Cardel Place

We went to Cardel Place today.  This center is a great place for a number of different activities.  We went for Gym days.  This is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 12pm.  It costs $5.50/child, unless they are not walking.  The gym (which is across from the pool), is divided in half and set up with physical activity toys.  There are balls, hula hoops, a small slide, small climber, pylons, large mat area and a parachute. On Thursdays they set up a very large jumper with a slide.  It is a great place for kids to run, when they can’t outside.

Aside from that, there are also other services there as well.  The Calgary Public Library has a branch set up there, a climbing wall, skating, Jugo Juice, childminding, exercise room and of course the swimming pool.

We have taken advantage of the pool, and the kids love it.  There are different areas of the pool; tots pool, hot tub, main pool, deep end and shallow ends are divided and a lazy river.  There is a slide into the pool, but it is fairly small.  Cardel offers swimming lessons, as well as a Parent and Tot time on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm ($5/child, parents are free).

My nephews play hockey at Cardel, and my niece takes figure skating there, my brother in law has a gym membership, and another nephew took a martial arts class there.  There is something for everyone.  We seem to be at Cardel Place a lot, especially in the winter months, when it is colder, so you are wanting to spend less time outside.
