    Britannia is a fairly older community centre, it's one of the few sites that offer school, library and a community centre on the same site. Many have complained that the amenities need upgrading or its just too old, but it a community within a community and you won't get that elsewhere. The pool needs upgrading and the change room need better functionality and the childcare is outdated, but there is a plan. It's coming! Britannia Ice rink offers an NHL size rink that off season hockey players do come and practice. The rink was a practice facility for the Vancouver 2010 teams and have faced some upgrades. I work at Britannia. I'm a transplant of the community. It's my second home.

    Nice a workout while I wait for car from Soares auto

    “I haven't used the pool or the fitness room for a while now so this review is basically for the ice rink, which is awesome!”

    Deep Cove

    Had a fun time in Deep Cove. Due to high tourist season, it is best to go online to register and…read morereserve your kayaks. It will save you a lot of time when you pick up your kayak. Prices are pretty reasonable and we chose the two hour option due to our limited time during the sunset period. The staff were busy but friendly and assisted us with our kayaks. They will brief you about the kayaks, safety and where to go. Now, I would select a longer time to truly appreciate Deep Cove's natural beauty when you aren't dodging other kayaks or boats. The traffic can be somewhat chaotic in the summer time and it is main area for a lot of boaters heading out of the cove. We kayak around three islands within our two hour option, but didn't relax as much as we want. Again, the salt water, slight wind, and being in the 80's made it a wonderful but brief time.

    Great place to kayak, incredible views, definitely worth a visit…read more Equipment and gear were great and in great shape. Our guides were knowledgeable and got us in and out of our kayak without us getting our feet wet. I didn't give five stars for two reasons. First, the two guides seemed a bit lax, they mostly paddled with us instead of taking lead and sweep positions, despite the fact that two out of the six of us had never kayaked before. They did look back periodically to check on everyone, but it was still strange compared to other kayak tours I've been on. Second, they didn't take pictures of us, other tours I've been on do it as a matter of course and email or post pictures to everyone. Still, this was a very worthwhile experience, and everyone enjoyed the views, the seals we saw in the water, etc., and no one had trouble keeping up despite the wind and the range of both ages and kayaking experience.

    Crab Park - I love this place, it's always so peaceful.

    Downtown

    An unexpectedly cancelled meeting at the convention centre today rendered me a walk through…read moreGastown. By the time I reached the eastern edge at Alibi Room, I was going to turnaround until I saw a sign that said CRAB Park at Portside perched on the light pole at Alexander and Main. I remember reading about this area used to be called luk'luk'i by the Coast Salish peoples so I decided to take a detour see what it was like. It is a gem off the beaten path. The easiest (perhaps the only) way to get to the park is by the overpass at the north end of Main at Alexander. The overpass is also wheel-friendly. It has a huge off-leash area (though not fenced and I don't still don't understand how you can have a off-leash dog area with no fence but I don't want to digress into civic issues), a foot path along the water and even a beach! The view is absolutely gorgeous. Although you won't get a wide span view of downtown as you would from Spanish Bank, the south side of False Creek or Lonsdale Quay, the park renders you proximity to the building. The new Woodwards towers, Harbour Centre, Canada Place, Burrard Inlet and the cranes at the port are right there in front of you. When I was there during the day on a weekday around lunch time, there were only a handful of park visitors: nearby workers taking a lunch time stroll, neighbours walking their canine companions, retirees and those fortunate or unfortunate ones who do not work. It is a perfect alternative resting spot for a picnic on the weekends if you are riding your bikes but want to avoid Stanley Park crowded with tourists. I would image the view of downtown at night would be fantastic due to the proximity but I haven't been there at night. I would probably do a drive by with my car to check out how safe the park is at night before recommending anyone venturing out there on foot for a romantic walk after dinner in Gastown. It is, after all only a few blocks away from the most interesting spot in Vancouver according to Renee Zellweger (so she claimed on Regis and Kelly) - Main & Hastings.

    It's a shame this beautiful park is overrun and ruined by ignorant dog owners who:…read more 1- Don't pick up dog poop 2- Think it's their God given right to unleash their out-of-control dogs with behavioural issues 3- Unleash their dogs during ON-LEASH hours. Yes, there are hours posted.... try reading!! 4- Irresponsibly ignore and don't care when their dogs are attacking other dogs 5- Are nosy with a vigilante attitude towards others when they disagree with how a dog is being trained. 6- Don't have licenses for their dogs, break the rules, act irresponsibly, and think they're perfect. 2017 edition park info. After 7 years of using this park, it's really sad that I no longer feel like it is healthy or safe because of the obnoxious, psychotic people that are ruining it. City of Vancouver: Cancel the Downtown Ambassadors program and hire somebody to check up on licenses and fine people for not picking up poop. You'll have fun $$$. Make Crab Park great again. LOL
