Sprockids Mountain Bike Park
Sprockids Mountain Bike Park is a special place. Last year it celebrated its 20th anniversary sharing our amazing forests with kids through the love of mountain biking.

Here it is 2km from my front door and I place where I love to hike. Capilano University’s Mountain Bike Operations students have built a number of trails over the past few years as part of their coursework applications. Recently, students organized a workday to install over 30 signs throughout […]

It was an extra large current day, and we happened to find some avid kayakers taking advantage of the rapids. Even though it had been a rainy day, the skies cleared for our late afternoon cruise and we […]

You can sit, relax and listen to the birds and the constant ebb and flow of the tide. In the summer, this is a popular swimming spot and […]
