Eastlink Centre

I love this place but I'm incredibly disappointed in the calling service. I have a simple question which would take 2 seconds, such as a very short call to see if the pool is open due to smoke it was closed the day before and I didnt wanna waste my time going there and being disappointed again. You dont actually get to talk to the staff at the front desk when you call eastlink centers posted number. So I wasted my time listening trying to call. Im going in person and will probably be turned away using more of my time and resources. I understand the natural disaster being a reason for the pools closure. I just would have liked a person on site to answer my quick question. It's not optimal to deal with an automated system that is the city of grande prairie and all its facilities. I called the eastlink center not the city, and I was blocked from accessing the information I wanted.Making me take action to go in person.

Great place for some family/solo fun. Fair prices on their monthly memberships. The swimming pool is fantastic. We enjoyed just walking around the place. I asked about accessibility for storing of walkers while using the pool and they seemed very accommodating. They mentioned storing it behind the front desk to prevent stealing.

The shallow water aerobics is held in the 25 meter pool. The 25 meter pool is where all the swimming lessons are. That pool is always closed due to contaminants. Fecal matter. It takes about a week to get the pool up and going again. So those that want to do the shallow water aerobics miss out. That's not right. When this happens they opt to have the water aerobics in the lazy river. The lazy river is way too congested for the amount of people in the water aerobics class, there are also other patrons in there making it more congested. The water level is not deep enough. Also the current is not conducive to water aerobics. If I wanted to do the lazy river class that's the one I'd go to. It is not.This time the 25 meter pool is closed until April 16 for maintenance. Do we get compensation? No. Some part of the facility is always closed. Too bad there is not another pool to go to. What a joke.

The Eastlink Center has a good variety of amenities but it seems geared towards older kids (schools right by it), as well as families with older kids, or just individuals on their own. It is NOT the greatest facility if you have a small infant or baby, unless you like to and are merely looking to walk the track. Breastfeeding seems to be hit or miss if allowed in certain areas and you will be confronted by staff. They will not do anything to make you feel more comfortable with this or for doing what you need to take care of your baby. There is also limited baby change tables, so the wait can be a bit. You cannot change a diaper outside of the bathroom, even if on your own change mat, as it will be reported and complaints will be made. The washrooms tend to smell foul as they don't change the designated diaper bins often. When we brought complaints forward to the staff about comments made towards us or issues occuring, things were just brushed under the table and then soon after they would notify about a policy change via the baby and me class instructor. The policies seemed to be changing all the time with no real care for moms with new babies. The baby and me class Victoria runs is great, only draw back unfortunately is it is only 3 times a week. Victoria is amazing and is the only staff member who seems to care about the mom's. Outside of this class time slot you cannot workout with your baby, even if they are in a stroller. All equipment or workout areas minus the walking track are for ages 13+. They have nothing to offer mums with babies throughout the summer months.

This place has all you wanted to keep an active child busy. The slides open at 4pm onwards.

Great place as a water park. Great place as a gym. All in all great place

The monthly membership allows unlimited access to all facilities and my most favorite to access is the swimming pool.I do wish the Flo Wave Rider was open more hours because I've only been there once while it was open and only watched as I was too scared to try it but now I want to try it and it's never open when I'm there.The slides are especially fun tho especially the tube slide .

Went to the pool. Great place for the whole family. Although it’s busy there, the wait times are short and lots of room. Clean change rooms, and the whole building is pretty cool to walk through.

The Flo Rider has literally gone down only 6 hours a week which is sad cuz I used to ride at 6 hours Saturday. It's alone but other than that the facilities are nice shape. They're keeping the staff young. I guess you could say and the place is pretty clean

It's the only true rec. centre in Grande Prairie. Definitely, it's the only indoor pool. It has everything, but is joined to a high school and many students roam the halls with little to no supervision. That issue really needs attention.
