East Bayfront Community Recreation Centre opens in Queen’s Quay East
I’m thrilled to welcome the new 25,000 sq ft East Bayfront Community Recreation Centre to our fast-growing waterfront neighbourhood for all to enjoy.
With incredible views of the water, opening up to the lakeside promenade, and inclusive and exciting programming, this is the kind of much-needed shared space that will be a hub for gathering, recreation and connection.
The East Bayfront Community Recreation Centre is a key component of waterfront revitalization, providing critical community infrastructure that will support this vibrant and growing neighbourhood. We worked with the development industry and partners to deliver this new facility, located in the base of the new Aqualuna building.
The facility features a full-sized gymnasium, a fitness and dance studio, three multi-purpose rooms and a kitchen. The Centre is open to everyone, and will welcome local
Indigenous-serving organizations to provide programing to their clients in the centre’s many spaces. As people begin to use and enjoy the centre, the City will offer opportunities for gathering, ceremony and celebrating Indigenous cultures. This will culminate in an Indigenous name bestowed to the Centre, complementing other Indigenous naming processes on the city’s waterfront.

What a spectacular journey the World Cup 2026 has been! Toronto truly shone on the world stage, from six thrilling matches, and the energy at Fan Festival, to our incredible community celebrations in every part of the downtown. And while the games may be done, there is still so much fun to be had in our downtown communities this summer.
Summer brings more people and activity to our downtown communities. With more people out and about, I’ve had many conversations about road safety and making sure we can all enjoy our neighbourhoods and get to where we need to go.
