A sneak peek of the new 67,000-square-foot York Recreation Centre
The grand opening for the new York Recreation Centre isn't until this spring — but community members had a chance to look inside the 67,000-square-foot facility on the Family Day long weekend.
The fully-accessible centre was built on the southeast corner of Eglinton Avenue West and Black Creek Drive.
The facility includes a six lane, 25-metre pool, a double gymnasium, fitness studio, weight room, indoor walking and running track, and five multi-purpose rooms.
The facility will be offering free programming in aquatics, arts, camps, fitness, sports, and more.
There are also more than 100 parking spaces on-site, and the Eglinton subway extension will be nearby when it's complete.
Starting on Feb. 21, the building will be open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. and on weekends from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
