Oak Bay Recreation is ready for you this Winter

We are happy to announce the Active Living Guide is now online. Staff have been preparing programs and session bookings in our Fitness Centres, Pool, Gym and Arena to ensure all patrons and staff are safe during this unprecedented time. All three Centres are open, Henderson Centre in North Oak Bay, Oak Bay Recreation Centre on Bee Street, and Monterey Recreation Centre just off Oak Bay Avenue. The indoor sports field and Sports View Lounge opened in the fall. COVID-19 safety protocols are in place to provide a safe environment for your activities. These measures include reduced numbers of participants in programs, physical distancing measures, enhanced cleaning and sanitization and mandatory masks in all facilities. Staff would like to encourage you to stay active during these months to reduce mental and emotional stress. There are new creative sessions to stay fit and be safe during these months. Many of our regular programs are still available to learn a new craft, change your fitness routine, join a bubble skate or swim with family. Some examples of new programs include Family Gym Rentals at the Henderson Recreation Centre beginning January 9th. The Arena will also offer times during December for Holiday Family Bubble Skates, please see the Skating schedule online for more information. Check the Active Living Guide for more information. Recreation Oak Bay will be closed on Christmas and New Year’s Day, with reduced hours on December 24, 26 and 31. The Holiday Schedule will be online soon. Don’t forget to check out programs offered for children and changes to the fitness schedules during the break. Give the gift of fun and fitness! Recreation Oak Bay Gift Cards are available.
