Whether you’re new to town or a long-time resident, the Complex offers a welcoming place to stay active and get involved.
Facilities
The Complex includes a multi-use stadium for basketball, badminton and other indoor sports, a community gym, squash courts, change rooms, a small kitchen and flexible spaces for dance, aerobics, fitness boxing and group activities. It’s a practical, community-run facility that continues to evolve while remaining an important part of everyday life in Kaniva. NB: Please ensure children are supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
Opening hours
Weekdays during school term, 3.25pm - 9am
Weekends and School Holidays, 24/7
Gym Memberships
The Kaniva Community Gym is a low-cost, local option for anyone wanting a flexible way to keep fit. Members access the gym using a secure FOB key, allowing them to train at times that suit their routine. Memberships are used by a mix of locals, students and shift workers, creating a friendly, low-pressure environment suitable for both beginners and experienced users. A refundable bond applies for FOB keys. NB: Please wipe down equipment after use and return items to their original location.
Extra Training Space
Gym members also have access to the upstairs “dance space,” which includes light equipment such as mats, skipping ropes, agility ladders, aerobic steps and a cleaning station. This space is ideal for cardio, circuit training, stretching or recovery sessions. NB: Children are not allowed to play on the stairs, or upstairs without parental supervision.
Squash Courts
There are two squash courts that are available for use as part of your gym membership or available at a casual hire rate of $11.00 per hour, per court.
