4 stars strictly as a a birthday party venue. Once your kids and their friends get old enough to enjoy water slides and waves on their own, this is one of the best city venue for birthday parties. It is possible to have a nice party for under a $100 for a dozen kids.
The Green Room on the second floor rents for $30 an hour and comes with a microwave (and maybe a small fridge). It could easily handle 25 kids but do you really want 25 kids? And unlike some other venues, you can bring your own food which keeps the cost down.
Swimming fees will be reduces by 10% from already cheap price if you have more than 10 kids. -

Well when it comes to city facilities this place isnt the best. I use to swim here and workout here but thats only because I lived near by and at the time had no car, so really I had little choice. Its nice to have a pool here in South Edmonton but when I go in I just get the "dirty" sense, not that I am but the building is (just in case I needed to clarify) dosent look like its well kept. Also depending on when you go but theres the two Highschools on either side of the pool. This makes for that crowd that thinks there all cool and badass hanging around smoking. Ughhh just grow up . If you have an alternative pool to go to, do it.

I used to go to Millwoods Rec Centre all the time! And I still have fun when I do.
I really like the swimming pool and hot tub they have here. They aren't anything extremely special but I just really like them.
Also, the women's change room is clean! I have been in some nasty change rooms and I never felt comfortable or clean in them. I had to wear shoes or sandals every single step. Not this one though. They keep the change rooms clean and organized. Something that I will never take for granted again.
I like Millwoods Rec Centre because it's cheap. You can spend hours here doing whatever you want and it's less than $10. It's a really good deal. -

I've been attending the Millwoods Rec Centre for about 3 months now and can't complain!
The facilities are good considering membership is pretty cheap (around $30/month, or $8 for individual visits) for access to all the centre has to offer. I can't speak for the pool area since I spend all my time upstairs in the fitness room.
This is a good gym for you if you're a "no frills" kind of person. The kind of person that just wants to go in, get your workout done, and go out. Nothing fancy here, and that's the way I like it. There's a good selection of weights, and the staff are good spotter if you need them. I do hope they get more treadmills: there are only about 8 so you might have to wait a bit to get a hold of one.
It gets pretty busy from 6-8pm so plan accordingly! Pop-in immediately after work if you can. -

This south side recreation center is a great place to go work out, swim or play racquetball. The swimming pool was fun. There is also a hot tub, wading pool and steam room in the pool area. We went on a day when swimming classes were cancelled and it was really nice with no kids at the pool. We also booked a racquetball court-- on short notice (I was surprised they had one available still).
All in all-- good prices, great facility. It seems really clean. The changing rooms are spacious and well kept.
I know they offer some fitness classes, although I have not signed up for one. This recreation center even has a boot camp that is offered for significantly less cash than competitors like "survivor boot camp."
For an adult, the visit prices range are $8 or $9 depending on how much access you want. Ten visit passes are available, as well as monthly and annual passes.

The Rec Center is really old but it's not bad. I don't have a membership here but it is pretty cheap. It is located in between Holy Trinity and J. Percy Page high schools so it is often packed with students. I think the best times to go would be during school hours or later at night.
They have tennis courts, squash, ice rinks, swimming and a weight room. You can get in pretty much any work out you want. The pool is pretty great for learning to swim . They also offer swim classes.
Even though the place is getting really old they have a pretty loyal following.
