Richmond Olympic Oval Lower Mainland

The biggest venue built for the 2010 Winter Olympics (it hosted long-track speed skating), this riverfront behemoth has since become a community sports facility shared by locals around the region. The five rings haven't been forgotten, though: the on-site Richmond Olympic Experience (www.therox.ca) offers a host of simulator experiences enabling you to pretend you won your own medal. There's also a 14m indoor climbing wall.
