“Affordable fitness + one of the
best squash communities in the city.”
“A great addition for the community of West Hillhurst. Many very affordable fitness options and one of the finest squash groups in the city. For many of the squash players its a hidden gem ! An excellent box ladder with over 100 male/female participants of all levels and yearly club tournament. It's never hard to find a game. The ice rink is being renovated and is expected to reopen in the fall of 2017. 3 Tennis Courts outside which were repaved in 2010, very playable and great on a sunny day. The facility is aging however management and staff are doing their best to keep it up to date.”

“Budget-friendly, welcoming, and always a great experience.”
“Great place to play squash. Very clean facility, and very nice staff. The rates are reasonable as well. It is in a very convenient location, well worth it even coming from the south. The yearly rates are affordable, and well worth it. I go every Monday, and have yet to have a bad experience. Even the other members are helpful and friendly. Couldn't ask for more.”

“Great value, family-friendly,
and community-driven.”
“Great local community centre with lots of affordable fitness options compared to chain gyms. They also have childcare and when the roof on the arena is fixed, free drop in skating for members. Loved having the Barn pub upstairs and hope it reopens when construction is done.”
★★★★★
“Something for everyone—programs, fitness, and community.”
“We are new to the area and have become involved in several programs through the WHCA. Our daughter attends the preschool, which is phenomenal. She did sportball sports camp in the summer and is taking music lessons this fall. There are fitness classes, skating lessons, a community garden, tennis courts, fitness facility. We feel so blessed to live a block away. We highly recommend the programming!”

“A hidden gem with one of the city’s largest squash ladders.”
“Great community rink and health center. Has three squash courts that few people know about outside of those who play there. Interestingly it has the largest squash ladder in the city; close to a 100 people on it.”
★★★★★
“A go-to spot for tennis, squash, and pickleball.”
“If you play tennis, squash or pickleball and live anywhere near the community of West Hillhurst, you should consider purchasing an annual membership here. The West Hillhurst Health Club, which is part of this community centre, offers all three sports at very affordable prices.”
