About
Little Burgundy Sports Centre is a municipal community sports complex on Rue Notre-Dame Ouest in the Little Burgundy neighbourhood. It's a genuine community hub with a swimming pool, gymnasium, and multi-purpose rooms that host a full schedule of youth and family programming.
The swimming pool is the centerpiece. Public swim sessions run throughout the week, and the pool hosts swim lessons, aqua-fitness classes, and recreational swim times for families. For kids who love the water, this is an affordable way to spend a few hours, especially on rainy or cold days.
Beyond the pool, the center runs seasonal sports programs for kids including basketball, soccer, and indoor activities. The gymnasium is used for organized leagues and drop-in sports. Community events are common, and the center often hosts holiday and school-break programming.
The facility is older but well-maintained. It's not going to wow anyone with its decor, but it's clean, functional, and genuinely welcoming. Staff are community-oriented and helpful. Changing rooms have family-friendly options, and the building is stroller-accessible.
Parking is available on Notre-Dame Ouest and surrounding streets. The Lionel-Groulx metro station is about a 15-minute walk, or you can take the 36 bus. The Little Burgundy neighbourhood itself is worth exploring, with restaurants on Notre-Dame and the Atwater Market not far away.
