Welcome back to Canoa Hills
GVR CEO Scott Somers with Board President, Marge Garneau; Happy members in the new lobby; energetic member already working out; Mike Finkelstein and Friends set the mood with happy jazz; board games and puzzles are available for member use; GVR Club Liaison, Kathy Edwards and friends.
The updated and modernized Canoa Hills center re-opened its doors on January 1, welcoming members back to a refreshed and refurbished space. The renovation project was undertaken to renew the center’s flooring, interior walls, bathrooms, and locker rooms—including showers and the addition of bathing suit spinners. The result is a center that is more welcoming and functional than ever before. The work was more challenging than initially anticipated so the renovation took longer, but the efforts have resulted in a member hub that promotes health, wellness, and social connection.
The new and improved center features a host of impressive amenities, including a well-equipped fitness center, an outdoor pool with a recoated deck, a large auditorium, bocce and tennis courts, and a picnic area. The pool is perfect for both swimming laps and lounging in the water. To further enhance the GVR member experience, drop-in table tennis continues on Saturdays from noon–2pm and Sundays from 8am-noon with a new time on Wednesdays from 6–9pm. Also, badminton drop-in has been added on Sundays from 1–5pm. Members can now enjoy a friendly game of table tennis or badminton with friends and family, and also hang out in the lobby to socialize with a game of cards, a puzzle, a board game, and watch sports and movies on the big screen TV.
