• Playground equipment (including alternative play opportunities)
• Internal trails

As defined by the Province of Ontario:

• "A community hub makes it easier for local residents to access the health, social, cultural, recreational and other resources they need together in one spot. It can be located in a physical building or accessed through a digital service."

Community Hubs are often unique to the place in which they are located.
