| - Went with a couple buddies and our tidy crew of 7 kids to burn off some energy and get the kids out of the house for awhile during the holidays today. This was my first time at this centre, after having tried a bunch of the other pools in the NW and SW. One of my buddies had gone before and really liked it so we thought we'd drive the extra distance to check it out.
It's a huge facility for sure with something for everyone. The price was right at only $14 for the 3 of us for the afternoon (kids 5 and 7) and easy enough to make your way around it with all the decent signage they have. Lockers only cost a loonie and you get it back at the end.
The change rooms were... well, change rooms. Typically kinda gross, but spacious and lots of lockers. Had a quick shower and then walked the long chilly hallway to the waterpark area. They have a bunch of different slides to check out, the big water play area foe the kids, the wavepool, hottub area and then a smaller pool with the diving board. We tried em all, and had a blast.
It is a public pool, so you have to know it's going to be kinda gross with that many people. Also very different seeing so many people in the pool with pants, shirts, headdresses and everything on as well. I realize it's a different part of town, etc but I didnt think they'd allow people to be in the public pool pretty much fully dressed.
I don't think I'd travel the extra distance to hit this pool up again, but everyone did have a great time and it is a nice facility - it just needs a bit more attention to the cleanliness I'd say.
