Saanich Commonwealth Place

Had a great tour of this beautiful facility with Jonathan and signed my family up immediately thereafter. 2 level gym, yoga studio, spin class, swimmimg pool, indoor basketball court, skating rinks and a game room. What more could you ask for?

Very friendly here. There are also libraries, gyms, and swimming pools. Children can also learn to swim here.

It's unbelievable that the only pool in Victoria that's fun for kids with waves, waterslide, and diving boards has not been available for public use in over a month. It's ridiculous that we don't have another option except for YMCA and their unaffordable memberships. We have been having to drive to Duncan or Nanaimo to have a fun public swim. How is it that the biggest city on the island has no fun swims especially during the fall and winter months. Also change rooms can be very dirty. I would definitely give a better rating is you were open to the public every weekend as it is a fun pool for kids

Amazing for kids, you can go to the toddler gym class with tonnes of toys and lots of room to play, then swim afterwards in the toddler pool that's super warm and more toys to play with, all for only $6!

Just experienced Commonwealth Place for the first time. The swimming area is the best I’ve ever visited. All the staff were friendly and helpful and patiently answered my questions. They had no problem with me using my cane around the pool deck and I was able to find places to lay it down while I swam that weren’t too far from the stairs into the pool. I will definitely be back.

Great pool! I love how many pools they have! The wave pool was especially fun. I love to go to the dry saunas and make conversation and the wet saunas to relax! The hot tubs are extra warm(not too hot)! Easily the best pool on the island

No service, no refund - My son did not even attend a full day of their Summer Camp in August, he became traumatized midday after witnessing someone attending the camp intentionally kill a lizard, then several children laughed, the whole time a camp leader standing right next to the person, the leader did nothing to address the disgusting behaviour.I had to leave work to pick my son up early, it ruined our day and week, he attended no other day, and given all of that... they repeatedly refused to provide one cent of a refund. Makes me sick to my stomach that they will take $350.00 from a single parent household then provide nothing but trauma and stress then show no responsibility for their role in the incident.I’ve stopped sending my kids here. Don’t want them to have to deal with the stress or similar incidents ever again.

Good recreation center with swimming pool. Enjoy your leisure time at an affordable price.

Great pools. Currently (June 2021) doing pre-registered length swimming, one person per lane. Pleasant, helpful staff.
