Reviews of Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex (Gardener)

Dharma Boutique&Collectibles

Usually pretty good but sometimes we have had very bad and rude service at the front desk. Maybe someone just has their bad days.

Jon Schmuland (jonniestyle)

Very nice! Clean facility and professional staff!

Chris

Great fun training

Richard Pielou

Good place to swim but not enough lanes for laps.

Emmanuel Turner

Excellent venue for hockey ???? tournaments and home of Campbell River Storm!

Megan S

It's alright. I moved here from Vancouver so I may be spoiled.

Keegan Milliken

The pool is pretty good normally not too busy

Mona Gallant

It's the only pool here, lol. I do like most of the staff, especially the life guards and instructors. What isn't so hot is the heating system..this building has problems. .

Chris Carlin

Best pool in town.

Kevin James

Great programs for everyone in the family.

rick segal

Excellent facility to take the kids for a swim.

Selby Props

Great place to visit the life guards at the pool are incredibly friendly and helpful they can't do enough for you. I give it 3 stars though because the booking on the website is overly complex and hard to use. They also have one receptionist who's incredible rude and difficult to deal with

Sarah Curnow

Everything needed

Amber Brideau

Love coming here to get some exercise! I usually just use the pool and the steam room. The pool tends to be pretty cold but there are many ways to warm up after including the hot tub, the steam room and the sauna. Wish they had student pricing for post secondary students as well as highschool!

Ian MCQUADE

Nice facility found jets in whirlpool weak. Friendly staff

Leora Sawatzky

I really enjoy the fitness classes offered here. Great community of people, awesome instructors.

Michael Holloway

Great place to go and relax ???? only thing I dislike about this place are the life guards , I get you have a job to do yet be humble and don't walk around like you've got something to prove or act you are David Hasselhoff..

Candace Plamondon

Very nice facility. They offer a lot of fitness activities. Hockey, skating, swimming, weight room, aerobic classes as well as water aerobics. They have lots of fun nights for kids. Great place for all ages.

Josh Fry

Average arena with skating, swimming, gym and other activities. Could be cheaper for a public place.

Happy Yogi

Recently new to Campbell river and I stumbled across this incredible place! It has a gym, pool, hot tub and sauna(currently closed) it’s so awesome to pay a reasonable drop in ????❤️ I love coming here. The staff members are nice ???? definitely check this spot out if you’re passing through CR!

Julie Olsen

The perfect basic pool. This pool has everything a pool needs to make it functional. It isn't the fanciest pool I've ever visited, but it has never disappointed me even slightly.

Sandy Partyka

Great time swimming with my grandchild today. Hardly anyone in the pool when we went (2 pm). Everything was clean, lots of hot water for showers & staff helpful & pleasant. BTW, never seen this before - wheelchair ramp into hot tub & really shallow pool water area (2') for small children.

Phillip Winspear

Great customer service and decent amenities, could use a deeper deep end tho ????

Kyle Hudson

Just a fun family place to swim And skate.

Miranda

I love ittttt here but they take forever to turn on the water park for the kids. The waves get a lil rough against the walls so be careful of that. I find it to be rather expensive compared to Campbell River and Comox. 3$ compared to 7.50$. They need to do some upgrading to their lil boat area, there's pieces missing and chipped.

Kathleen Mitchell

pamela hyson

I go swimming ????‍♂️there now weekdays Some evenings I have a membership

Jonathan Takach

Ice is nice, but change rooms for hockey teams are pretty small

Tudor Davies

I drive here from Comox to use the pool, and it's the biggest on the north island. Olympic-sized main pool, a pretty big kids splash pool, a hot tub and a spiral waterslide that's often open during kids swims. The main pool has a bulkhead dividing the shallow end from the rest, providing 25m lanes for swimming lengths while other activities run in the shallow end. There's kayak rolling practice in the shallow end on Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8 pm, which makes it worth the drive up there for me.

Will Emery

Always fun

Jeremy Hannaford
