YORK RECREATION CENTRE REVIEWS

There is so much inside this building. The pool is awesome, and it has a junior pool for juniors from age chub 0-5. It also has a big gym with multiple basketball nets and has volleyball programs and badminton and floor hockey in the parking lot outside. There is a workout / aerobics space upstairs with an oval track. There are very many different programs for all ages almost everyday, and seating areas for waiting parents. A very great place.

Friendly staff, large multipurpose facilities, fairly clean, and definitely welcoming. Wish both change rooms attached to the pool were open during the evenings when there's both youth swimming lessons and aquafit bootcamp on---often the wait to get a changing stall when all the classes end at once can be a long one!

Went for the preschool swim time. Me and my daughter had a lot of fun. For preschool swim time you have to take appointment card at the front desk because there's a 25 person limit in the small pool. And would suggest to take your own lock for the locker.

ETOBICOKE OLYMPIUM REVIEWS

LOVE this facility...it's honestly the best etobicoke has to offer for swiming...track...gym and believe it or not Archery! This is my go to place on the weekend or before and after work....the facility itself is fantastic but it's the combination of the area ...centennial hill + skating rink and Outdoor track! Really has it all for anything outside.....you can walk miles and miles of trail close by as well ....so yes if you are in the toronto area and are looking for something fun and active! This is your place look no more.

Like the club very much. the only thing I would change is the sanitizing of the equipment in the fitness area. U think that rather than having two dispensers with wipes, it would be far more effective and easier to put spray bottles with paper towels out.

Eomac members love and are very greatful for the Etobicoke Olympium. It’s our home for 30+ years. Dreaming of a second 50 meter pool and a patio pool yard renovation in the near future. Hint hint nudge nudge City of Toronto.

JIMMIE SIMPSON RECREATION CENTRE REVIEWS

I've used this Rec center and surrounding park for years I'm 36 years old and I began playing here when I was 12 or 13. I was a member of many of their youth groups I used to skate on the rink and play badminton in tennis in their Court. When I had my son we spent nearly the first full summer of his life at the wading pool. I love this park and all its memories. Even the dog walkers here are reverent and respectful.

Offers a wide variety of free programs for kids. I recommend especially if you are trying to see what activities would interest your child. Has a Gym, Pingpong tables, basketball courts, swimming pools and goodsize change rooms. There is an a elevator but is super slow. Bus accessible. Very limited parking.

Great big grass areas to play sports in or relax with friends. It is a big dog area so expect to see many people with dogs. 2 Tennis courts, Basketball pad, soccer field and many more sports related activities here. In the North area there is a play stucture for smaller children with sand.
