Review from Luke L.

I always love it when a community centre is upgraded- it's been totally revamped and upgraded. There's an ice rink, a gymnasium, lots of classes, and my favourite: the fitness centre.
In the fitness centre are two fancy cable stations that are super versatile, and a separate room full of bikes for spinning, one big TV so you don't miss the game. Oh, and there's a steam room, though it hasn't been in operation any of the times I've been there. Probably just working out the kinks as they've just opened.
It's a bit small so it does get crowded, and the change rooms are REALLY small with only 10 lockers, but they have more lockers in another area about 50 metres away and down a flight of stairs.
Trout Lake's best feature, IMO, is the lake itself. Nothing better than to get your blood pumping with a few laps around the lake before heading inside for weight training. Hillcrest is the place to swim, but Trout Lake is where to go to run.Listed in: fitness

Everything is brand new - the community center just re-opened January 16th! The fitness center isn't all that big, and it does get quite busy. The machines are high tech - touch screen treadmills and a chin up machine that has a tv to explain things to you. The weight area though is always super packed when ever I go, and I go different times during the day.
They offer a nice range of classes - like belly dancing to spin classes. The Spin classes are awesome! You can buy a pack of 10 spin admissions for $50. $5 a spin class?!?!? bargain right there. The instructors are awesome, i've had 4 different instructors so far and all good.
If this center is in your area, definitely give it a try! If it wasn't for the spin classes though, I'd only be giving it 3 stars. -

The unisex shared steam room is working and you access it from the fitness centre, which can feel a bit too public since everyone exercising can see you entering the steam room.

Review from Rich E.

I haven't been here in over 10 years and everything is NEW! So new, they are still under construction and parking is available on the street only. I drove by a few times over the last few years when they were doing the Olympic renovations and saw that they were now open to the public. Dropped-in for a bit of stick n' puck yesterday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised.
Fond memories of my first peewee hockey experiences came rushing back but the rink really needed an update. I walked in the back entrance and WOW! "New rink smell"! The ice was excellent albeit a few low spots in the corners. The design is very similar to the rest of the olympic legacy rinks with nice high ceilings, natural wood beams and natural sunlight - it almost feels like you're outdoors.
The only thing they can improve on is providing pucks like a few of the other community centres - Brittania & West End. It just saves you from losing your own puck(s) or chasing around a single puck.
This place is awesome and the rest of the community centre isn't even built!! Also, if you have a Vancouver Parks Board membership, you can use it for public skating and hockey drop-in programs.Listed in: Community Centres, Rinks and…

Really? The FIRST to review? People, go get your skate on at this fabulous facility.. Totally revamped, caring staff, big rink, and nice NEW skates. I'm pretty sure the one's I got had NEVER been used before.
You can also get in on a game of ice hockey at the far end of the rink. It's a pretty dope feature and most definitely very Canadian of them.Listed in: Alive on the Drive

I came here on Sunday to skate with friends.
I didn't even know this place was here, but it is beautiful! My skating skills on the other hand are not! This place makes me want to learn how to skate well again, I think around 8 bucks got me on the rink with a pair of fairly new skates and the staff are really nice about switching skates out if you need to get a different style or size- which was me! What a great workout! There's a section for kids to skate and hold on to those skate walkers- which I really really wanted to use, but my friends wouldn't let me! After a few tips and a lot of hand holding I was skating on the rink by myself. My friends were so proud; I felt like I was five- it was awesome! -

Great new spot for skating and otherwise, brought the kiddos from my daycare and they all had a blast. Also super rad is that you dont have to own your own skates! they provide a skate for you exact size and they always have lots, most are almost new so its not gross at all. Great new venue!! get there people!!!
