Check out the award winning fantasy playground made from wood.. very interesting. Children love it! There is also Ambleside beach, skatepark, playground & beach volleyball . . & concessions. Closer to the Lions Gate bridge is the off leash dog park close to the swan pond where blue herons nest in the tall trees. Amazing prehistoric looking birds! There is a single rail line that runs in-between the house and the water. It is not a big deal and people don't complain but you should be aware of it. In the summertime the Rocky Mountaineer passenger train goes up to Whistler in the morning and back down around dinner time a few times per week. Otherwise there are infrequent trains including one or two at night that go by in one or two minutes. Lots of birds come to the garden including some beautiful little humming birds. There is an Eagles nest nearby. You can hear their distinctive cry. Pipe Creek is next door (west). In winter you can hear the rushing water coming down the mountain. There is no shortage of nature. Beautiful walks in all directions. The bus picks up 2 doors down on Marine Drive & takes you on a scenic ride directly downtown in 30 minutes. You can also go west to Horseshoe Bay in 15 minutes. There are excellent bike rides in the area. Take a scenic drive west on Marine Drive to Light House Park, Whyltcliffe & Horseshoe Bay. The drive to Whistler is spectacular on the Sea to Sky Highway.

You can also hike all the way up along the Capilano River to the Cleveland Dam at the top (Capilano Regional Park). Spectacular scenery & a good workout. Lynn Valley suspension bridge is also nice for an adventure. Avid hikers love the Grouse Grind .. direct up Grouse Mountain.. where you can see bears at the wildlife refuge.. You can also take the gondola up. In the summer there is the Shipyards Night Market on fridays from 5-10pm (may 1 - sept 25). The Ambleside Farmers Market is on Sundays (in the summer months) from 11-4. Children like the fantasy playground at John Lawson Park near the pier. So many things to do..
