Marpole Oakridge Community Centre

The replacement building is just across the park and will be open sometime in 2027. The only reason this venerable building loses one star is because I could not locate an elevator to get down to the weight room. Congratulations to the construction team by the way. I have never seen such rapid construction for the city of Vancouver ever before.

Our daughter, her sister and husband held a baby shower in a spacious room at the Marpole Oakridge Community Centre. It was the perfect venue. Everyone had a great time!

You can find everything would would expect in a community centre. There are lots of programs for children, as well as adults. Outside, there is a children's playground, hockey court, basketball court, baseball diamond, and tennis courts, as well as plenty of green space for romping around. As of July 22, 2020, it is closed due to COVID-19.

I study Iaido with Inoue Sensei at this community centre. The facility itself is a bit older, but the class content is excellent, the instructor has vast knowledge and a lifetime of experience. Would strongly recommend iaido for anyone who has ever wanted to learn Japanese sword arts.

pretty good place only thing is there washroom down stair is not very good it looks like nobody ever cleans it. it smells every time you go in there. it's every day.

One of the worst childhood experiences and memories are of this community center where I went to summer day camp. Camp leaders were verbally abusive and disrespectful of select children there that they couldn’t control (it’s not that kid’s fault he simply had a disability) and not only did it set a bad example for the rest of us but it also affected our enjoyment of our day camp trips. There should be a mandatory requirement that they have finished at least ECE or it’s equivalent before being allowed to be hired to host day camps. The staff were simply “legal adults” and nothing else. Immature themselves still and if I can recall this 25+ years later… it’s really sad that every summer parents send their kids off to complete strangers for care so they can work.

It's decent for an old center. Still have a lot of programs for various ages.

I went there for a community repair cafe event. I find the center clean and everyone was friendly.
