Play Mobile is a City of Toronto sport development initiative, in partnership with Nike, designed to engage children, youth, families and adults in sports across Toronto. Three brightly-decorated vans (designed by Toronto artist Vivian Rosas) are touring the city to provide fun outdoor opportunities for Toronto residents to try a variety of sports.

Play Mobile vans will be visiting locations across the city, including parks and outdoor spaces in Neighbourhood Improvement Areas.

Schedules are weather-dependent and may change without notice.
