Mount Royal Recreation

We are excited to announce that our track-level flooring and triple gym bleachers will be replaced this summer! These updates are important for us to be able to provide a safe environment and enhance the customer experience for all of our facility users. This page was last updated on September 3, 2025.
 
What areas of the facility are affected?
The track level floor and Triple Gym will be closed for the duration of the project.
 
What areas of the facility will remain open?
The fitness center, multipurpose rooms, squash courts, climbing wall, Stanley Gym and pool will remain open throughout the construction.
 
When will the track and triple gym be closed for the project?
The Triple Gym will close on Thursday, June 5, and the track level will close on Monday, June 9. 
 
What can I expect when the project is completed?
We anticipate reopening these spaces on Monday, September 15.
 
Why is this project happening now?
As our facility ages, upgrades are important for user safety. We have chosen the present timeline for the closure and project completion based on historical data that demonstrates fewer facility users in these months. 
 
What is happening to my membership during this time?
If you primarily use the track or Triple Gym, we will gladly suspend and extend your membership for the length of the closure. Please note that you will not be able to access other areas of the Recreation Centre while your membership is suspended. To notify us of your suspend and extend request, please complete this form. Upon completion of the form, one of our Customer Service Team Members will contact you within 10 business days. Your membership will automatically restart the day the facility reopens.

Will I have access to equipment from the track level during the renovation?
We know how important it is to maintain your fitness routine, so we’re relocating over 11 pieces of fitness equipment to Studio U155 and the open side of the Multi-Purpose Room during the renovation. Look for signage identifying which equipment is moving and where it will be located. If you have any questions or need assistance, please connect with a member of our Fitness Team.
