Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex

Women's change room not accessible due to some unknown issue so needed to use co-ed changr room with way too many families. Inclusive swim was not prepared for non-verbal Autistic child along with 2 other special needs children. Instructor was great but obviously overwhelmed. She indicated she will be asking for extra support for following weeks. Not enough room in smaller pool for number of parents with small babies causing inclusive group to not have enough space for swim instruction. Families with babies took over most of pool area. Babies crying in co-ed change room and not enough space for so many people at the 11:15am Sunday swim lesson time period.

The rink guys here make the best ice in Ottawa ! Always clean dressing rooms.

So far it seems like a very nice facility. The first time we were there the woman's change room going to the pool had zero toilet paper in any of the stalls .... Hoping that doesn't happen again!

Fun times to watch my friend’s son playing and those young folks giving it all they can for a sport they are so passionate about it. Clean environment.

Went for a public skating - and although there were lots of checkpoints to ensure safety - it was well organized and the staff there were very helpful. Felt safe and had a blast.

I love the gym it is one of the best and most complete gyms in Town

Good for family recreation and sports activities. Warm waters, friendly staff.End of Red cross program. The new program is called SwimCity

This seems to be an older facility but the interior is upgraded and it's clean and bright. We've only been to the pool and the ice rinks. Both are fine - clean, well maintained. The ice rink changing rooms are small and seem designed for kids' hockey teams. The swimming lessons for babies are good.

Great fun rink! We need many MORE like this!!!

Older recreation center with lots of activities. The west side door is less accessible than the south side door but there is an elevator. Plenty of gendered washrooms. Lots of open spaces. Heater push button is on the side of the announcement box in East rink.
