What climbers say again and again
From the reviews
It is very clean, they only charge $4.00 per child, for one hour, they have showers for before and after swimming in the pool.
I took the kids to swim. Very clean and nice building. Great for little kids to learn and get used to the water. The hot tub bubble button is on the wall. The big water slide was fun. The entire pool doesn't go deeper than 4 feet.
So much fun I took my girls and it wasn’t expensive. They have a fun slide for 5yr old and a bigger slide a teenager can have fun.
This is a nice little pool to visit in the Vancouver school district. I like that it is only 4-5 dollars per person, which is less than some of the other school district pools in Vancouver. You do have to pay that price for each swim session, so it adds up if you want to spend the day and not just an hour.
Birthday parties at Jim Parsley Community Center
Jim Parsley Community Center hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
Adaptive climbing
Jim Parsley Community Center is mentioned for adaptive climbing or paraclimbing — sessions, equipment, or coaching that make the walls climbable for people with disabilities. Offerings like this vary a lot gym to gym and schedules change, so call ahead to ask what's available and when the next session runs.
