In 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.
