Nice clean park . My daughter loves the splash pad . The pool in the summer is also decent , good for small children. In the winter we make use of the leisure skates on Sundays
Owen Kelsie
The experience was pretty good overall, the park is decently size and fun for the kids and the splash pad is nice. Everything was good besides 2 incompetent lifeguards at the pool who were too busy talking with one another to notice a 4 year old who was stuck on the ladder yelling for help less than 10 feet away from them. I was across the pool from him and was able to hear him and and get over to him before they even looked his way once, completely sad considering its your job to pay attention to the little kids in the pool as a lifeguard but needless to say he is fine though and their conversation was never interrupted by him.

A park that has a triple slide, a baby slide. Lots of swings, monkey bars and lots of green. I love this park as do the kids. It's hidden in the community

Beautiful community center! Lots of free programs and drop in days for various sports and activities. Basketball courts, hockey arena, top notch hardball diamond, playground and huge pool with gradual slope (accessible!) including a slide. Large deck poolside, for sunbathing or keeping an eye on your kiddos. Great sightlines. Rec staff is AMAZING!! . Pool staff...well let's just say that's another story we wont get into here.. --> Parents be mindful..

Amazing hockey program run here. My little guy (4 years) started in the hawks nest (learning to skate with gear basically). The helpers are great with the kids and help provide lots of 1 on 1 learning. My little guy (now 5) was able to move up to the U7 rec team. He loves it. The kids are on the ice the whole game (split between practice and actual game time), the coaches are friendly, encouraging and genuinely love what they do, and the price is more than reasonable. Highly recommend!
