Oak Bay Recreation Centre

Great staff and well maintained recreation centre. Welcoming regulars.

This place is great because there is lots of activities including skating witch is 3.50 for rentals and 3.50 admission and there's also swimming that is really fun because they have a giant pool that is always clean with lots of life guards and the fitness room is good to they also have a field in the back for soccer and one inside

I've been going for over 40 years. Lots of great water activities for the youth and a nice big hot tub and sauna for the older crowd. I very highly recommend this family oriented facilities. It would be nice to see the old roller skating rink activity make a comeback.

Excellent recreation center. Includes a hockey area, a swimming pool with slide hot tube and sauna, a gym, an indoor baseball field, an indoor tennis court. Lots of courses! Friendly service. There are several parking lots. The nearest parking lot to the gate is often not available.

All in all this Recreation Center is very good. It has a fine pool, a workout facility that is quite up to date, and other areas like the skating rink. There are a couple of areas for improvement including the family changing room for the pool which is small, crowded, and uncomfortable to use due to lack of things like benches or an extra change table for babies as there is only one. The workout area suffers from problems due to some of the people who use it and refuse to follow rules or act aggressively towards people who do follow the rules. Overall it is a great place to bring children for swim lessons, to go for a swim, to work out, and to engage in many different healthy activities. There is free parking, but it fills up fast at busy times. There is also some free street parking around the area.
