Reservations no longer required for select activities at MPSC

Updated: September 1, 2021

As of September 7, Meadow Park Sports Centre passholders will no longer require a reservation to utilize the gym, visit the pool or attend a public skating session.

Meadow Park Sports Centre access available to passholders only 

Updated: January 12, 2021

Access is being prioritized to our in-demand programs and facilities for passholders only. This change is to ensure that there are enough staff hours to provide recreation programming in addition to supporting COVID-safe operations at Meadow Park Sports Centre.

Bookings for the squash and basketball courts, pool facilities, indoor public skating, fitness centre and included in-person fitness classes will be limited to passholders with a valid membership; no stand-by or drop-in access. 

Access remains unchanged for stick & puck, registered and flexible registration fitness classes, as well as all online fitness classes.

There are a variety of passholder products at different prices available to anyone who wishes to purchase a pass. An online recreation account is required to purchase a pass. If you do not have a recreation account at Meadow Park Sports Centre, you can register by phone at 604-935-PLAY (7529) during business hours. Passes are non-transferrable and non-refundable.

Whistler residents who are concerned that they may not be able to afford the cost of a pass to Meadow Park Sports Centre are encouraged to apply for the PLAY credit through the Whistler Community Services Society.
