The City of Toronto broke ground on the Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre, a state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance the local community’s access to recreational and wellness services.
Located east of the Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue intersection, this new aquatic and multi-use facility will feature a wide range of amenities and will offer a variety of programming spaces and multi-purpose rooms, which together, are designed to accommodate both individual fitness goals and group activities, making it an ideal place for residents to connect, stay active and engage with their neighbours.
“When completed, the Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre will enhance the quality of life for residents of all ages and abilities in this community. This new facility will not only serve as a hub for health and wellness, but it will also bring our community together, providing a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect, stay active and build a stronger, more resilient neighbourhood,” said Councillor Josh Matlow (Toronto-St. Paul’s).
Key highlights of the future Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre will include:
State-of-the-art 25-metre swimming pool suitable for both recreational swimming and swim training
Warm-water leisure pool for therapeutic use and family-friendly programming
Fitness centre with equipment for cardio, strength training and fitness classes
Community meeting rooms and multipurpose spaces for group activities, workshops and events
Accessible design to ensure that all community members can fully enjoy the facility
The Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre was developed with sustainability in mind. Featuring energy-efficient systems and environmentally responsible design elements, the new centre will share facilities with the new Davisville Junior Public School through a partnership with the Toronto District School Board. The school will have access to the facility’s swimming pools and the City will have access to the school’s double gymnasium and underground parking garage outside of school hours to support City recreation programming.
Expected to open in 2027, the Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre represents a significant investment in public infrastructure, reinforcing the City’s commitment to improving public amenities and supporting vibrant, active communities, as well as the City’s commitment to building net zero emissions facilities.
“The groundbreaking of the Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre is an exciting moment for Toronto. This new facility reflects our commitment to creating accessible, inclusive spaces that promote well-being and provide opportunities for people to lead healthier, more connected lives,” said Mayor Olivia Chow. |
