| - Inside this nondescript industrial building just north of Queen is (1) the country's largest indoor obstacle course centre and (2) your only opportunity to be in a ball pit without fear of being escorted out of Chuck E. Cheese's by a police officer.
The obstacles in this grownup playground ($20 for a day pass or $150/10) include monkey bars, tires, a ring swing (above the aforementioned ball pit), an unstable bridge, cargo net climbs, rope climbs, wooden wall climbs, other things you climb, climbs is starting to not sound like a real word anymore, and a big ol' warped wall. There are also classes ($20), Sunday mornings for kids ($10), and a cryosauna ($35).
Gyms are generally not my thing, as proven by the fact that I'm winded just from typing the above paragraph. I'm more of an American Pizza Warrior, if you know what I mean. But despite my lack of any sort of core or upper body or emotional strength, I didn't feel hopelessly out of my element here. There are friendly, non-judgmental vibes all around. I was told that I could go at my own pace. I went with a much more athletic person and we both enjoyed it - you can approach the courses in different ways to make them less, more, or much more challenging for your skill level. And it's fun.
I want to say "Welcome to the neighbourhood, Pursuit!" but it's not my neighbourhood...though now I'm starting to wish it was. Looking forward to seeing how this place grows and what they might add/change over time.
