Reviews

Outdoor exercise equipment, beach volleyball, bike pump track, and full running track plus nice public toilets and water fountains. The kids park and crazy slide are out of this world. Kids never want to leave.

Good gym but the sauna smells like old socks

Great facility, not enough parking, too many homeless people camped out over or beside the vents of the washrooms/changing rooms.

Overall, pretty good equipment variety and clean facilities. However, gym is busy as is with students, but it’s irritating the level of busy-ness it gets since it is open to the public. Students shouldn’t be forced to pay for the Student Athletic Fee and should be allowed to opt-out considering how busy the gym is always. They also take way too long to repair broken equipment.


Great fields, well lit, nice track around, basketball court, nice playground, small bike track and washroom available (but washroom may be closed at night). Expensive parking lot for a public space like that. Spotted rats on the North side of the park. Would give 5⭐️ if parking was cheaper and/or a concession kiosk was available.

Unfortunately it's not the same anymore. Parking is always full, there is not enough equipment either. There are only one pair of weights so you have to wait so long for your turn. Staff frequently lock the session rooms and you're not allowed to use those for one reason or the other.
The facilities are not enough of Trent students, so I won't recommend taking a membership if you are not studying here. It would be more beneficial to look for other options. I would be looking elsewhere for future.

A great facility with lots of changing rooms, bleachers along one side, and a shop selling pizza slices, etc.
Of course winning a 4A's Provincial Championship helps too!!

Well kept field

You deserve 0 stars. The place is packed with students. If you’re a member of the community it’s not worth the cheap membership to wait in lines for equipment. The session rooms are always interrupted with staff. What a joke. Stick to students not people from the public. Parking is always full as well.

Great place to go for a gym. Sports like basketball, squash, and rowing are also available.
Great crowd and employees. The place is neat and clean. It is also very well maintained.

Well maintained large multi use fields with solid fencing and decent access all the way around. Large public washrooms with wheelchair accessible paths. Small pay parking lot off Hastings Street. Climbing structure and slides facing the fields and a track around them gives siblings and pectators something to do.



This location is ideal for soccer enthusiasts, offering a great place to play. However, the parking situation can be a drawback as paid parking is required, unless you're willing to park a bit further away. Overall, it's a solid spot for soccer but the parking situation may inconvenience some.





What a beautiful track and field. I've come here at various hours and I'm able to get my training done with no issues. I believe the lights are on until 10pm if you're coming here in the evening. On Nov. 24, I came in for a track workout in the morning before work at 630am. Not all of the lights were on but enough to see where I was running. FYI, the track is 580m. There's also an optional and very small incline and decline just before the back stretch. Great atmosphere.





One of my favorite feilds in Vancouver. Diverse range of activities for adults, teens, kids, and toddlers alike.
soccer feilds - artificial turf
underground skateboarding park
biking course
kids and toddler playground
basketball courts
sand courts for volleyball
excellent running & walking track
good options for stairs training
washrooms are clean
parking is fair on the rates
People are friendly. Great options if you're looking into soccer programs options.

Great place for walking

Good facilities. Having the cardio area look over the gym and rock climbing wall area is a really nice touch. Nothing bad to say about the overall layout of the place, except for when it gets busy. When it's busy because of the limited size of all areas it can feel a little overwhelming and claustrophobic. The one gripe I have is with the gym itself, and that is regarding the machines. Unfortunately because of the limited size of the area, there's only one hamstring curl machine, for example. When this machine is out of service, there's evidently no other machine and all one can do is wait until it is fixed. That machine specifically has been 'out of service' for almost 4 weeks now, at least. Other machines have started to be 'out of service' now, never mind the ones that have been for months already now. With the space being busy as it is for each session, there has to be emphasis on fixing these machines in a respectable time frame. Seemingly it is as though when one machine is slightly messed up or completely off kilter, its slapped with an 'out of service' sticker and nothing happens.

It's convenient for university students, but it's been extremely busy the past few months. Often the machines will all be busy, especially the cardio machines upstairs so you have wait or pick something else. Simply not enough available for the busy times. The space upstairs is poorly organized for dynamic workouts as well. However, it's great when it's quiet. No complaints about cleanliness, and the classes are great as well.

Great spot for a game of soccer


Beautiful facility and well maintained

A lot of equipment. Clean environment. Staff provides instructions on how to use the equipment properly.

It's a sports field

My daughter plays soccer and she has alot of fun.











Nice turf fields in the heart of east Vancouver. Really modern. Well lit and covered benches and cheap parking. Great use of space and well thought out with a playground, basketball court and dirt bike track, table tennis , beach volleyball and par core !

Good seating and views. Just a nice field

Probably not the best gym for swimmers (who aren't in a club). Mixed feelings. It's a lovely facility in a beautiful location, and has friendly staff. The pool is well-maintained and kept at a beautiful temperature for swimming. My locker rental is a reasonable price. On the flip side, the pool is so rented-out that lane swim offerings in the early morning and evening hours are pretty scarce - members are lucky to have access to three lanes for 90 minutes or less four nights of the week, and share the pool with public swims. The morning lane swim is from 7:30 to 9:00, which isn't great if you don't work or study at Trent. Trent's my alma mater and I love it there but after seeing the swim options reduce over the last year or two, I'm not so sure it's the right gym for me.
