Family Life
Auburn Bay Park is next to the Auburn Bay Residents’ Association building and features a beach area used for swimming and beach volleyball, a large spray pad, walking paths, greenspace, hockey rinks in winter, and well-maintained landscaping. The Auburn Bay Dog Park has many features, including agility poles, climbing hills, sandpits, plenty of greenspace, fenced-in training areas, benches, an agility run, drinking fountains for dogs, walking paths, and small ponds. Other parks and greenspaces in the neighbourhood do not have official names. One example can be found in the northwest corner of the neighbourhood, along Auburn Bay Boulevard SE, where there is a park with walking paths, soccer fields, a baseball diamond, greenspace, a playground, and benches. Walking paths from this park lead to a small pond.
Auburn House is the home of the Auburn Bay Residents Association, which is located on the shore of Auburn Bay Lake. Outside the facility, there are boat launches, a park, picnic shelters, a beach, and tennis courts. Auburn House itself has a grand hall, a multipurpose room, and a gymnasium, all of which can be rented for events, programs, and meetings. Recreational programs are offered at the facility, and include registered classes, drop-in classes, and kids’ camps. Yoga, tennis, fitness, paddle boarding, dance, martial arts, soccer, ball hockey, basketball, and drama are all program options available at Auburn House. The facility is also used as a venue for community events such as library book truck visits, teen events, holiday celebrations, campfires, barbeques, and movie nights.
