What makes it 76% Baby-Friendly: Stroller-friendly ramps, family change rooms and a warm wading pool welcome babies, but there is no permanent nursing room and few parent-tot classes, so parents must plan self-care breaks.
Why 1.5-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: This gives time for pool play, a stroller walk and a café break without rushing.
Children’s wading pool:
Shallow beach-entry pool perfect for parent-and-baby splash time.
Tip: Bring swim diapers and a small float; babies under 2 swim free; adult pool admission applies.
Outdoor stroller walk:
3 km paved trail behind the Sportsplex for a smooth stroller outing.
Tip: Use a weather-appropriate cover; aim for morning hours for quieter paths.
Foyer Gallery visit:
Glass-walled gallery with rotating art exhibits, welcoming to babies.
Tip: Go midweek or early afternoon to avoid crowds; fold stroller easily to pass between exhibits.
Family change rooms:
Private barrier-free rooms with changing tables and a bench.
Tip: Use these for quick diaper changes; no extra cost beyond facility entry.
Maple Café break:
On-site café with snacks, hot drinks and free Wi-Fi.
Tip: Grab a latte while baby naps in the stroller; both card and cash accepted.

me and husband Jeremiah Paulson got married here. wonderful place. not only were the maggots delicious, but the mold added a beautiful decoration to the venue. had two guests, the rats. loved them. My husband loved drinking the pool water too! It was a nice bonus to the amazing sound of lockers closing and kids shouting!

We came here for swimming, very clean and vast infrastructure, less crowded than other swimming pools around Nepean, good for change. Recommended, there are other options to try out here such as fitness center and other sports facilities.

The Sportsplex is a multiuser space that I really enjoy. I play hockey there weekly and find the facilities to be high quality and service to be excellent by the staff. Rinks are well maintained and good quality. Dressing rooms are also good. Of the three rinks, dressing rooms vary in their positives and negatives. But the staff keep them clean and maintain the ice well. The pool is Olympic leve...

I came to this place to do swimming, the facility is very clean, the bathrooms and change rooms do not smell bad compared to Walter Baker or Minto Recreation Complex. There were many people at the pools, practicing water polo, diving, and swimming. The costumer service is also very well, and the people who work here are all nice. Overall, this place is a very nice place to go swimming and do oth...
In winter, clear stroller paths may be icy—consider stroller snow wheels. In summer, pack sunscreen and a sun hat for the outdoor trail and café patio.
