Customer Reviews

Matt MacDonald

This is an outstanding facility. I haven't seen or experienced it all yet, but I have been to yhe gym about 10 times, and the pool once, and to a few of the food vendors. Everything has been excellent. The gym can be a little busy at times, but there is a good variety of equipment, fair selection of machines, lots of free weights, benches, and squat racks. All of the staff I have interacted with have been amazing. Food has been great. Highly recommend the frozen yogurt place. The pool has hot tub, steam room, sauna. All really nice. Only hot tub I have ever seen with lounger type seats in the water. All around great place!

One of the nicest sports facilities in Alberta, it has everything, golf , weight room, walking track, ice rink , all kinds of courts and few options for food. As well as a massive football / soccer stadium. Full sized baseball stadium. Also has some really nice ballrooms for hosting events.

In my opinion it is a place with very good conditions and very clean, but I think that if you want to take a picture of your family or your child, it's all your right, because it's a public and neutral place. And with respect to the pool area the staff becomes somewhat irritating or aggressive with respect to cell phones, they are more aware of that than children in the water, we know that privacy is important because of the various cultures but sometimes there are important emergencies or calls that we must answer, for no reason are they allowed to treat people badly or look badly or look at people with a bad face, It's very unpleasant, today a red-haired one was chasing me with a hateful face because I answered a call and he followed me wherever I went, he really made me angry, I hope they don't have that kind of people working with the population. For others happy because we spent a refreshing afternoon, thank you very much ????.

This place has everything you could think of and more! From outdoor sports to indoor gymnasiums, courts, gym, and even swimming, there is something for everyone who would like to get out of the house and be active. My favorite part by far is the pool, given that they have both lane swim, free float, and an amazing water park for the kids. One thing I didn't expect when arriving was learning that they have a golf course as well. The layout is thoughtful and expansive, giving room for expansions without compromising the feel and making it seem too big. The first thing to do is go in the entrance and grab a membership or multi pass because I guarantee you'll want to return.

It was such a pleasure to provide technology here for the Oil Sands Conference and Expo! The staff were super helpful, the electrical of the place is good quality and well-labeled, the food was delicious (one meal pictured), and the loading access to the building, ramps, and elevators were very accessible and made it easy for us to accomplish the logistical aspects of the event. I even got to mix audio for a UCP Leadership Debate and got a photo with the new premier (also pictured), haha! Thanks so much for having us, hope to come back again some day!
