Indoor Sports - Elementary Gyms

Community Use of VSB Elementary Gyms
Our school gymnasiums across Vancouver's neighborhoods provide practical, as-is spaces for community sports and recreational activities. Many of our newer, seismically upgraded or recently built schools feature modern gyms with quality flooring and lighting for an improved play experience.
Renting our facilities gives you convenient access to neighborhood spaces while supporting local education, as a portion of every rental directly benefits school programs. Whether you're planning a casual game or organizing a league, we have options to suit different needs and budgets, all conveniently located throughout the city.
