It’s a bit nicer than the acc. The field is really nice and it has a really big pool with a fun water slide. The rinks are nice but they need more seats

Great complex but let’s talk about the men’s washroom. Get rid of those waterless urinals and that hand dryer. Soooo gross. It smells like death and human waste if this description is not enough, just wander in and smell for your self. Do t forget to use that hand dryer though

The new extension of the sports center, the soft opening was on 3 March 2025. Lucky to have a chance to try the badminton drop in section. The new court is mainly for basketball and Pickleball, very bright and clean......but it's a pity that it is not designed for badminton. The background of the badminton courts are too white , you really couldn't see the bird....this is really too bad.

I would give this place 5 stars, but there’s one issue that really bothers me: they are allowing religious individuals to enter the pool wearing regular clothes instead of proper swimwear. I believe this shouldn’t be allowed.
Just like everyone else, all guests should be required to wear designated swimwear that’s appropriate for pool use regular clothing can carry outside germs and isn’t hygienic for shared water.
I want to be clear that I’m not against anyone’s religion, but rules should apply equally to everyone. If swimwear is a requirement, then it should be enforced consistently, regardless of religious or cultural background. Otherwise, it feels unfair to those who are expected to follow the rules. I would give this place 5 starts if it didn’t have this problem . My kids are in that same water swimming and I feel it’s very unfair to them. Please make the rules fair for everyone. Rules should apply to everyone. They have specific swim wear I have seen many online, that keeps them covered this is not fair at all.

I really enjoy this place for swimming.
It’s not too crowded, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Today, a lifeguard at the pool was extremely rude to us for no clear reason. Instead of politely explaining the rules, they yelled at us and spoke in a disrespectful tone, making us feel uncomfortable and embarrassed in front of others. They told us not to do certain things inside the pool, like splashing or playing games, but didn’t take the time to explain why or offer a more respectful reminder.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I booked the Aurora Desjardins Gymnasium for my son’s 11th birthday party, and the entire experience was a disaster from start to finish. Despite booking two months in advance and clearly requesting a soccer net and ball (the entire party was centered around a soccer game), nothing was provided. I was told I hadn’t paid for them — something NO ONE mentioned during the booking process.

To make matters worse, there was a giant construction ladder or some sort of equipment just sitting in the corner of the gym. Not only was it completely unsafe for a children’s party, but it also took up valuable space we had planned to use.

What really pushed things over the edge was the absolutely disgraceful behavior of the staff. Even though I had paid for the gym until 9:00 PM, a cleaner started harassing us around 7:30 PM to leave. He was rude, aggressive, and completely unprofessional , not just to me, but to my guests and even the children. We stayed until around 8:15 PM, but the atmosphere was so stressful and hostile, it completely ruined the event.

I spent over $1,000 on food, cake, and decorations ,none of which we even got to properly enjoy. I couldn’t serve the meal or celebrate. Worst of all, I didn’t even get one photo with my son on his birthday. That moment is gone forever.

This place is a joke. Poor communication, disorganized booking, unsafe conditions, and shockingly rude staff. They turned what should’ve been a joyful memory into a painful and expensive disappointment. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. Your time, money, and family memories deserve better.
