1. The Minto Recreation Complex
The Minto Recreation Complex is Quinn’s Pointe homeowner’s one-stop-shop for endless recreational and community activities. Besides being the location of past Minto Communities’ Family Day events, the Minto Recreation Complex has something for everyone. Whether you want to learn to swim or sign up for a session or two of aquatic aerobics, the 25m long, six-lane lap pool has been ranked among the top 10 indoor pools in Canada by Chatelaine Magazine. The Complex’s two NHL-sized ice rinks hold tournaments, family and pubic skates, team games and pick-up hockey. There is an outdoor field for team sports and a number of community events taking place year-round.
2. Guinness Park
Want to stretch your legs a little closer to home? Guinness Park is at the heart of Quinn’s Pointe and has so much to offer children and adults alike. Kids can burn off energy on the play equipment, or cool down in the summer months in the splash pad. Embrace your inner Serena Williams on the tennis court or practice your FIFA moves on the field. Slow the pace down with a picnic on the grass or an evening stroll along the multi-use paths that connect the park to the rest of the community.
