Great place, I come to swim and my brother does taekwondo here. Staff are nice and welcoming and there are many things here (badminton, gym, basketball, soccer, volleyball, etc)

Affordable place to workout, no membership required. They could use some equipment upgrades and a larger variety of weight machines. Overall a good experience.

What a pleasant community center with a nice atmosphere, and robust amenities. I particularly like the pool and the gym. Outside is a nice playground for the kids, but it's not the best in the winter. Overall, a very big upgrade from the older community centers in Ottawa.

Gym in cheap, and as close as you get to Morgan's Grant. However the quality isn't great. It appears the equipment hasn't been replaced since the facility opened in 2013. There are no mats under the one of the squat racks, or the bench press (they use an old piece of plywood under part of the bench instead???). Even simple things like labelling where weights go using stickers is non-existent, so weights of all sizes are just strewn all over. There's only a single bench press for the whole space. Overall, for a beginner looking to save money and work out close to their home in South March, you can't get better than this. However, if you're somebody who is looking for quality, this gym really isn't it. If the city would invest a little more money into this facility, I actually believe it could be really great.

I love the pool here, it is one of the best in the city in terms of every standard. I am a regular lane swimmer here. However, I must state how unhappy I am with full lane swimming schedules. If you are a single working adult, you don’t have many options but 2 days after 7:30pm to work out. I was told that they intentionally don’t have any lane swimming session for the weekend afternoons in favor of family activities. Not everybody can make it to sessions at odd hours like 10am, we are working! I guess single working adults don’t have as much value even if we pay pretty much the same if not more taxes towards city to deliver these services.
