| Location | Activities | Address | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandy Hill Community Centre [SHCC] (map) | canoeing, hiking, bicycling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing | 250 Somerset Street East, between Sweetland Avenue and Nelson Street. The actual meeting spot is around the back by the Centre's parking lot, off of Sweetland Avenue. | You can park in the parking lot for free when attending activities at the Centre and temporarily when we are gathering for an outing, but you are at risk of being ticketed if you leave your vehicle there while we are away on an outing. People usually manage to find parking on the nearby streets; ensure that you check the parking duration on the signs.
(This is not the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, which is elsewhere.) |
