Seasonal & League Bookings

Toronto’s parks and recreation facilities are our common grounds – the spaces where we come together as a community to meet, celebrate and to build a healthier, more welcoming city.

Booking our facilities for ongoing or seasonal use is completed annually and includes an allocation process that aims to balance the use of our shared spaces.

If you have an annual special event booking you’d like to renew, please visit Special Events in Parks and Recreation Centres for timeline information.

The total time allocated to a group in a single season and the method by which the time is calculated can be found in the 2018-2019 Ice Allocation Entitlements.
