BESIDES BEING well-known for its spectacular parks and

fabulous ski and golf facilities, the North Shore has some of

the best recreation centres.

Two of these, Delbrook and
William Griffin Recreation Cen-
tres, are the heartbeat of the
Capilano area, with numerous
programs for tiny tots and seniors
to artistic and special programs for
the handicapped.

Delbrook Recreation Centre,
located at 600 West Queens Road,
is presently the head office for the
North Vancouver Recreation
Commission.

The centre was built in 1957 and
operated as a high school until
1977 when it was destroyed by a
fire. The community centre, open-
ed in 1983, has three raquetball
courts, one squash court. three
tennis courts, and a gymnasium,
the home of the Capilano College
Blues basketball teams. Basketball
and badminton are also played in

The north building houses a
number of rooms where a variety
of courses are taught: watercolor
painting, arts and crafts, guitar,
gardening classes, preschool and
senior activities, and cooking
courses for all ages.

With summer coming up, the
most popular site will be the tennis
courts. Says recreation coordinator
Doug Worber: ‘‘They (tennis
courts) are among the nicest on the
North Shore. They’re well-finish-
ed, clean and well-lit.’ The courts
stay lit until 10 p.m. Tennis lessons
are offered to players of all ages.

Another big attraction, a pottery

studio, is available for beginners or
advanced potters.

During summer vacation, pro-
grams for children are available at
Delbrook and at William Griffin
to help working parents. Games,
field trips, arts and crafts and
swimming are among some of the
activities available.
