## Amenity Inventory in Gordon Head

Gordon Head contains 190 mapped amenity points across six categories. Parks represent the largest share with 31 locations, followed by recreation facilities at 29 points.

## Transit and Childcare Presence

One hundred nineteen transit stops are mapped within Gordon Head. Locations include San Juan at Tyndall and Gordon Head at Greenlands. The high count suggests multiple route intersections throughout the neighbourhood. However, the data does not specify routes, frequency, or connectivity to broader networks. This limits assessment of commute convenience for residents.

One childcare facility, Lambrick Park Pre-school and Child Care, is identified in the area. City-wide recreation programs include personal training and physiotherapy offered through Saanich recreation. Term 2 skating lessons are listed under District of Saanich programs. These offerings provide context for available services without establishing local demand or utilization rates. Sources:

## City market context

From the Saanich market article, 11 October 2026:

Saanich's median sale price stands at $703,671 as of September 2026. The district recorded only one residential sale in September 2026, limiting the statistical reliability of current market activity. Saanich's median sale price of $703,671 is a city-scope observation that cannot be contrasted with the one September 2026 residential sale because the sources use different metrics and periods.
