South Surrey is a vibrant community that boasts sprawling beaches, beautiful mountain views and several parks. Much like the neighbouring community of White Rock, South Surrey has a large population of retirees. South Surrey is a great place to live for individuals that embrace an active lifestyle, and is known for being a community that is passionate about hockey. There are several fitness facilities, both public and private, that make it easy to stay healthy close to home.

The South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre has taken a unique approach to community development by providing a public facility that promotes an active lifestyle and the arts all under one roof. The art spaces are operated by Semiahmoo Arts – Turnbull Gallery, Pottery Studio and The Scotiabank Arts Studio. The rec centre has numerous exercise programs for people of all ages including suspension training, cardio and spin classes. Looking for a great way to cool off in the heat? The Sunnyside Outdoor Pool is a popular destination for families during the summer time. The pool, rec centre, and miles of trails around the city allow the residents in this area to maintain an active lifestyle all year round.
