Vanier is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this part of the city. Although the ambience is not the most lively in this part of Oshawa with its a few bars, there are options for nighttime activities. Most areas in Vanier are reasonably quiet, as the streets are usually quite tranquil, although there are still several louder sections, especially around the railway line or Highway 401. There are over 50 public green spaces nearby for residents to relax in, like Oshawa Civic Recreation Complex and Cordova Valley Park, and they are very well-distributed, making it easy to get to them.
