The Parks & Recreation division brings together all of Toronto’s diverse communities on a common ground. We provide a wide variety of leisure and recreational opportunities that include all Toronto residents. In our centres, parks and playing fields, we encourage communities to help themselves, and aid Torontonians to become the best they can be. We measure our success by quality, satisfaction and community development outcomes. Our parks, playing fields and recreation centres and amenities will be beautiful, clean, safe, and accessible, meeting all our communities’ needs.
