| Terwillegar Rec Centre |
Over the Christmas Holidays the kids and I tried to go swimming at as many pools as possible. The Edmonton area is home to a lot of new fun pools, one of the closest to us is the city run
Terwillegar Community Rec Centre. This is a very good facility, although a little pricey ($23 for 2 kids and an adult). In addition to a pool it also has full workout facilities, a large indoor track, gymnasiums, a great playground for kids under 10 (best for under 7 probably) and many multi purpose rooms. And a second cup and DQ/Orange Julius to boot. The kids love it, and like all of the new city facilities it is bright with well used natural lighting.
The pool features:
- river ride - pretty fast current, keeps the kids entertained for hours
- wave pool - also lots of fun
- baby pool - the kids are getting too old to go here, but it is a nice shallow warm pool with lots of toys
- water slide - kids can't go on when there are two kids and only one adult, but it is pretty fun too
- steam room - can't go to with the kids but it is nice
- hot tub - fairly large, you can watch people diving from it which the kids like
- large pool - there is a 50 m lane swim which can be (and usually is) broken up into several smaller pools, there is also a very high diving board and several smaller ones
