Richcraft Recreation Complex

The Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata is an average facility overall. It has a good variety of amenities, including the pool, fitness areas, and sports spaces, which makes it convenient for families. The building is generally clean and well-maintained. However, it can get very busy, especially during peak hours, which makes it harder to fully enjoy the facilities. Parking can also be challenging at times. Staff are polite, but the overall experience feels a bit crowded and unorganized when it’s busy. It’s a decent community centre, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

What a pleasant community center with a nice atmosphere, and robust amenities. I particularly like the pool and the gym. Outside is a nice playground for the kids, but it's not the best in the winter. Overall, a very big upgrade from the older community centers in Ottawa.

Gym in cheap, and as close as you get to Morgan's Grant. However the quality isn't great. It appears the equipment hasn't been replaced since the facility opened in 2013. There are no mats under the one of the squat racks, or the bench press they use an old piece of plywood under part of the bench instead???. Even simple things like labelling where weights go using stickers is non-existent, so weights of all sizes are just strewn all over. There's only a single bench press for the whole space.nnOverall, for a beginner looking to save money and work out close to their home in South March, you can't get better than this. However, if you're somebody who is looking for quality, this gym really isn't it.nnIf the city would invest a little more money into this facility, I actually believe it could be really great.

We love this place. Every weekend we are visiting the pool and sauna. Very clean, good organization, nice team.nNear the place available free parking. Behind the place good play structure whit the splash pad. Inside the place clean washroom and change room.nUpstairs nice gym.

I love the pool here, it is one of the best in the city in terms of every standard. I am a regular lane swimmer here.nnHowever, I must state how unhappy I am with full lane swimming schedules. If you are a single working adult, you don’t have many options but 2 days after 7:30pm to work out. I was told that they intentionally don’t have any lane swimming session for the weekend afternoons in favor of family activities. Not everybody can make it to sessions at odd hours like 10am, we are working!nnI guess single working adults don’t have as much value even if we pay pretty much the same if not more taxes towards city to deliver these services.
