Columbia Icefield (CIF)

Expérience positive: much better than PAC imo

Expérience fantastique: Watched Waterloo Warriors-Toronto Varsity blues. Great game and home victory. Not able to purchase tickets online, but reached out to Warriors and no problem to buy on site. Friendly staff and great atmosphere at the arena.

Expérience positive: Nice place. Bathrooms kinda mid though

Expérience fantastique: The Icefield Adventure is a must see when visiting Jasper National Park. The ice crawler operators are a fun bunch and the tour is educational. They also include the Skywalk glass walkway over the glacier which is a fun added feature. I should say that it is a 2.5 hour drive up the Icefield Parkway which sounds like a long ways but the drive is almost better than the tour. The best, most extraordinary views of the mountains can be even along this route with lots of places provided to pull off the road safely and a number washrooms provided.

Expérience fantastique: Well organised tour and efficient staff. Enjoyed our trip to this place

Expérience positive: Thought there would be rubber badminton courts Good overall though

Expérience fantastique: Amazing turf fields and badminton courts.

Expérience fantastique: Clean and spacious

Expérience fantastique: Absolute beautiful facility!

Expérience fantastique: An amazing experience everyone should try at least once in a lifetime....

Expérience positive: Huge ice rink with limited seating fr spectators. Radiant heating makes it comfortable for watching games or practice. Parking is $1.00 . Not convenient to the entrance

Expérience positive: Wish there was better seating

Expérience fantastique: Very nice facility.

Expérience négative: Bad ventilation, haven't heard more weird gym music than here, gym is busy WHLOLE DAY makes it hard to access anyhting. Would recommend PAC

Expérience positive: great facility. But it's very hot in the hallways. Maybe their AC is broken???

Expérience positive: turn on the a/c in summer :((

Expérience fantastique: For students, good gym, open basketball courts, and open fieldhouse space.

Expérience négative: The courts are dusty dirty and old. There is only one basketball court and I can guarantee you its filled with at least 50 people at all times of the day. People fight to play next like hyenas fight each other for a scrap of meat.

Expérience positive: Ight

Expérience fantastique: Good game, no backs to the seats so grab a blanket & a seat cushion, as the seats are benches but numbered seats

Expérience fantastique: رائع ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Expérience fantastique: Everytime I come here I just want to stay

Expérience négative: After taking 15 minutes to wait in line and show the people standing in the booth (who always talk with their peers inside and give you attitude for some reason??) 20 things about how you don't have covid, the gym is pretty gross. They seem to care more about you not wearing a mask from one machine to the next machine 3 feet away than actually cleaning the gym. Just confused??

Expérience fantastique: Great facility. Some staff are really rude, others are great. The main gyms 1 and 2 have POOR ventilation. You can taste the sweat in the air especially during summer.

Expérience positive: why is called an icefield?

Expérience positive: Well equipped facility.

Expérience négative: Its wet due to rain

Expérience positive: I play volleyball here w other players all located in and around the Waterloo tech park . Best part about it is the people working here set up and tear down the net, change rooms are standard but clean!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, its always busy though

Expérience fantastique: Great variety of equipment, staff is friendly, gyms are well maintained.

Expérience fantastique: Loved it

Expérience positive: very crowded

Expérience fantastique: As a student this is a solid spot to train in any sport. I have met some people from the community as well who also enjoy the facilities. Some aspects do need updating and revamping but the field house is a huge bonus

Expérience fantastique: Now became a place for all sports! New indoor turf is awesome but needs net on the ceiling to protect balls. :)

Expérience fantastique: Nice place to work out with ur friend.

Expérience fantastique: Great facilities

Expérience fantastique: Great venue to see my first Ice Hockey game. Lots of fun!

Expérience positive: WLU > UW. Very unfortunate

Expérience fantastique: Increíble facility to play Varsity sports! Amazing for playing soccer indoors. This is first world stuff! Well done Waterloo

Expérience négative: Battle of Waterloo. (Hockey rink review only) Nice old building, great ceiling. Sound system needs work. Brutal site lines. Poor quality plexiglas, tough to follow the game unless you are in the middle of the rink. Fast paced good level of hockey.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing facilities

Expérience fantastique: ONLY REAL POWERLIFTERS GO HERE

Expérience positive: Not bad I go all the time it's just regularly very full for not to big of a gym

Expérience négative: It is always busy and people hog the equipment.

Expérience positive: Nice facility friendly staff very helpful

Expérience fantastique: The gym is free for students and really has any machine you could ever need. It can get quite busy but since it's free I don't complain.

Expérience positive: I pick things up and put them down. Can get busy at the beginning of term but it's free with tuition so no complaints. Broken machines are fixed pretty quickly and they've probably got what you need

Expérience positive: Machines in the gym are getting old and need repair.

Expérience fantastique: Good ice surface with large change rooms.

Expérience fantastique: #1 gym in Waterloo

Expérience positive: Would be Awesome if they increase the ventilation a little bit more

Expérience fantastique: Great facility, thanks for allowing KCI girls Rugby to practice here. High class facility, high class Team!

Expérience positive: Nice gym but very sweaty

Expérience fantastique: Good student gym for University of Waterloo students. Plenty of space for cardio machines and weigh lifting. Contains 3 gyms for basketball, or occasional badminton.

Expérience positive: University of Waterloo provided students one of the best here good to different activities in addition to Physical Activity Centre.

Expérience positive: Sen-durs

Expérience fantastique: quality gym and basketball courts

Expérience fantastique: Great old barn to play in terrible to watch games (no seating)

Expérience fantastique: Haven't been here in a while but it's nice and bright

Expérience positive: I really enjoy working out here. I prefer it to the PAC. There are a lot of other sports and activities going on to enjoy. I personally enjoy going to the recreational ice skating.

Expérience positive: Would be nice if the non-student staff treated students like clients rather than necessary evils. But the facility is steadily improving, and it's got everything you could want in a gym.

Expérience fantastique: Best on campus gym for UW students! Unfortunate that Laurier students come so often even though they have their own gym. They have been increasing the frequency of checking the WatCards so it's been better but it's still very congested during peak hours. Check the times before you go! I also saw some new equipment being tested. Hopefully they get some more equipments!

Expérience fantastique: Highly Equipped , professional staffs, energetic place.

Expérience négative: The gym is just so out of date. The facilities are pretty bad, mostly unavailable, and the people (not the staff) at the gym are pretty rude.

Expérience positive: Since it’s January, it’s pretty busy. But it has most thinks a standard gym has. No complaints

Expérience négative: Treadmills continuously broken, many times with out an out of order sign, and very dirty. They clearly do not wipe down their equipment

Expérience négative: Nice gym but wayyy too crowded. Often having to wait in line just to use the machines/bar racks/treadmills, making it really hard to get an efficient workout in.

Expérience positive: 作为免费健身场地算是非常不错！但是器具坏掉了没有维修是一个很蛋疼的地方

Expérience positive: It's a good gym but sometimes it's schedule fluctuations make it a little difficult to use the gym floor in ways that match your schedule.

Expérience positive: Nice gym. Good facility with good enough equipment for me to do Olympic weightlifting. Make sure you do not go between the hours of 4-8pm as the gym gets extremely crowded around then.

Expérience positive: Nice facilities here (field, courts, gym etc.) Only complete gym on campus, so it's usually quite busy (gets bad during peak times).

Expérience positive: Average facility. Courts need to be polished and better maintained.

Expérience positive: Great for students

Expérience négative: Recently I think they gave up on cleaning the equipment, it’s all sticky and gross all the time

Expérience positive: The facilities are out of date.

Expérience positive: It’s an ok gym. It’s older and tends to be super crowded meaning significant waits for machines and benches. Equipment is in varying states with many things fairly worn out and not cleaned regularly. The gymnasium is nice and the ice pad is decent.

Expérience positive: Good vibrance for workouts

Expérience fantastique: Awesome gym. Great environment atmosphere

Expérience positive: The facilities appear to be good and well tended. It is clean and offers several different types of sport venues including court (basketball, field hockey), rink (hockey), and gym (yoga, martial arts). Beware the parking however. The nearby lots are frequently monitored and even a 5 minute visit might land you a ticket if you don't pay or have a pass.

Expérience positive: Weight room is often overcrowded in the evening, has everything I need for bodybuilding

Expérience fantastique: For Waterloo students this is the biggest activity complex on campus. Regular intramural games are held here. Here you'll find a swimming pool, ice hockey rinks, basketball courts, squash courts, etc.

Expérience positive: Not allowed to use during coop

Expérience positive: Good facility for the students. However the condition of washrooms/change rooms are subpar.
