Delbrook Community Recreation Centre — Attraction in District of North Vancouver

Review of Delbrook Community Recreation Centre:

I recently became a member of the Delbrook Community Recreation Centre, and I must say, my first experience was nothing short of fantastic! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere, which immediately set the tone for the rest of my visit.

My first stop was the gym, and I was impressed with the range of equipment available. Whether you're into cardio, weightlifting, or just looking to stay active, they've got you covered. I spent a good amount of time working out and found the facilities to be well-maintained and clean, which is always a plus.

After a satisfying gym session, I headed over to the pool. I must admit that there was a bit of a rush and a lineup for the public pool at 7:30 pm, but once inside, the experience was totally worth it. The pool itself was spacious and well-maintained, providing the perfect setting for a refreshing swim. I managed to complete 12 lengths of the swimming pool, which was an excellent workout.

One of the highlights of the visit was the hot tub. After my swim, I decided to relax and unwind in the hot tub, and it did not disappoint. It was a perfect way to soothe my muscles and get refreshed after a good workout.

What impressed me most about Delbrook Community Recreation Centre is the variety of activities it offers. Apart from the gym and pool, there are also options for basketball, table tennis, squash, karate, and many other activities. It's a great place to explore various interests and keep yourself engaged in a fun and healthy way.

Another significant advantage of being a member here is the reciprocity with other centers in North Vancouver. Having access to other facilities in the area adds a lot of value to the membership and encourages me to try out different places while staying active.

The only minor downside was the rush and line up for the public pool, but with so many other amenities and activities available, it was easy to keep myself occupied until the pool was less crowded.

Overall, I highly recommend the Delbrook Community Recreation Centre. Whether you're looking for a good workout, a relaxing swim, or a chance to explore various recreational activities, this center has it all. The friendly staff, clean facilities, and the option to use other centers in the area make it an excellent choice for fitness enthusiasts and anyone seeking an...

Senior assaulted by NVRC staff member.

I had a traumatic experience this morning which started when I entered the steam room at Delbrook Rec Centre. Immediately upon entering I was shocked by extreme heat and steam to the point of suffocation. An off-duty staff member, whom I recognized, was the only occupant and I realized he had deliberately covered the sensor with his wet towel - despite signs warning against this. Upon my entrance and without me saying a word he aggressively snatched his towel off the sensor and acted as if this was his own personal home steam room that nobody else had the right to enter.

As the heat in the room was unbearable and above the rec centers own recommended setting, I opened the door for a moment to let some of the heat escape in order to make it a more safe and tolerable temperature. He immediately began swearing and shouting at me to shut the door in a very hostile manner. I explained to him its too hot in here and I cannot breathe until I let some of the extra heat out. He aggressively got up and marched towards me in a threatening way whilst still swearing and shouting. He then pushed and shoved me and then finally pushed through me and left the room.

At that moment I placed my hand on his shoulder to tell him he can’t assault me like this and just walk away. He suddenly started screaming and yelling at patrons nearby asking if they saw me push him! He was screaming at the top of his voice and yelling that I had assaulted him and he was immediately looking for witnesses.

Astoundingly, other staff members stood by and supported their incompetent and hostile colleague as he continued swearing and acting and then proceeded to call the police on me.

When the police arrived they spoke to both of us separately and said they would not get involved as clearly I had not done anything. However, the pool supervisor, Kevin and his colleague both told me I had to immediately leave the premises and could not return until further notice.

What type of organization (and people) allow their employees to verbally and physically assault seniors, then call the police on them and then ban them from the facility?

SHAME ON YOU North Vancouver...

The facility is OK since it's pretty new, however, it's the people who work there that bring this place way down.

First off, the front desk staff must be hired for their excellence in being grumpy. They hardly every smile, give you a hard time if you ask for anything, and seem basically disinterested in any concern you have.

Next, the staff in the fitness room, with the exception of the two women who works the afternoon shift, are pretty much freeloaders. MUSIC: They play their terrible music really loudly, even when it's supposed to be "no music from 1 - 3". If you love loud Lynard Skinard, then you might like the music, but it's usually so loud you can't use your own ear buds since the music drills right through. LAZY: About half of the fitness room staff just sit in the office on and leave the gym to remain a mess. Gym users leave the machines full of weights or leave all the hardware at the pully machines once they're done. One guy on the weekends literally sits in the office chatting with guys, then walks around with his pumped arms and helps nobody and does nothing to keep the place organized. NOT HELPFUL: I imagine the NVRC would hire people in the gym to help new users but they just walk by as those just trying to get fit but making mistakes. Yesterday, my friend helped someone out themselves since the staff was busy yakking instead of showing a proper motion on a machine.

Finally, there are signs everywhere warning of thieves but the lockers in the change room need a token. So you need to get dressed again and go up to get a token. I think if criminals are allowed to roam the building, they NVRC should supply free tokens to users so they can secure your belongings while showering or using the pool.

In sum, nice building, shame...
