4. Confederation Park
Address: 250 Willingdon Avenue
Service Sector: Public Sector
Connection with SPSC 2210: Recreation
Confederation Park is a public park that is open to all
people. Confederation Park has plenty of different terrains
and fields to play on such as a rubber track, grass soccer
field, concrete lacrosse box, and a gravel baseball diamond,
all of which are open to public use. Confederation Park is a
very diverse area where the elderly engage in competitive
bocce tournaments, young children are learning how to ride
their bicycles and teenagers walking around the track while
burning calories and playing Pokemon Go. With this being
said, the nature of Confederation Park “continually
reinforces values of establishing and maintaining a healthy
lifestyle to all that use it” (Lunn, 2021, p. 3). I still go to
Confederation Park to this day, and I always enjoy myself
when I am there.

5. Brentwood Park Elementary
School
Address: 1455 Delta Ave, Burnaby, BC V5B 3G4
Service Sector: Public Sector
Connection with SPSC 2210: Physical Education,
Recreation, and Coaching
Brentwood Park Elementary School is connected with
Physical Education, Recreation, and Coaching in the
following ways. This school provides sport and recreation to
disadvantaged clients, more specifically, children of low
income families (Lunn, 2021, p. 3), because public schools
are free. With the free enrollment, comes free teaching and
physical education classes, which can teach these children
how to become physically literate and tips to carry out every
day activities. Since this school has sports such as soccer,
basketball, track and volleyball, these children have the
opportunity to join these teams and receive coaching and
gives these children the skills to work as a team and to
cooperate with others. After school hours, the playground is
open to all who want to play on it and spend some free time
in the area.

6. Willingdon Heights Park
Address: 1491 Carleton Ave, Burnaby, BC V5C 4V5
Service Sector: Public Sector
Connection with SPSC 2210: Recreation
Willingdon Heights Park is an outdoor park that is open to all
who want to indulge in the recreational activities and sports
that this park has to offer, ranging anywhere from a concrete
basketball court, baseball diamond, grass soccer field, a
jungle gym, and even a pool for the summer. Willingdon
Heights Park has a nature that “continually reinforces values
and ideals of establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
and physical well being Lunn, 2021, p. 3) When I am here, there
is always a group of people shooting some baskets, having a
heated soccer game, or battling it out on the tennis courts. In this
park, there is a walkway that takes you around the park with
plenty of trees and friendly animals, and is a very relaxing walk
when you are dealing with the stressors of everyday life.

8. Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool &
Fitness Centre
Address: 240 Willingdon Ave, Burnaby, BC V5C 5E9
Service Sector: Commercial Sector
Connection with SPSC 2210: Recreation
Commercial recreation is defined as “recreation for which the
consumer pays and the supplier expects to make a profit”
(Lunn, 2021, p. 6). Eileen Dailly falls into the commercial
sector because people have to pay a fee to get in and to use
their equipment. For the customers of Eileen Dailly, they pay
to either relax and go for a swim or sit in the hot tub, or to go
into their new and improved weight room and gym to grind out
a workout, or even both. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they
have closed their pool for the time being, and only allowing a
certain amount of people in the weight room at a time. Eileen
Dailly provides indoor leisure services for all in the community
to attend and take part in.

9. Kensington Pitch and Putt
Address: 5889 Curtis St, Burnaby, BC V5C 4M8
Service Sector: Public Sector
Connection with SPSC 2210: Recreation
Kensington Pitch and Putt is a great example of a local indoor
recreational area. At Kensington Pitch and Putt, you can enjoy
a nice warm day with your friends while playing a nice round of
pitch and putt. As mentioned in the previous slide, this type of
recreation is considered to be “recreation for which the
consumer pays and the supplier expects to make a profit”
(Lunn, 2021, p. 6). In the case of Kensington Pitch and Putt,
individuals have to pay in order to use their course, so just in
case a group of people brings their own golf clubs, they still
have to pay an admission fee to play in the course.
Regardless, they will be making some sort of profit, whether
an individual is renting clubs and balls or not.

10. Scotia Barn by Canlan Sports
Address: 6501 Sprott St, Burnaby, BC V5B 3B8
Service Sector: Commercial Sector
Connections with SPSC 2210: Recreation and Coaching
The Scotia Barn by Canlan Sports is an example of a local
indoor recreational area and training facility. Inside the Scotia
Barn, you can book the indoor turf field, or any of the ice rinks
for recreational purposes. For example, every Christmas Eve,
my older cousins rent out the turf field and we play a full field
football game and enjoy ourselves. When it comes to the
coaching aspects of the Scotia Barn, they hold skating lessons
for all ages at one of their ice rinks for a certain price. They
also have specific skating coaches too, they have some figure
skaters to coach people that want to learn the basics of figure
skating, and hockey coaches to help young hockey players
brush up on their skating technique. This is considered a part
of the commercial sector because individuals have to pay for
the field, ice rink, and the lessons and camps provided by the
Scotia Barn.

the Burnaby City Chargers Football Club, this organization is
considered non-profit/voluntary, as they “rely on their
