List of Squash Courts in Ottawa
Although underrated, squash is both an exciting and extremely demanding physical sport. Studies have shown that the number of calories burned playing a back and forth game of squash are comparable and in fact superior to most other sports. The fact that a small ball is chased around as it ricochets off of various walls provides a high degree of running and change of direction.
The following guide details Ottawa’s squash courts. Given the indoor and specialised nature of the game, these facilities either require membership or charge fees for play. Please contact them for details.
