Davisville Aquatic Community Recreation Centre​


The City is planning to build a new aquatic and multi-use community centre on the Davisville Junior Public School site Opens in new window. The facility will include two indoor swimming pools and several multi-purpose rooms to serve various community needs. This facility is part of a larger community hub project that combines education, recreation and social activities to support a rapidly growing community.

Project Timeline​

  • November 2020 to March 2022: Design phase
  • April 2022 to June 2024: Construction phase
The timeline is subject to change.

About the Project​

The new Davisville Aquatic Community Recreation Centre will be located on the Davisville Junior Public School site, near Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue. The aquatic facility will be a separate three-storey building located west of the school, facing Davisville Avenue.

The partnership with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) will allow for a shared-use of the space. The school will have access to the aquatic facility’s swimming pools and the City will have access to the school’s double gymnasium, ancillary space and parking garage outside of school hours to support City recreation programming.

A covered walkway will connect the Davisville Aquatic Community Recreation Centre to Davisville Junior Public School as well as an underground tunnel connecting the school’s parking garage.

The facility will have new accessible amenities to support an array of dynamic recreation programming for pre-school, child, adult and older adult groups and include the following components:

  • Indoor swimming pool for lane and leisure swim programs
  • Indoor leisure tot pool with an entry ramp suitable for water play
  • An aquatic viewing area
  • Gender-neutral change rooms and washrooms
  • Multi-purpose program rooms and community space
Davisville Junior Public School is currently under construction. The construction of the aquatic facility will begin once the school is complete.

Ah,, CS&P. I had some hope that the city portion of this project might improve it a bit. But that seems unlikely.

Their design philosophy seems to consist of "let's do some extruded large windows, but also some extruded over hangs" and that's about it from their portfolio page.

Little imagination in terms of shape layers and material expression tbh. Love me some forgettable civic place making!

As seen from the rear of the site:

There was a rip in the hoarding that allowed for a sneak peak, though unfortunately there also happened to be a tree in the way.

Around the corner of the site there was an area that allowed for better view into the site and its muddy conditions, however, the sun also happened to be directly overhead. Ah well, at least the back of the school is well visible.

Apparently this project is already too small!

According to a report to a recent Planning and Priorities Ctte meeting at the TDSB.

Report Link: https://pub-tdsb.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=8381

From said report:

In 2015 the Ministry provided funding for a 731 pupil place replacement school for Davisville Jr. PS / Spectrum Alt. Sr. School. The project needs to be expanded with additional classrooms to address the unprecedented growth in the Midtown area. The new school is nearly complete and is expected to be open and operating in September 2021.This project was submitted for consideration during the 2019-20 Capital Priorities cycle, but was not funded because the Ministry staff did not consider the accommodation pressureas significant when compared to other projects submitted by school boards around the province
