Find a Good Book at Your Local Library Stop by your local Surrey library for limitless entertainment (free of charge!) The library is a great place to learn a new topic or enjoy a fictional book.

We understand that your pet needs to be walked rain or shine, and that's why we have community dog off-leash parks where your dog can play with other furry-friends! Let your dog run around in the rain while you stay dry under your umbrella and socialize with other community members.

If it's too slippery to go for a bike ride in the rain, don't worry - our recreation facilities have you covered with fun, high- energy spin classes!
