About

Centre sportif Cote-des-Neiges is a large municipal sports complex on Avenue Van Horne in the Cote-des-Neiges neighbourhood. This is a full-service rec center with a swimming pool, gymnasium, fitness areas, and multi-purpose rooms hosting a comprehensive schedule of youth programming.

The center is a hub for kids' sports in this part of Montreal. Offerings include swimming lessons at various levels, basketball and soccer programs, day camps during school breaks, and fitness classes for teens. The children's camp program is popular and runs throughout the summer and during holiday weeks.

The pool is the main family attraction for drop-in visitors. Public swim times accommodate families, and the pool area has enough space that it doesn't feel overcrowded even on busy days. Swimming lessons are offered year-round and are a reliable, affordable option compared to private swim schools.

The building is accessible and stroller-friendly. Change rooms have family changing areas, and there are nursing rooms available. The facility is well-used and shows some wear, but it's clean and maintained by the city.

The Cote-des-Neiges area is well-served by public transit. The Cote-des-Neiges metro station is about a 10-minute walk. The 165 and 17 bus routes stop nearby. Parking is available on Van Horne and side streets. The neighbourhood has excellent diverse dining options, from Vietnamese to Ethiopian, within walking distance.
