Racquet Centre Update

As of May 2026, the Racquet Centre includes seven squash courts and three racquetball/pickleball/handball courts. Court booking priority is given to students and members. We recommend booking early. 

Find more details about courts, access, and programming below. 

There are seven squash courts, and three racquetball/pickleball/handball courts. They are located on the east side of the former Racquet Centre space. 

In response to member feedback and growing demand, the west side of the former Racquet Centre has been transformed into expanded fitness and bouldering space. The east side remains dedicated to racquet sports. This allows us to enhance our offerings while keeping the space part of Active Living.

Students and members can book a court online. Book early to get the court time that works best for you.
