The newly expanded Recreation Center features: Curling rink, Skating oval, Ice arena, Sports field, Fitness centre, Track, Weight room, Racquet courts and Climbing wall. 

CHETWYND LEISURE POOL

The leisure pool has many special features including 0” to 8’ depths; beach area; umbrella fountain; wave machine and 25 metre, 4 lane lap pool. As well there is a large whirlpool ranging in depths from 0” to 3’; sauna and viewing deck complete with patio chairs and tables.

The changerooms are spacious with everything that one would need are in them.  There is a separate male and female changeroom as well as a third changeroom for families. The temperature of the whirlpool is maintained at 104 F; the main pool at 86 F and the sauna at 110 F.

In the fall of 2010, a 3 story waterslide was added to the facility.  Ideal for swimmers and non-swimmers as the landing comes down into its own “flume” or channel, thus not dropping into the pool itself!

CHETWYND BMX & SKATE PARK

This 10,000 square foot park features elements such as pyramid, stairs, and rails with loads of concrete ideal for BMX riders and skateboarders.

CHETWYND OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Outdoor enthusiasts will find several options in the great outdoors: hit the hiking and biking trails, or explore a local lake or river. Riverboat tours and boat rentals are available on Moberly Lake. The fishing is great – try Moberly, Gwillim, and Sundance lakes, and the Pine, Murray and Sukunka rivers to get you started.

Chetwynd’s trail systems lie within the town’s greenspace as well as in the backcountry. From rustic to steep and rugged, there is a trail to suit all levels of hiers and bikers.
