Edithvale Community Centre

131 Finch Ave W, Toronto, ON M2N 2H8

Edithvale Community Centre spent twenty-six years inside a closed public school before getting a building of its own. The replacement opened at 131 Finch Avenue West in October 2010, funded with $14.75 million of developer levies. From 1984 the centre operated out of the former Edithvale Public School, a Toronto District School Board property that had stopped being a school years earlier and was leased to the City. More than fifty local organisations used it.

Getting out took a land swap. In 2008 the City traded two parcels to the school board, took a larger one back, and paid roughly $2.9 million to settle the difference — which is how the new centre came to stand on the southeast corner of Finch and Edithvale. At 50,000 square feet it is double the building it replaced, and it was the first new community centre the City had opened in five years.

ZAS Architects gave it a T-shaped plan around a double-height lobby: a double gymnasium, an elevated indoor running track, fitness and dance studios, a weight room, craft rooms, preschool rooms, a demonstration kitchen and a banquet hall. There is no pool.

The site sits over a buried tributary of the Don, and the landscape retells it above ground through a constructed wet meadow, biofilters and permeable paving. A green roof of wildflowers absorbs stormwater; a curved 55-metre pavilion in the park follows the slope of the ground.
