Lawrence Heights Community Recreation & Child Care Centre​

A new Community Recreation and Child Care Centre is coming to the Lawrence Heights neighbourhood as part of the Toronto Community Housing Lawrence Heights Revitalization project . The new facility will be designed with the help of community feedback and is planned to include two indoor pools, a double gymnasium, fitness and dance studios, multi-purpose rooms, and more! The Child Care Centre, which will be located inside the building, will accommodate 88 children.

Project Timeline​

• Summer 2022: Hire a design team
• Fall 2022 to Summer 2023: Community engagement
• Fall 2022 to Winter 2023: Design
• Spring 2024: Hire a construction team
• Summer 2027: Construction complete

The timeline is subject to change.

Lawrence Heights Community Recreation and Child Care Centre will be one of the City’s largest new community recreation centres. The new facility will replace the existing Lawrence Heights Community Centre at a new location near Varna Drive and Ranee Avenue. The existing Lawrence Heights Community Centre will remain open until the new facility is built.

The Community Recreation and Child Care Centre will be accessible and achieve a Net Zero emissions building design.

I am embarrassed to say that I have never been up here but corrected that this morning. I like these buildings as they re-establish sensible built-form and morphologies. And this trip also helped me to see what is happening around Yorkdale in a wider context. The recreation centre will be a welcome advancement! Taken 16 May.
