Canmore Recreation Centre

My 2 year old wasn’t allowed in because they wanted him in a car seat buckled up. THE MOST STUPID condition required at a recreation facility. This also made it difficult for my 5 year old to participate. But they did say a 14 year old child can “watch” my 5 year old. - a child watching a younger child at a recreation centre makes no sense especially when the parent is present. And who would be carrying a car seat for a 2 year old around Canmore when the majority of visitors would be putting their child in a stroller, which is also not allowed in the facility. -

Modern and clean gym facility. Do note closing hours on saturday and sunday which is at 9pm.

My daughter attended the Big Fun Camp here for 5 weeks. And loved every day (except one, we’ll get to that later).

Absolutely the best staff and the most interesting itinerary I’ve ever seen for a full day camp: in one week she golfed, swam, rock climbed, took a field trip to a 3 parks and 1 planetarium, and walked over 10k-15k steps a day. It’s incredible. Absolute highest recommendation!

*the one day I’d recommend skipping is the field trip to the Lake Minnewanka scary haunted boat tour. Was NOT appropriate for a 7 year old, and multiple parents complained. Otherwise, every, single, field trip is awesome!

Took my toddler for New Years Party for kids there and he had a blast.

Lots going on here - skating, gymnastics, meeting. The walking track was unavailable due to a gymnastics event, but often offers a convenient way to get exercise on an icy day
