Oval Village
More infoIn 2010 the Olympics left Richmond a superb multi-sport complex, and most people have driven past it for sixteen years. The Oval's climbing wall runs 31 routes with autobelays plus the tallest speed wall in Metro Vancouver, scaling whether your date is a chalk-bag regular or has never touched a hold. Better still, one single-day pass also covers table tennis, the track, and a spontaneous badminton grudge match.
No pre-booking needed, just drop in on a single-day pass and pick your battle among 31 routes, autobelays, top-rope, and Metro Van's tallest speed wall, beginner or regular. The same admission opens table tennis, the track, and a court for an impromptu badminton grudge match. Budget a full two hours since one ticket covers the lot, then head into Oval Village to eat once you've earned it.
