CHILLIWACK — The City of Chilliwack says it has finalized several upgrades to the fitness area and weight room at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre on Corbould Street.

In a social media post, city staff say the recreation centre upgrades began in August 2024 by replacing the old strength machines with newly acquired equipment.

The City has also improved the user experience at the rec centre by adding new cardio machines (e.g., treadmills or ellipticals) and upgrading the warm-up and cool down areas.

At the end of December, the City completed the upgrades with three new large-scale pieces of weight room equipment.

The improvements could signal additional interest in the two rec centres, which are managed and operated by the YMCA.
