Story

In the early 1980s, the Castle Downs Recreation Society (CDRS) established a vision for a district park located in Castle Downs. The CDRS is composed of several community leagues in the area. The community dreamt of a park site that contained sport fields, playgrounds, picnic areas and a major recreation centre.
In 1989, the City of Edmonton opened the Castle Downs Recreation Centre with twin ice arenas and a community hall. Still, more remained to be accomplished in order to have a fully developed recreation centre, a recreation centre that boasted areas to exercise and socialize, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium.

This is literally the best YMCA I’ve ever attended. It is the cleanest, best maintained, best staffed, and best managed of any I’ve seen across western canada. The breadth of facilities include, a pool with hot tub, a running track, racquetball court, expansive weight and cardio facilities lots of machines = zero wait or time restrictions, gym, spin class, assorted fitness classes, daycare, and more see photos for more. I met first day with Bradley, who was extra kind, gentle, welcoming, and happy to show me around. The price is perfectly reasonable considering the all-encompassing variety on offer. Even the best Golds Gym I ever attended didn’t have as much on offer and was much more expensive. There was even a specialized machine for someone with a disability. No reason for anyone not to attend here. $$
I would like to rate zero star if i can for this place. I went swimming in the every evening time a the YMCA. The changing rooms floors are so dirty and full of sands and smell full of urine ,staffs don't do the diligence cleaning the floors after every class lessons . I also been to servus credit union in st Albert. the staffs always spray water and clean up the changing room floors after each swimming lesson in winter time.
I have been taking my son here since he was just a baby now he's almost 9 and he learned to swim and we love the ymca and the castledowns community. Friendly staff and fair prices for the monthly membership pass. The pool is clean and never any problems.
Was going to sign my kids and I up for monthly memberships but the lack of enthusiasm from the evening “manager” about showing us around and answering questions made me rethink spending my money there. If you don’t want to be there then find a different job.
The Castle Downs YMCA reminded me a lot of the William Lutsky one. They have very similar layouts in terms of the fitness centre. However, this location seemed to have a much younger crowd in general, unlike the typical senior citizen population at most YMCAs. They've expanded their fitness centre space to accommodate modern fitness trends, which is evident in the photo with fitness equipment in a room that very clearly used to be a squash court. Not a bad facility overall! They have a wide variety of equipment, and they prioritize the most versatile pieces.
A great place for your kids to learn how to swim and do other sports while the rest of the family get their time to get fit too in the gym, do yoga, zumba and join other group sports!
Castle Downs YMCA truly do amazing work. We have our 2 kids age 5 & 7 enrolled in soccer, basketball, swimming, and in the fantastic day/weekly/summer camps. The staff are friendly and caring, our kids always have so much fun and ask me when they will go back. Shout Out to Brandon, who oversees the rec programs, he has made registration for our kids a breeze. Shout Out to all facility staff during the difficult times we all have faced. Keep up the amazing work.
Good staff and nice, clean place. Would have been a 5 if regular membership had access to sauna.
I've never felt I've had enough room to do my weights. Trying to do a weighted lunge takes room. And my workout lasts over an hour. I can usually find a spot to do my stuff. But mannn if theres like five people doing that where's the room! Otherwise this place is great. Its friendly and clean, I've never had anything stolen or locker busted in but I've been anxious for workout space.
While not a bad spot to catch a quick workout, some of the barbells are in bad need of replacement with something of a much higher quality, such as a Texas power bar. Change rooms were very clean last time I was there. Friendly staff and overall good atmosphere.
