WATERMANIA REVIEWS

Took my family here while staying in Delta for the weekend. The water park felt a lot less busy than other water parks I've taken my kids to. The lifeguards were on top of it when kids were jumping into the pool where they weren't supposed to & when kids under 16 were in the hot tub unaccompanied. I really appreciated that, especially since I wanted to relax in the hot tub. SUPER affordable & friendly staff. Would go again next time I'm in Richmond.

When I Came here it was excellent experience because the water was warm in the kids pool I can see little kids having fun There are lots of showers and ten change rooms. I basically recommend going to this pool if you are trying for a good pool.

Good pool. Disease free so far and the water temperature was fine for us. My kids had fun, they were worn out after playing hard. The staff were nice, great place for a group. I would come to Watermania again and would recommend it to others.

MINORU CENTRE FOR ACTIVE LIVING REVIEWS

At last we were able to reserve a spot to visit the new pool at Minoru centre. We were a group of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) we paid $25 Canadian for 1 hour and 30 minutes but it was totally worth it. The staff is well organized and the facilities are immaculate, every time a group leaves they sanitize all the handles and public areas. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. I just hope that after covid they don’t limit the visits to 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Wonderful place to calm nerves I went with bestie love of my life @belindajackson it’s the only place that has a cold water bath also . Has a beautiful enormous hot tub bath with waterfall like massage fall Super moderate, has a nice private change room stall which is great for our privacy as parents when we feel the urge to wash our hair and get refreshed and relief from the heat.

Amazing building. I can see why so many people are drawn to this location. Something for everyone! Huge hottub. Multiple large seimming pools. So much more than just a pool too! Exercise centre with an abundance of equipment. As many people I have talked woth about this location it really is "worth the drive"

SOUTH ARM COMMUNITY CENTRE REVIEWS

When I used to live near here, I'd bike around South Arm Park almost every day I could! It was such a great park, and still is! Nothing has changed that much ever since I left. Of course, the basketball court has, but like that has needed a renovation since it's last renovation haha! It's much better now, I can tell you that.

Lots of nice green recreation fields and pitches for soccer, rugby, baseball for the community, a secondary school and also an elementary school.There are also 8 tennis courts which can be very busy during the late afternoons and early evenings. In the same area is an open air water park which is only open in Summer. If you're not into sports, it's also a very nice park for a walk or a jog!

Front line staff are always pleasant and very encouraging! Wide variety of classes to choose or just go upstairs and do your own thing!! Something for everyone!!
