Marpole Oakridge Community Centre

Marpole Oakridge Community Centre is a well-used local spot that balances recreation and community programming. The fitness centre is compact but functional, and the sauna and whirlpool are a nice bonus. There’s a good mix of classes—from martial arts to music—and the staff are generally friendly and responsive. Being next to Oak Park adds a green escape right outside the door. On the downside, the building feels a bit dated, and some areas—like the racquetball court—don’t always get the attention they deserve. Weekend hours are limited, and it can feel a bit quiet compared to larger centres. Still, it’s a dependable place for locals, especially families and older adults. If you’re nearby, it’s worth checking out for low-key fitness or community vibes.

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!

Its okey for the functionality but its a old place no renovations, park its old the bathroom same thing the rooftop looks like its going to fall down but still funtional outside, inside the building it looks fine but the city need to improve more renovations i think we pay a lot of taxes and i dont see no happening, they have a area where they can grow veggies but its abandon

Last week, when the garbage truck came to collect the trash, for some unknown reason, it also took away our yellow paper recycling bag. I checked with ChatGPT and found out that I could get a new yellow recycling bag for free at the Community Centre, so I came here. Since my English is not very good, I used a translation app to explain the situation to the front desk staff and to express that I wanted to get a yellow recycling bag. Apparently, I couldn’t get the yellow recycling bag directly here, but the front desk staff was very warm and attentive, and they kindly helped me by providing contact information such as a phone number and email. Thank you very much for your help!

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.

A great community hub with plenty of activities for all ages. The gym and sports facilities are well-maintained, and the staff is always welcoming. Vapester Smoke Shop is conveniently located nearby, and our employees often visit during their break to stay active and refreshed

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.

I love the amount of geese droppings on their outdoor court. 5/5 experience every time.

Really old and it is like a dungeon. City needs to invest in this CC and put some racquetball and squash courts back into the city.

The equipment is old last time I was there and the location isn't convenient for majority of residents of south Marpole, where the majority of Marpole residents live. Vancouver Park board, build another community center in south Marpole please, we are dying here.

This is my local community centre but it's the gym I use the most. There's a beautiful park that is used for baseball, soccer games and there's tennis courts, too. The children's playground and water park is always busy. When there's no sports on the field, the park is great for sprawling out and getting a nice tan; nice hidden gem imo. I haven't used the courts inside the centre but it always seems busy for various excercise classes, dance lessons, basketball, hockey, badminton etc. The gym itself is ok. There's a decent amount of cardio machines in a separate room but ventilation can be an issue. Kudos for using the clipboard system for signing up!!! The weights area is ok and on the smallish side but it does the job. This community centre needs to be renovated due to it's age and physical condition.
