Getting out of the house and getting active has never been easier for White Rock and South Surrey residents – and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy this spring and summer.
The City of White Rock has been running a handful of activities throughout the spring, but there’s still time to sign up for all kinds of fun.
For children and teens, there’s golf lessons at Peace Arch Golf Centre beginning June 4, as well as tennis lessons run by longtime Peninsula pro Bruce Webster.
For registration details, pick up a copy of White Rock’s Spring Leisure Guide, call 604-541-2161 or register online at webreg.city.whiterock.bc.ca
The summer heat a little too much for you? Head inside South Surrey Arena for some skating lessons with the White Rock-South Surrey Skating Club. The club’s spring season began at the end of March, but runs another two weeks, until June 14.
For athletes of all ages, there’s also plenty of tennis and pickleball opportunities throughout the spring and summer, in addition to everything from golf to sea kayaking. For adults, a handful of hiking experiences are also being offered by the city – from leisurely Sunday walks to weeklong hikes on Nootka Island, along Vancouver Island’s Cape Scott Trail and more.Check the guide, or the city’s website, www.city.whiterock.bc.ca for more information.
The city’s spring guide offers a handful of other activities, as well, including arts and crafts, dance, child storytime and much more.
For seniors, the Kent Street Activity Centre always offers up a full slate of events and activities. Call the centre at 604-541-2231.;
