North Toronto Memorial Community Centre

200 Eglinton Ave W, Toronto, ON M4R 1A7

1 free session

North Toronto Memorial Community Centre opened in 1993 at 200 Eglinton Avenue West, inside a 19th-century clay pit. Eglinton Park’s steep western banks are excavation faces of the Pears brickyard, which dug clay here from 1885. Oleson Worland Architects designed the building around that setting, running a glass wall along the north side so the pool deck and gym look straight out at the tennis courts — which the City floods into two artificial ice rinks each winter. The design took a Governor General’s Medal in Architecture in 1994, an unusual thing for a municipal recreation building.

One point worth stating plainly: the “Memorial” is not the centre’s own. It shares the name of the adjacent North Toronto Memorial Arena, a separate building on Orchard View Boulevard that Veterans Affairs Canada lists in its National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials, dedicated in 1965 to North Toronto’s dead of both world wars and rededicated on Remembrance Day 2017.

The centre closed for eighteen months of repairs and reopened in June 2019 after a $9.25 million programme covering the roof and skylight, the pool, change rooms, gym floor and a new universal change room.

It is one of the few venues here with an outdoor pool as well as an indoor one, plus an indoor track, a weight room and craft rooms. Most sessions are paid; the schedule marks which are free.
