There's the Steveston Community Centre, the Steveston Community Park featuring a great playground and waterpark for the kids. Then there's Bike Terrain Park for BMX and mountain bikers east of the village at the foot of No. 2 Road at Dyke Road. There's parks to enjoy sports and Garry Point Park, a premier location for kite flying, or just having a picnic or barbecue. There's even beaches, picnic tables, benches to relax and admire the view, as well as a 2.5 km limestone path around the park meeting up with Richmond's
