North Vancouver Recreation Facility & Amenity Assessment

The North Vancouver Recreation Facility and Amenity Assessment report was prepared by the North Vancouver Recreation & Culture (NVRC) Commission, in collaboration with the City of North Vancouver (CNV) and the District of North Vancouver (DNV). Its purpose is to provide a North Vancouver-wide assessment to help inform future indoor and outdoor facility and amenity planning in both municipalities.

Endorsed by the North Vancouver Recreation and Culture Commission in April 2026, the report summarizes the project’s key findings, including survey results, utilization data, amenity distribution analysis, municipal initiatives and long-term planning considerations. The report confirms high satisfaction among North Vancouver residents, identifies strong and growing demand for recreation amenities, and outlines strategic opportunities to maximize community benefit.

The results will inform long-term planning in both municipalities following upcoming Official Community Plan (OCP) updates.

The scope of the assessment included indoor facilities such as aquatic centres, arenas, gymnasiums, fitness and wellness spaces, and multipurpose rooms, as well as outdoor amenities including sports fields, a variety of sports courts, playgrounds, skateparks and other recreation features.
