3 Best Recreation Centers in London, ON

I have been very excited this year to get back into swimming. I enjoy working on my laps early in the morning 3 days a week. Mondays and Wednesdays, I have added water walking and Aquafit. The water walking is fantastic, and has truly helped my posture on land. The pool and change rooms are very clean, the staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the many programs available at this community centre. I highly suggest you come check it out.

This place is great for kids. I discovered it by mistake and am so glad I did. There is a pool with a climbing wall and an observation deck, a lounge with coffee and activities, and lots of little things to keep children entertained including drop-activities like ping pong and counting stairs, murals and large decals on the floors with tasks to do. Love this place. Very reasonable prices and friendly, helpful staff. Oh, outside is a beautiful skate park and a path through the woods.

I go there every week for swimming very nice and clean. Water is warm not freezing cold . Front desk is also very helpful and kind with all your questions. Definitely go check it out for any community programs.

A pretty large facility in the mid-east of London, despite it's name, it acts as both a sports facility and community center. There are a number of rooms that serve for courses like Lego Robotics classes for kids although the main draw is still the sports facilities. The program seems to be updated to using Vex kits and they also have Minecraft. They house outdoor and indoor tennis courts, as well as volleyball and squash. That's a lot in one center. Notably, there are rest areas, perhaps for family waiting, and even vending machines to quench your thirst after strenuous activity. Parking is ample and they have set aside reserved spots for the handicapped.

Highbury and Cheapside has a real gem in the North Optimist Community Centre. They have inside and outside tennis courts, squash courts ( inside of course), and a large gym big enough for 6 badminton courts, or pickle ball or a variety of other sports. It is a real valuable community recreational facility. It doesn't have a swimming pool but the are several not too far away.

Went for roller skating with some friends and it was a really fun experience! The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the rental skates were in better condition than I’ve seen at other similar joints. They had fun music playing and a decent traffic flow system. The bathrooms/change rooms were also very clean. Had a great time all around.
