Refining Your Search Results

There are thousands of programs available across the City of Toronto.

  • It will be easier to search for Activities if you already know the names of your local recreation centres.
  • If you don’t know your local recreation centres, you can find them on the Parks and Community Recreation Centres map or through your preferred mapping solution.
  • You can use the “Where” filter to refine search results to your preferred recreation centres

Using Where and Activity filters

  • With the Where and Activities filters, you can browse and refine your results to the available activities at your preferred centres, making it easier to find programs within a certain locations or activity category.
  • If you have selected your preferred recreation centres, only the available programs at the selected centres will show up in the Activities filter – the button right next to Where filter.
  • Likewise, if you have selected an Activity category in the Activities filter, only the available locations that offer the activity will be shown in the Where filter.
  • The use of two filters will affect the results of the other, helping you target available activities at available locations.

      Using Activity Names/Keywords

      • Searching with an activity name in the search bar will refine all the search terms related to that activity. Example: “swim, or swimming”.
      • Only use one activity name at a time.
      • You can use the Where filter to view the available locations for that activity to find your preferred centres.
      • You can use the Activity filter to view the available programs within that activity category. Example: “Swim – Youth Ultra Swim 1-3”.
      • Make sure you clear your search term if you are receiving “No Results” or if you want to search for new programs.

                  Registering online is the fastest and easiest way to register for programs. If you need internet access, select City locations offer free Wi-Fi you can use with a personal device.

                    Don’t have a credit card? Visit a Community Recreation Centre or Civic Centre to add prepaid credit (from $10 to $1,000) to your account with cash or debit card. We recommend doing this at least one day before making a payment online or over the phone.

                    8. If your payment at the time of checkout exceeds the prepaid credit, you will need to pay the difference.
