What makes it 81% Couple-Friendly: Couples can share the wave pool, twin slides, hot tub, steam room, and a squash court under one pass, then grab food at the café. The many families on weekends reduce quiet, romantic feel.
Why 2–3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Allows time for wave pool, hot tub, climbing wall and a quick skate or class without rushing.
Wave Pool & Water Slides:
Experience the 225 000-gallon wave pool with 10 min on/12 min off cycles and two main slides (178 ft blue, 212 ft orange).
Tip: Check the wave schedule on arrival and plan slides during the next active cycle.
Hot Tub & Steam Room:
Unwind side by side in the hot tub and steam room adjacent to the pool deck.
Tip: Bring a water bottle and towel to stay hydrated and comfortable in the steam room.
Rock Climbing Wall:
Tackle the 32 ft overhang or try bouldering on the 12 ft wall with free belay orientations.
Tip: Arrive early on weekends to secure a spot in the drop-in climbing session.
Drop-in Fitness Classes:
Join yoga, Zumba or aquafit classes included with admission.
Tip: Show up 10 minutes early to claim mats and avoid waiting lists.
Public Skating:
Lace up for open skate sessions at Joe Kryczka Arena; rentals available at Customer Service.
Tip: Call ahead to confirm skate sizes or bring your own blades for best fit.

Southland Leisure Centre is a strong, multi-functional rec facility that does very well when it comes to variety and family-friendliness.

Very nice pool — everything is clean and well maintained. The slides work perfectly without any issues. The staff and lifeguards are polite and attentive. We really enjoyed it and have already visited several times this week!

Amazing pool fun waves, fun slides and best of all a good dive tank. Lifeguards are super chill and won't call you out unless your risking the safety of someone else, I recommend for groups of people because there is so much to do. If you have a ball bring it, so much room to play and not very many obstacles.

Great facility with splash park, wave pool, hot tub, sauna and kiddie pool. Fitness classes, gymnastics, rock climbing wall, skating rink, squash courts, and a top notch gym with the best equipment in the entire city. Physio and massage therapy available on the second floor. Avoid weekends if you can as it can get super crowded with family swim but the gym was quiet today. Nice and clean and p...
