Melcor YMCA at Crowfoot is a large recreation centre located at 8100 John Laurie Boulevard Northwest, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building houses a pool, a fitness centre, and shares a building with the Crowfoot Arena, which has a separate entrance. The Crowfoot Arena was built in the late 1980s when the original Crowfoot Rec Centre was built, and had a system upgrade in 1991 after the facility closed. The YMCA was added on in 1996, and officially opened in 1997. The system was partially upgraded in 2007; most notification appliances are original.
