PROGRAMS

Physical Education

At Hayden Recreation Centre, our Physical Education (P.E.) programs are designed to be inclusive, engaging, and most of all—FUN! We believe that every child, regardless of skill level, should have the opportunity to move, learn, and grow in a positive, supportive environment

Move, Play, and Grow with Hayden's P.E. Programs!

Youth/Adult/Member Parent Open Gym

Open Gym takes place in our basketball court and is available at scheduled times throughout the week for different groups, including youth (by age group), adults, and member/guardian sessions. During Open Gym, members are welcome to use our gym equipment and enjoy independent activities like shooting hoops, practicing skills, or joining a game of pick-up basketball — a frequent favorite!

Weight Room

Our weight room offers a no-frills, functional space for strength and cardio training. It includes 3 squat racks, a classic pulley machine system, a variety of free weights and kettlebells, and cardio options: a treadmill, elliptical and air bike. The space was refreshed in 2019 and provides a solid setup for all experience levels.
