With a bus stop right at the top of the road into the parking lot of this course it is really accessible to all. A wide open course without a tonne of trees it is really forgiving if you're a terrible golfer like me and still offers a challenge for a more accomplished golfer. I still like Fraserview and McCleery more than Langara when it comes to the municipal courses owned by the Parks Board but Langara is still fun and makes for a great day of golf!Read more

Okay, I realize that there are not a tonne of public, and for that matter private, courses in the city but you could easily include any of the courses in the 'burbs and still call this the best course. Fraserview was once considered for the PGA tour and would have been used had the city let them lengthen a couple of holes. Oh well, perhaps this keeps this gem of a course a little less busy. Perched high up from the Fraser River you would never know you are smack dab in the middle of a major residential area of the city of Vancouver. Challenging and beautiful this course has another major thing going for it...the green fees. They are so reasonable it is shocking and particularly if you are playing with a junior the rates are very reasonable. The clubhouse is also excellent and offers a wide variety of food and drinks that you can enjoy on the patio while watching players come home on 18...for my money the most challenging hole on the course...but that may be because I lose a ball in the ravine every time I play there! If you are a golfer you HAVE to play Fraserview.Read more

We have been going to Jump since they opened and couldn't be happier with the experience they provide for our child. With carefully crafted programs, Jump ensures that they follow a steady progression in developing fundamental skills for your children. Physical awareness and body confidence are a primary focus to develop the fundamentals your child will need to participate not only in gymnastics but all sorts of other sports. They also have great staff and take a real interest in ensuring that their programs run smoothly. Not only do they have the structured programs but Jump also offers two services that I simply must mention. The first is their birthday parties. Our child's last birthday party was at Jump and a fabulous time was had by all. The 12 kids had 3 instructors who crafted a fun program of gymnastics, fun and games and the parents had the funky lounge to hang out and chat or observe their little ones from the viewing area. The second great thing that Jump offers are bi-weekly date nights in the middle and end of the month on Fridays. For a nominal sum, you can make reservations to drop your child off at Jump from 5-8pm for a fun night of gymnastics, games, crafts and bedtime stories. Meanwhile, you and your partner or date can go grab dinner or a movie in and around Yaletown or Gastown. Easily the best way to get out and enjoy some quality quiet time while your little ones enjoy a fun time! Jump Gymnastics...easily the best gymnastics school for kids in the city!Read more
