Very poorly ran facility in terms of cleanliness, especially the family swimming change rooms. Grime has been built up that can be easily wiped, fruit flies in the showers, urinal screens were placed everywhere to help with the smell, and all changing tables were removed which makes changing babies/toddlers extremely difficult. Absolutely disgusting.

VIVO is the worst indoor basketball court I know. The court is slippery and poorly maintained.

I give it the worst possible review; I would not recommend it to anyone and advise against playing basketball there!

No other Calgary leisure centre does ...

Then a bunch of kids came onto the ice with th...
