## Amenity Distribution in Royal Oak

The neighbourhood contains 87 mapped amenity points across six categories. Transit stops represent the largest group with 53 locations, followed by 17 recreation sites. Schools number five, while parks and grocery stores each total five points in the dataset. Childcare facilities account for two additional mapped locations within the area.

These counts reflect static geographic points rather than service quality or accessibility metrics. The concentration of transit stops suggests multiple intersection points along major corridors. Recreation sites include named facilities like MacPherson Outdoor Pool and Portuguese Cultural Centre. The data does not establish proximity to residences or actual usage patterns. Sources:

## Educational and Commercial Infrastructure

Five school points appear in the Royal Oak mapping, including Windsor Elementary School and Clinton Elementary School. Two childcare locations are identified, one named Burnaby South Childcare. Grocery options include Hannam Supermarket, King's Market, and Smart N Save Grocery & Cafe. These commercial points provide basic retail services within the neighbourhood boundary.

School ratings show mixed comparative performance without historical trend data. The presence of multiple educational institutions indicates family-oriented infrastructure. However, the mapped points do not confirm catchment areas or current enrollment capacity. Commercial establishments vary in type from supermarkets to wholesale clubs, suggesting diverse shopping options. Sources:
