'''Village Square Leisure Centre''' (also known as Pepsi Thunder) is an indoor leisure centre located at 2623 56 Street Northeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The facility is owned and operated by the City of Calgary. The facility has a large waterpark with a "Thunder Run" waterslide, a wave pool, dive tank, and splash area. The facility also has a fitness centre, several gymnasiums, two NHL-sized arenas, and a Calgary Public Library branch. The building opened in 1981, and was renovated in 2008. The fire alarm system was upgraded after the renovation, and again in May of 2023. | '''Village Square Leisure Centre''' (also known as Pepsi Thunder) is an indoor leisure centre located at 2623 56 Street Northeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
