Drop-in Recreation Classes in Downtown Toronto
Downtown rec centres are a real value if you live or work between Bathurst and Sherbourne. John Innes (Sherbourne and Queen), Wallace Emerson (Dufferin and Dupont), and Harrison Pool over in Trinity Bellwoods all run busy weekday schedules. Don't sleep on Regent Park Aquatic Centre either — it's a beautiful building with one of the warmest pools in the city.
