## Amenity Inventory

Hammond Bay maps 84 amenity points across four categories. The largest groups are 52 transit stops and 29 parks, with two recreation points and one school completing the set. These counts reflect mapped locations only and do not measure service levels or usage patterns within the neighbourhood boundary as of October 2026.

The transit stop count spans multiple street intersections along the Hammond Bay corridor. Park names include Glen Oaks Park 1 through 6, Wandl Park, and Eagle View Park. Each point is attributed to the neighbourhood scope in the source data, but no distance, frequency, or access metric accompanies the listing to support a convenience assessment. Sources:

## School Presence

One school point, Hammond Bay Elementary School, is mapped within the neighbourhood. The source notes strong comparative performance and improvement from historical records, while cautioning that scores do not reflect individual student fit or safety. This single data point establishes presence and a qualitative review summary without confirming catchment boundaries or enrollment figures.

The school rating summary describes solid comparative standing based on available metrics. No additional schools, preschools, or educational facilities appear in the mapped amenity set for Hammond Bay. Buyers seeking specific district policies or current program details must verify directly with the school board, as the mapped entry does not provide operational specifics beyond the comparative note.
