Have Fun in the Sun with These Outdoor Summer Sport Suggestions

The Ultimate in Safety, Service and Satisfaction

There’s plenty to do, explore and enjoy outdoors in the summer, and since that’s the season most people look forward to yearly, you can bet that there will be plenty of outdoor sports options to choose from. Even if you’re not the most physically inclined person, it’s still a great excuse to go outside and just be active. Sports can be fun in any season, but when the weather is so lovely and warm, doesn’t that make outdoor sports a whole lot better? 

Water Sports

Bodies of water look especially inviting when the sun is shining brightly and the weather’s nice and warm. You can always enjoy indoor water sports all year round, so it’s time to start enjoying the outdoors while you can. In fact, there are tons of water sports to choose from, so we’ll be listing down our top favorites here for you: 

Swimming

Indoor pools are alright for the rest of the year, but when there’s such beautiful weather outside, you might as well take the opportunity to enjoy nature’s waters. Even if you’re not into competitive swimming, there’s still a lot of enjoyment to be found with recreational swimming. 

Suggestion: Kits Pool, English Bay Beach, Lost Lake, Buntzen Lake

Surfing

This popular summer sport combines a high degree of coolness and adventure, so there are always enthusiasts testing themselves out every year. If this is something you’ve been yearning to try, you should definitely give it a go this summer. However, do remember that there are always risks involved, so if your head goes under the water, stay calm and head for the surface.

Suggestion: Chesterman Beach, Indian Beach, North Beach, Devil’s Punchbowl

Windsurfing

Imagining the wind in your hair and on your face? Well, windsurfing will definitely do the trick. After all, it’s something that most people can pick up on the go, and about the only thing you’ll need is a good following wind and steady motions. 

Suggestion: Jericho Beach, Spanish Banks, Acadia Beach

Kayaking

Although kayaking does provide the possibility for slower-paced activity, it’ll still be both a physical and mental workout. For those unfamiliar with the process, you’ll want to start off on a calmer body of water and just focus on getting your strokes right and regular. 

Suggestion: Jericho Beach, English Bay Beach, Deer Lake, False Creek

Land Sports

Can’t remember the last time you enjoyed yourself outdoors? Well, maybe it was last summer when you weren’t constantly thinking about how to stay warm. With such great weather, it makes sense to indulge in all kinds of land sports, and we’ve got some great suggestions right down below: 

Baseball

If you haven’t yet tried America’s favorite pastime, you’re missing out. Just round up a couple of friends and head out to the nearest diamond to get a feel for it. However, if you’ll like to get into the groove on your own, there’s also the option of batting cages. 

Suggestion: Jericho Baseball Diamond, Richard Saunders Field, Rick Genest Park

Soccer

Looking for a ball sport that emphasizes footwork instead? Well, soccer (or football to the larger part of the world) is one team sport that’s great for all ages. Even if you’re not entirely sure how to play, it’ll still be a good workout session. 

Suggestion: Trout Lake, Moberley Field, Carnarvon Park, Andy Livingstone Park

Biking

You can very well decide to run or walk outdoors, but if you want to cover a lot more distance in a short amount of time, biking is a great option. There’s something intrinsically satisfying about the wind in your face and the feeling of scenery constantly changing around you that feels both refreshing and invigorating.

Suggestion: Stanley Park Seawall, Burnaby Mountain Trails, Seymour Valley Trailway

Frisbee Golf

Unlike golf which can require a more substantial investment, frisbee golf is essentially a sport where the goal is to throw a frisbee into a fixed goalpost. It’s an inexpensive activity that’s suitable for all ages and even large groups, so what are you waiting for?

Suggestion: Queen Elizabeth Park Disc Golf Course, Golf Island Disc Park, Quilchena Park

Rock Climbing

This extreme sport is fast gaining popularity these days as more and more indoor options provide people with the opportunity to test their mettle out in a safer environment. If you’ll like to experience the thrill of scaling great heights, this is one thing you’ll want to explore this summer. 

Suggestion: Lighthouse Park, Cypress Falls Park, Cal-Cheak

Beach Volleyball

If you haven’t experienced the thrill of diving or spiking on the beach, you’re definitely missing out. Beach volleyball has always been one of the summer’s most popular sports, and with the crowd clamoring to either play or watch, we can surely see why.

Suggestion: Urban Beach, Kitsilano Beach, Marpole Public Beach Volleyball Courts

Golf

We understand that not everyone will be into sports that require more physical exertion and fast reflexes. If that’s your preference as well, you can always give golf a go. After all, you can always visit a driving range first to see how you feel about it before venturing any further. 

Suggestion: Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club, University Golf Club, Fraserview Golf Course

It seems natural to want to open your door and head out when the weather turns warmer, and you won’t be the only one thinking such thoughts.
