strict about enforcing the protocols It’s all about money and the collapse of our health care system It would be very disturbing to me If someones grandmother or a friend died because their immune system couldn’t handle it Dose it matter if it’s real or propaganda Ppl are drying Wouldn’t want it to be me or anyone It’s Canada We have the right to do almost anything we want Let’s keep it that way We don’t need to give the government any reason to lock us down again
