Westside Recreation Centre — Climbing

I took my 9-year-old daughter to the climbing program at Westside Recreation Centre in Calgary last Saturday, and we had a solid experience overall. The climbing wall is impressive, standing at 24 feet, and she felt challenged but not overwhelmed. The instructor, Sarah, was highly engaging and provided clear instructions. I appreciated the small group size, which allowed for personal attention. However, we did face a bit of a long line before our turn, which made the wait feel longer than it should have. My daughter, who is quite active, made a friend during the session, adding to her enjoyment. I’d recommend this program to other parents; just be prepared for potential waiting times during busy hours.

We recently enrolled our 9-year-old in the climbing program at Westside Recreation Centre in Calgary, and overall, it was a positive experience. The climbing wall, standing 24 feet tall, was challenging yet not overwhelming for my child, who is quite active. The instructor, Jake, was really engaging and took the time to encourage each kid individually, which made a big difference in their confidence levels. The only minor downside was that the lines to get on the wall sometimes felt long, especially during peak hours. However, once they got their turn, the kids had a blast climbing. My child even made a friend during the session, which was a nice bonus. It’s definitely a good option for kids looking to try out climbing in a supportive environment.
