Here at AIR 106.1 we recently decided that it would be a good idea to really get to know our community and everything it has to offer.

While tossing around ideas of places we could check out one location was at the top of the list from the very beginning...GENESIS PLACE!

Airdrie's premier destination for all things sport (and more) was impressive to say the least. In the few years that its been open Genesis Place has gone through a number of changes. Originally Phase One of GP consisted mainly of the aquatic facility, which is quite amazing in its own right, and a fitness centre.  Soon after they expanded to include a gymnastics centre and brought in the indoor fields which are now used for soccer, lacrosse, basketball as well as large functions such as High School Graduation.

Phase Three is the next step which will see two ice surfaces added to the property in the near future. With a football field out back and a track surrounding it, it's hard to think of a sport that couldn't be played at this incredible location.

But that doesn't exactly mean sports and exercise are the only goings-on at Genesis Place as everything has been designed for multi-purpose use.  There are meeting rooms located upstairs which are fully equipped with tables, screen-projectors, and lots more to make your meeting, party, or activity a success.

Another great thing about Genesis Place is that there are things for people of all ages to enjoy.  The track provides a great place to get in a good walk or jog without having to worry about slipping on ice or the weather being too cold.  There are yoga rooms away from all the noise where you can get the most peaceful and and relaxing workout possible as well as high intensity circuit training for those that don't like to be quite that relaxed. The indoor fields are great for playing many different sports and with wall dividers the possibility of many different sports all being played at the same time is really high.

All of this is made possible by another great service Genesis Place offers, Child Care.  With both day care as well as short term care, you can bring the kids and not have to worry about them while you use the facility. There's even a McDonalds Play Area which on average hosts ten birthday parties a day on weekends.

And to top all of this off there's even a food court so that after a hard workout you can replenish yourself with a delicious smoothie or something to eat from the in house restaurants.


So if you haven't made your way to Genesis Place yet we encourage you to go check it out as there truly is something for everyone all under one roof! Day passes can be purchased for only $10.25 and provide access to all of the facilities.

Genesis Place is located at 800 East Lake Boulevard NE.
