False Creek Community Centre
Opened in 1980, the construction of False Creek Community Centre
was one of several public facilities planned by the City of Vancouver
who developed this former industrial area located on the the southern
shore of False Creek. Its prime location on bustling Granville Island
coupled with its access to the waterfront provide additional and unique
programming opportunities. Presently in the midst of receiving an
expansion and other improvements, the centre primarily serves a
population of "baby boomers" (those born between 1947 and 1965) but
offers a roster of programs and events for all ages. Specialty programs
and services include canoeing, kayaking, tennis, performing arts, after
school daycare and a well-equipped fitness centre. False Creek's
proximity to Vancouver's seaside bicycle route makes an excellent
starting point for cycling excursions; either west to Spanish Banks or
east toward Stanley Park and Coal Harbour.
