Abbey Centre - Blackfalds, Alberta

Patrick S. C.

The Abbey Centre is a state of the art recreational facility that offers a large gymnasium with ample room for multiple sporting events, a fitness room equipped with plenty of cardio machines and stretching areas. The outdoor aquatic playground is a must if you enjoy water slides or are bringing the family. Outside the building, there is an amphitheater for hosting events and a jungle gym for kids. The war memorial is worthy of respect. Take a moment and reflect on all that we enjoy from the efforts of the fallen soldiers.

Beautiful day when we went. The pool opened at 10am Friday and the 2 slides opened about half an hour after that. Quick, easy swim test gave the kids more freedom. Nephew was under 4 ft but is a better swimmer than older kids because of training and he had to go down the slide with someone older/an adult. The facility itself was clean, it wasn’t too busy, there’s a small lazy river and climbing wall, as well as a big dive tank and one diving board. The shallow area and splash park looked great too. Grandma was able to sit on a chair and parents lay on beach chairs. Bring your own lock or rent one out for lockers. Staff helped us with lunch ideas and were kind to all.

It was pretty packed but my kids had FUN!!! The splash pad, kiddie pool, slides and hot tub were all a BLAST.

After spending hours and hours under the sun and in the water we mellowed out at the indoor playroom.

Even with half of Central Alberta at the pool their staff and lifeguards were IMPECCABLE.

Fun outdoor pool! Slides are great and come out in relatively shallow water in one end of the pool. Adults are allowed to ride with their child if the child doesn't reach the height requirement. Family rate is not super expensive, but will cost extra if you have a large family. We had six total five kids and one adult all from the same house, had to pay the family rate plus pay for one child as an add-on. Parking is free but fills up on hot days so you may want to arrive early.

Admission fees are $20 per family (2 adults and all kids under 18) The waiting time is long. We waited for an hour before we were able to get in. The pool area is nice with lounge chairs. There’s a hot tub, slides, splashing area for kids and a separate deeper pool. Showers and changing rooms are available as well.
Overall it was a good experience except for the long wait times.

I saw this on a friend's IG page and had to check it out! Well worth the drive! Less crowded, and I feel safer knowing the pools arent as deep and there were lifeguards who actually life guarded unlike Edmonton pools where lifeguards are often chit chatting with other employees than keeping an eye on folks. Only downside is the snackbar. A bit overpriced for food. Could have spent $50 here and had a kids feast of Costco food but I wanted to support the local inhouse kitchen. But after the quality of the food we got for the money we spent? Naw.

Great outdoor pool! Both waterslides are easy enough for somewhat younger children as you are allowed to take a child on your lap. We enjoyed the shallow pool as well as the outdoor hot tub. We'll definitely be back!

Nice facility with a variety of workout , play, swim in the summer and a walking track on the top floor going around a 3 court multiple universal game area , I didn’t give it 5 stars because the walk I did around the track was very warm almost unbearable hot… maybe its been corrected?
