    This is a very nice facility, the best one with a pool in the whole area. Very spacious, plenty of seats in the viewing area for spectators. There is a snack bar with drinks and some food on site. Plus you can walk around inside the facility to get a bit of exercise when waiting for athletes to perform their sports. Overflow parking area could use some gravel, at least, as it gets dirty when wet outside.

    An amazing venue - if not the best for volleyball tournaments in the GTA. The courts are well-maintained and the space is just about perfect. Props to the maintenance staff for keeping this place so well-managed. Always a pleasure to step onto the court here to play.

    Large place for sporting events. They have a good cafe that offers lots of healthy and/or filling snacks, gym and Olympic-sized pool. Very clean and well-kept too. Close to GO station and other bus stops.

    Huge building with many areas for sports. Great place for swimmers with large pools. Popular location for competitions and team sports. I liked the modern interior design.

    The pool facility is great but the swim clubs, and public swimmers are very inconsiderate of each other. Clubs, swim meets, and public lane swimmers do not shower before they enter the pool. To those that do shower before they enter the pool, THANK YOU for being considerate to others that share the pool with you. The rules are written in the change room that say " you must shower before entering the pool" are not enforced. Lifeguards rather chat with each other, staff ignore patrons, and management just adds chlorine and acid to shock the pull till my skin burns. Just takes a rinse to wash off your butt sweat. Thanks, Citizen of Markham

  • 5/5 Rich N. 10 months ago on Google
    Was here working security for Grandmaster Tommy Chang's Taekwondo Tournament. 2 weeks ago. Great experience and got to witness live TKD action. Facilities were kept very clean and organized. Even with hundreds of people moving around (coaches, athletes, parents, spectators) there was never chaos or panic.

    Beautiful facility. Gorgeous swimming pool. It's so generous to city to let people use for swimming lessons and some free swimming.

  • 3/5 Denis R. 5 years ago on Google
    Best would be to have 2 scores - for inside and for outside. Inside- 5, outside 1. See photos. For any event you can get normal parking and forced to used dirt area. There you get either dust or mud or swamp. Can't believe such great facility does not have enough of proper parking. Its been 5 years!

    We’ve gone here a few times now for swim meets and it is a fantastic facility. Ample free parking, good coffee and snacks plus stadium seating makes this my favourite meet location so far.

  • 4/5 Michael S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great facilities, outstanding pool and gym. Much bigger than it looks from the outside. Though, parking is a huge concern if there is an event. You have to find an alternative if the small parking lot is full. Also, construction around the building doesn't help either.

  • 5/5 Karen G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice complex.

  • 5/5 nad f. 4 months ago on Google
    A good facility with free parking and internet. Could could use more seating options and more accessibility when they have larger venues. The staff, front desk, manager and security were all lovely and helpful.

  • 5/5 G c. 1 year ago on Google
    Glad to come back to the pool! Nice staff, clean water and great swimmers! See you next week! 🏊🏊‍♀️

  • 5/5 Averie m. 3 years ago on Google
    Staff were super well protected, everyone was observing social distancing. Facility was clean, pool ran very smoothly overall.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful facility. Clean and well maintained for all athletes and patrons using it. Parking was packed for the weekend that I came but there was a swim meet there. Overflow parking was available across the street

  • 5/5 Marc C. 1 year ago on Google
    11/10 facility, staff helpful, venue incredible, parking sometimes an issue which is why I couldn't give it 12/10 - if I had to park 10 minutes down the road and walk I'd do it every time - far and away the best venue my community has had the pleasure of making use of.

  • 5/5 Zahid L. 1 year ago on Google
    This facility opened in November 2014 for the 2015 PanAm and Para PanAm games, boasts a world class swimming pool, badminton and volleyball courts, a fitness center and various other facilities for hosting meetings, etc.

    Great sports complex, wonderful staff with a warm and welcoming environment. Plenty of free parking both for visitors and patrons. Highly recommended using the facility for all your health and fitness needs!

  • 5/5 Terence L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean and spacious site. Ample parking and clear signage to help navigate through the facility.

  • 5/5 Richard M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice. Amazing washroom facilities, beautiful basketball courts and nice Olympic size pool

  • 4/5 Sonia J. 4 months ago on Google
    Large place. We attended a jujitsu tournament. The place serves some food. It's a very busy place. Very spacious and clean. Lots of seats to sit and enjoy the games

  • 5/5 Richard D. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing facilities with the capacity to run multiple athletic events simultaneously. Clean changing rooms and bathrooms and a decent on-site cafe shop with snacks and sandwiches and other quick eats. Volleyball courts are spacious and clean making it enjoyable to play there anytime!

  • 4/5 Becky A. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice place. Officiated for a swim meet. Lots of room to sit as an official. The stands seem as little small but maybe not as much volume depending on meet. could benefit from more accessible seating. Lots of accessible parking and there is a spill over lot as well. It fills up fast with a 4 hour maximum parking allowance. Compared to Toronto Pan Am the pool seems smaller and so is the space to spectate.

  • 5/5 Elina 1 year ago on Google
    Top-notch facilities for basically any sport. Management is great and the staff are very nice.

  • 2/5 Justin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Facility. Awful planning, nowhere near enough parking and/or public transit to accomodate for the use of the facility at full or close to full capacity. The Town/City needs to ensure there are more parking allowance in the area. Even pay parking would be acceptable. But inadequate parking in the suburbs is inexcusable.

  • 5/5 Michael T. 3 months ago on Google New
    Beautiful! Now, we know why Toronto is always ahead of the game: 1) They have the money to invest in building such a beautiful sports center. 2) They have the people to support and develop new programs for their citizens and young athletes. We are missing good leaders in Montreal, QC! Instead, we invested in slowing down driving at 40km/h, from three to only one car lane and spending Billion $$$ on a non-functional transportation system such as the new REM. If you are looking to improve your life and for a better future for your kids, it's time to plan to live in Toronto, where everything is possible like New York City without leaving Canada.

  • 5/5 ASHLEY C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome facility. Swimming, badminton, gymnasium and a bunch of other sports.

  • 5/5 Sophia L. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite swimming pools. Water clean. Staff friendly, temperature prefect and shower room is very clean . I go there almost four to five time per week.

  • 3/5 K P. 5 months ago on Google
    Has an Olympic sized pool, and is big but it feels small. Pool is deep all throughout. Change rooms are small compared to other Olympic sized pools I've got to. In the change room all the showers are separated.

  • 5/5 Steven S. 1 year ago on Google
    Well maintained after games came and gone. Large clean courts and pool. Spacious activities rooms. Washrooms are clean and tidy as well.

  • 5/5 Art M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great facilities. We attended a national five day artistic swimming qualifier. The pool was excellent and the seating gave us excellent views. Good parking.

  • 5/5 Louis B. 11 months ago on Google
    Great facilities. Lots of deck space for the swim meet. Locker room could be cleaner. Prefer Toronto Pan Am Center on McCowen.

  • 5/5 Peter E. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a really nice time watching sync swimming here. There was a cafeteria and vending machines for drinks. Plenty of seating, and it was quite warm, no need for a sweater.

  • 4/5 Andrew B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great pool & gallery, lots of free parking, but OMG the cafeteria is staffed by 1 slow person and lines regularly exceed 20 min.

  • 5/5 Phyllis K. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing place and they are doing everything to keep us safe while we work out. Awsome

  • 5/5 Katelin R. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice selection of types of sports you can play. Although I haven't explored much inside (as I'm a swimmer and reside in the pool), it's not the place to go for ice skating. It's definitely well kept though, haven't seen much trash laying around.

  • 4/5 Aaron H. 3 years ago on Google
    All Good except it's shower is so weak, but it doesn't matter anymore, change will be close as long as Covid alive

  • 1/5 Tassadar638 3 years ago on Google
    2 hr limited parking. They're also very busy for a place that should be restricted.

    Great Service but need to some improve

  • 4/5 Jocelyn A. 3 years ago on Google
    This center is gorgeous and has very few people using its facilities. However, it is not considered a community center so the hours are much shorter than all the other Markham sites. As well, the fitness center has an odd two level construction that makes it feel pokey. The building lacks a clear vision of purpose, and so, it doesn't fill any of the needs it was designed for particularly well. It is not within walking distance of homes and you will have to drive or transit. There is a basketball court, a pool, and other facilities.

  • 1/5 issuesnotresolved t. 4 years ago on Google
    Pretty nasty, they just had a event at the pool with over 1000+ swimmers. No body made the effort of taking a shower, or life guards asking people to take a shower before they enter the pool. It was wrenching watching everyone swim in their own filth. yuck! call your local health inspector.

👍 I had a great experience at Thornhill Community Center. The facilities are excellent, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The only downside is that there's often a waiting list to access some of the services. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars.
