Various sports teams and a play group also operate through the  community association. The Community Centre is also used by a variety of outside  groups, ranging from catering groups who make use of the centre’s commercial  kitchen, to organizations such as the miniatures club, orchid society and doll  enthusiasts. The community association also makes an effort to address issues of  concern to residents, and is currently developing a traffic committee to address  traffic concerns facing the rapidly developing area.
