    Went here for the Covid testing center. It was kinda difficult to find the designated entrance. It was at the back of the building to the right of the arena entrance. There was a white door with a sign. I booked an appointment earlier that day. A few screening and verification questions at the reception. Then they direct you to a "room", which is more like a cubicle. I was pretty much in and out in less than 10mins.

    It's an awesome place for sports and recreational facilities. Should be place of pride for Pickering Today what I was impressed was the way they are organizing sports and fun activities for 55+ guys and dance 🕺 etc for dance and cultural enthusiasts....by 7 AM one sees over 100 cars parked and steady stream of visitors.....

    Very friendly staff. Large pool. Lots of locker rooms. The toddler pool is very limited - other nearby rec centres are much better for toddler pools. Great day care facility and staff! Lots of cardio equipment in the gyms. Decent mix of exercise equipment split into two areas. Arena at the back with 2 pads and some party rooms. Go lightning!

    We came here for our vacations. Everything was organized so well, and they even had someone open the doors, so you didn't have to touch it. Well done!

    Great classes, excellent instructors. Donna's classes are amazing as well as Nicky on Sat. If you want to sweat and feel like you worked your body...go to the classes. Then stretch out with Yoga classes with Tina. The Best!!

    This place is dope. It looks so good after the renovations. It has so many classes for fitness, a weight room, swimming, squash, and even indoor tennis. The staff are friendly and I prefer this over a good life fitness membership.

    An excellent place to work out and get in shape. 50 meter pool, kiddies pool, diving board, dry and wet sauna, great whirlpool, cardio room, weight room, running track, programs for everyone. Very reasonable membership fees. Can't say enough good about this place. But one slight problem; showers are good temp. but too low-pressure.

    Nice to see the Pickering Rex Centre filled with families again for Saturday morning swimming lessons. More seating in the observation area would be nice. Lots of Moms with little ones left standing while guys sat on the benches looking at their phones.

  • 3/5 My E. 3 months ago on Google • 85 reviews New
    Best recreational place in east Toronto. Well organized with full facilities. However, Reception staff needs to be more efficient. Lack of Training and organizing issues. Parking is another issue especially in winter time.

  • 4/5 Souvik G. 8 months ago on Google • 67 reviews
    Great place to go and learn swimming or for a workout. The lockers in the universal change room are buggy ao it’s preferable to carry your own lock.

  • 5/5 Sara F. 7 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Thank you Angela. You are great. Alex the swimming instructor is very professional. We felt very comfortable taking swimming class with him.

    Very nice facility in general, BUT!!! When I went to the men's washroom on the balcony of the ice arena, the stench of urine had me dry heaving. It was so bad that I almost didn't make it out without vomiting. I was told by the custodian that the urinals didn't have the ability to flush. Use the individual restrooms!!

    All of the events are scheduled during the day so only seniors can go. If you are working, you would have to take a day off from work if you wanted to participate in anything.

  • 5/5 Finley F. 5 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    After the upgrades a couple years ago the rec centre looks and is amazing. Pool is big with lots of stuff to use during public swims. Delaney (Hockey rink there) is amazing and feels professional.

  • 4/5 Emily B. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice facility for swimming lessons. The universal change room and pool deck get a bit chaotic between lessons. Kinda gross that people are wearing street shoes and boots on the deck. Definitely bring flip-flops! The toddler pool is nice and warm!

  • 5/5 D M. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for swimming, there's an entrance fee for public swim. The pool is a good size,not crowded, diving area with deep water, shallow pool for toddlers. Main pool water is deep, therefore guards strict for parents observing their kids, some rules are ridiculous but the general experience was positive.

  • 5/5 Louis B. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean, well lit, great for the children's activities. Pool is well maintained and swim team practice are well run.

    Went in to take a look at a room we want to rent. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to answer all our questions.

  • 5/5 Shazeela I. 9 months ago on Google
    Will always have be a special place for me as I lived in Pickering for a number of years and took my growing daughter to many activities at the Rec Center.

  • 5/5 David P. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here to play hockey the other day. There was no ice so my skates were ruined. The other players were obviously beginners since they brought chairs to assist them, but forgot the rest of their equipment. Their defence was atrocious as well I don't think anyone got within six feet of me all game.

    We went for public skating and there was a tournament going on. There was nothing on the website about this. Two weekends in a row now.

    Chestnut Hill Development Recreation Complex is your go to place for gym, sports activities througout the year. They also had Covid center setup for vaccination purpose during pandemic period and served the community well. Checkout their website to learn about new courses to enroll and get some activities for yourself and your family.

  • 5/5 Allan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for recreation and fitness. Includes gym, swimming pool, indoor tennis court. They have regular classes for different ages, check details on their website and book in advance.

  • 5/5 vj p. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place for going into the swimming pool ,many kids related activities going on. All are available at the front desk, make sure if you park at back of the centre you have to walk a lot to come to the front desk, better drop everyone off in front and one can park at back,because it becomes full in front amd its a small place.

  • 5/5 Hailey M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for swimming lessons with my daughter. The facilities were clean and the swim instructor was amazing. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 david k. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym! Really reasonably priced. It even has a steam room in addition to a sauna and whirlpool. (Under whirlpool sauna and steam room mtce as of sep 6 2022, but I'm sure it will open up soon)

  • 5/5 Matt S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great facility with many opportunities on site. You can try lane swimming, take your young children swimming, skate, play hockey, work out and a pile more activities. Prices and fees are reasonable and all of the equipment is kept in great shape.

  • 4/5 Navita Yoomadevi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome spot for classes of all kinds. Now that covid is almost normalized, they can bring back a lot of their programs they didn't have before! The renovations are amazing and it's now a place you want to be at for hours (if I had more free time!)

  • 4/5 Shafi S. 2 years ago on Google
    The changing room could be better, other than that very good!

  • 4/5 Katelyn K. 2 years ago on Google

👍👍 I first learned about Zumba at a charity event that I went to almost 4 years ago. So I told a friend of mine that we had to try it and asked her to help me find a Zumba class in Pickering. She heard about Linda from a friend and told me about her classes and I was hooked from day one. I was so nervo...
