Ron Andrews Community Recreation Centre

Expérience fantastique: I happen to lose my phone at Ron Andrew’s rec centre. Kim the front desk associate was the kindest ,and most helpful person in locating my phone. Thank you Kim.

Expérience fantastique: Kim at front desk - very helpful and friendly

Expérience fantastique: Appreciate support of Connie R. in helping me learn how to use the gym.

Expérience fantastique: *Pool and men’s changing room closed* for refurbishment until Oct 2 I believe.

Expérience fantastique: Cozy. The table tennis table needs to be renewed. It's not standard.

Expérience fantastique: Great community center! I have volunteered here two summers in a row and with kids club and kid's night out throughout the school year. The community centre itself is getting old now, but the organization of the camps here is excellent, and so are the leaders and the staff. It really does have that sense of community.

Expérience fantastique: Great spot, careful the pool is cold!

Expérience fantastique: This is a nice place! Compare with other comunity center can looks old and in not in a good shape but once that you start to visit often you notice that the staff is doing a great job. I totally prefer the gym there that going to parkgate, lonsdale or any other comunity at north shore. Staff is really nice.

Expérience fantastique: Love that the facility is in the forest. Nice staff at the front counter and fitness centre has some great equipment. They have a TRX room which is great for plyometric exercises.

Expérience positive: Nice little rec centre. Covered I. Beautiful forest, has a sauna steam room and got tub. Also has a couple diving boards and a rock climbing wall. Playground outside to! Great for taking the kiddos!

Expérience positive: The machines in the gyms are old, numbers of weights faded, no bench for say lat pull-downs... But I don't mind... Because the pool is the best in the North Shore. No point going anywhere else.

Expérience positive: Front desk staff are always lovely! Building is very tired and ladies washroom not very clean

Expérience positive: Good pool and sauna facilities and cleaner changerooms now than in the past.

Expérience positive: A little dated .Could use some more weight training space,but it fills the purpose.

Expérience fantastique: Very friendly helpful staff. Gym is small. Not a lot of weights. Nice pool

Expérience positive: Difficult to find correct entry area due to lacking adequate signage.

Expérience positive: Nice but a little outdated.

Expérience fantastique: Great as always

Expérience positive: I like that this rec center is hidden less people to bother you steam room is usually empty wich is nice and peaceful environment to be around would recommend to anyone that likes peacefulness when working out or going to pool

Expérience fantastique: Old

Expérience fantastique: Good all round facility

Expérience positive: Good facility for it's age.. but it's old. Love the hours. Can get in early to start the day. Pool is good temp for long swim, but cool for playing. The instructors are great with the kids.

Expérience positive: Friendly staff.

Expérience fantastique: Small old-school rec center with 2 gyms and a 25-m pool as well as a sauna, hot tub, and small leisure pool for kids. Small and cosy

Expérience fantastique: Awesome local pool. Quiet, peaceful. Everything always works.

Expérience positive: Great selection of the activities for the kids

Expérience fantastique: Great selection of activities for kids at this community centre. The pool is however very cold so might not be my first choice with very small children of you want to take them swimming.

Expérience fantastique: Great community centre.

Expérience positive: "I recently visited the Ron Andrews Community Recreation Centre and was thoroughly impressed by the facilities and staff. The center has a wide range of activities, including a state-of-the-art gym, several swimming pools, and a variety of sports courts. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed to have a great experience."

Expérience positive: Great community pool and fitness centre.Dated but well maintained by pleasant staff.

Expérience fantastique: Great Community Centre!!!

Expérience fantastique: Great squash court with friendly staff

Expérience positive: Fine community centre. Could use an update, but does the job.

Expérience fantastique: I love this pool but this place needs to be rebuilt.

Expérience négative: They allow too many people in the swim lanes, to the point where nobody can swim.

Expérience positive: The staffs are friendly

Expérience fantastique: Lots of gym options and pool activities

Expérience fantastique: Great pool for family fun and kid's swimming lessons. Great stuff with patients and very professional

Expérience fantastique: Good community center

Expérience fantastique: I like to come here on weekends mornings to get a good workout in at the gym here. The gym is usually pretty spacious as there are two separate rooms which is convenient for spacing. One of the fitness rooms consists of a good number of cardio machines and some weight machines like a chest press machine and some leg curl machines, as well as some lighter dumbbells and some kettlebells and rollers and so on, whereas the other one is fitted with two barbell racks, a good variety of different barbells, cable weight machines, a leg press, sone grips to do dips and pullups and an area with heavier dumbbells and a few other miscellaneous tools. The two room organization of the fitness centre means the heavy weight room is usually much less crowded and more spacious which makes it easier to just plug in your headphones and just focus on your own routine without much risk of a disturbance, and it is still rather well equipped to be able to do just about everything your routine calls for. (Though this is not what I come here for) the rec center also features a really nice lane swimming pool and a recreation pool and some other sports, games and training facilities for younger people or people who do not come for the gym where I imagine classes take place. The staff I find here is pretty pleasant and friendly too and is more than happy to hold a nice conversation with you. Pretty good place and worth the distance to get there.

Expérience négative: If it werent for the clearly antivax woman at the door spouting off about how vaxes are dumb dont work and everyone is scared and need to catch covid to move on this place is usually nice to come to but its gone downhill lately and little blondie doesn't help..i love this place but recently its been rediculos. gym close doesnt help at least theres steem room which does the job to relax once ur past the front door

Expérience fantastique: Been going here for over 40 years. Home away from home. Very well maintained facility. Excellent Covid-19 precautions. The swimming pool is clean. There is even a preschool in the building which is Excellent! Walking and jogging trails outside of the facility. Nothing beats the beauty of old growth trees.

Expérience fantastique: Love come here the pools is great and steam room, sauna and hot tub are great.

Expérience positive: Dated facility but great staple in the community. Pool is good for lane swimming, has fairly good lane swim hours. Lanes seem slightly narrower than a standard lane, but they fit the bill. Good time clocks that are synchronized. I’d give the showers an 8/10 for temperature and flow.

Expérience fantastique: My kid's first swimming session was here and the staff are really friendly and helpful!

Expérience positive: Aged, but well maintained rec center. It's my go to. Nicely situated in the forest near some walking trails.

Expérience fantastique: It feels like home.

Expérience négative: The dirtiest pool in the North Shore. They probably have outdated filtering or lazy to clean it. Disgusting.

Expérience fantastique: Nice little gym with a strong sense of community focus. The staff here are the real gem; it's the kind of place where you get to know people and develop friendships. I miss coming here.

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful place and sometimes enchanting when you least expect it, that is Ron Andrews Community and Recreation Center....

Expérience fantastique: Great pool, awesome staff. They have been doing a great job cleaning between groups.

Expérience positive: The swimming pool and gym need upgrades . No market or nice juice bar just a vending machine .

Expérience positive: Difficult to find

Expérience fantastique: It's a nice place to workout and it's even a nice place for quiet on the weekends and on the weekdays and after a workout its a good way to go to the pool specially its nice that they have steam room and even a sauna room its quit and they is less people and when going to the hot tube its nice they is less people and i can relax in the hot tube.

Expérience fantastique: Our community pool. Its older and pretty basic but honestly that's all you need for swim lessons. No silly distractions.

Expérience positive: Great swimming classes for kids.

Expérience fantastique: I love to come here for a calm swim/sauna/steam room visit. It's not the newest or most modern pool you can get but it's clean and there is almost no people. I rather drive from Burnaby to get here than to go to an overcrowded pool.

Expérience fantastique: Great place to swim and work out

Expérience positive: Nice, but could use an update

Expérience positive: Cute local community recreation centre on the north shore. There is ample parking nearby and easy road access, car share is unfortunately difficult in this area. The fitness facilities are aged and small and the pool is very retro and needs updating. It is hard to climb out of for some people and not that accessible. Love the orca tiling on the pool floor.

Expérience positive: It's a pretty good spot to get your swole on

Expérience négative: The gym is dated and small. There are always a few machines out of order. The local high school hosts their P.E. class here on the weekdays so it's almost impossible to get access to the treadmills. Would not recommend if you are looking for a quality gym.

Expérience positive: Good facilities

Expérience positive: Pool is far too cold for myself and my toddler. The staff is always kind and friendly. We love the playground and the kids club (by NVREC)

Expérience positive: It was a pool to swim at. As advertised! April 2021 Covid update: doesn't matter if the lanes are double wide, lane etiquette should still apply. That means, don't swim down the middle, pause in the corners, and Let. Faster. Swimmers. Pass. Would be really nice if the lifeguards actually enforced it so I didn't have to get in fights with people who won't let me pass them.

Expérience négative: Great place i live.

Expérience positive: Good pool. Changing rooms a bit out of date, but warmer and nicer than Karen Magnusson.

Expérience positive: Great community Recreation centre . Pool , sauna, steam room , hot tub ... Multipurpose rooms providing many classes . Well situated surrounded by forest

Expérience positive: I go to Ron Andrews pool for the deep water aquafit course. Out of the four pools on the North Shore, I find this pool is the best. It may be one of the older facilities but the pool is absolutely fantastic, so I recommend.

Expérience positive: Friendly staff, has most of what you would want. I wish for a second rower often, as there is only one.

Expérience positive: Nice place but way too many swim programs kills it for the public swimming. Have to start limiting this as public swimming is a priority. Perhaps they should build another pool and dedicate it to group rentals??

Expérience positive: Pretty clean gets a little busy over the weekend overall good experience

Expérience positive: Great place

Expérience positive: Outdated, but does the job locally

Expérience fantastique: Super friendly and super helpful staff! I can't find anything negative to say about this facility. For its age, it is maintained extremely well. If you're unable to find an activity here that tickles your fancy, then no facility will please you - or maybe you're just looking for an excuse to enable you to continue your sedentary ways.

Expérience positive: best place to swim,relax at jacuzzi and sauna or steam bath to relax.

Expérience positive: The pool is cold...

Expérience fantastique: Great facility. Nice setting.

Expérience positive: Decent pool after the recent upgrade. People there are generally kind.

Expérience positive: Very old at this point. Pool and gym are ok, front desk personnel are mostly pleasant. Make sure you go during quiet hours if you want to drop in for a public swim though, as lane availability is subject to change last minute. I would check the website if I were you.

Expérience positive: A nice place

Expérience positive: Staff is super fun! From the front desk to the pool staff, very chill bunch. The facilities are not brand new but they are very good and not too busy!

Expérience fantastique: Beautiful sports and leisure combined facility

Expérience fantastique: Swimming lessons are going great and duringe my daughter's swimming lessons I go out to the woods with my son

Expérience positive: Nice pool and helpful staff

Expérience positive: This is my once a week, neighbourhood go-to for a sauna/steam. It's not the prettiest facility but it's close, the staff are friendly, and the facilities work the way they're supposed to mostly. The sauna is an exception as I didn't find it gets that hot. Some of the regulars were spotted putting a splash of cold water onto the thermostat to try and keep the heat up but the heat seems to be set at a low point. The steam room is nice, complete with blazing hot drips from the ceiling. I have never used the gym but the facility looks great. All in all a great local rec centre.

Expérience fantastique: Glad the hot tub is back up and going. Nice pool and two gyms to work out in too

Expérience fantastique: Awesome experience!!

Expérience fantastique: Nice pool to swim laps. It's a shame the hot tub wasn't working but will be nice when it's back in action.

Expérience positive: In need of serious upgrades. Basic pool and basic facilities all around.

Expérience fantastique: Good place to be!

Expérience positive: Fitness center & public pool, hot tub, sauna & steam room

Expérience fantastique: It's up hill.form me.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing place. Friendly people. Good facility

Expérience positive: I love the new whiteboards.

Expérience positive: Good facilities but getting old.

Expérience fantastique: Always a great community centre!

Expérience positive: Not the newest facility but it is well kept and has great open skate.

Expérience fantastique: Lovely place to rest, relax and detox.

Expérience positive: A great community centre witb a pool and lots of programming. I learned to swim here and 40 years later, so are my kids :)
