## Mapped Amenity Presence

Lochdale contains five mapped amenity points according to the supplied dataset. The categories include one school, three transit stops, and one recreation facility. These points represent the total attributed to this specific neighbourhood boundary in the source data. The presence of these facilities indicates basic infrastructure coverage within the defined area. No additional amenities are listed for this location in the current evidence set.

The single school point is identified as Lochdale Community School. Three transit stop points are located at Hastings St and Kensington Ave intersections. One recreation point is named Lochdale Community Hall. These names are copied exactly from the source records without added descriptors. The mapping confirms physical presence but does not measure usage rates or service levels. Buyers should verify current operational status through independent channels before making decisions.
