“this is one of the best facilities in the neighbourhood (if not the best), and it definitely sweetens the deal for those living in somehow sketchy Regent Park. Leisure and lane swimming are free! a little unusual thing are co-ed change rooms. showers are right by the pool, so you can only shower in your bathing suit. there are lockers but you need to bring your own lock. most of people just bring their bags to the pool area, where you can keep an eye on them for all the time. the atmosphere is rather relaxed. the slow lane swimming is everything but lane swimming. people stop in the middle or change directions or just hang out to chat. the life guards are not overly strict, so it is usually up to other swimmer to explain to those new to the facility what the lane swimming is, and that there are certain rules (like keeping the direction). anyways, it can be a pleasant experience, but just be patient with others. l eisure swim can be a bit wild, especially on weekends. people just walk in and out - again - the life guards are too busy doing their job I suppose to address people walking in to the pool area in street clothes, just hanging out or maybe waiting for their friends. the hot tub is still not available (as of August 2022) not sure when it's gonna be operational again. anyways, it's free so I can't complain. sometimes there is no soap in showers/washrooms, so you might wanna bring your own. a beautiful park outside - in summer you can just dry out there. the facility has hair driers though. PS> just read the recent reviews about thefts plaguing the place… maybe that explains all those people walking in and out the change rooms in street clothes… I wish there was more supervision. anyways, if you live near by just walk and don't bring any valuables with you. I keep my bag with clothes, a towel and shoes by the swimming pool, never gtt robbed yet (know the wood).”

“Very interesting Gothic building. There are lots of dog walkers all around the building. Great place for an afternoon walk. Excellent views of the lake. I didn't notice any availability of tours of the inside of the building.”

“I enjoy the skating. The city staff are rude and look bored while doing nothing. It's pathetic that they have no interest in even faking some customer service. Why do they have to be grumpy and rude when we want a skate aid for our child. Here's a hot tip, put them up against the boards on the ice at the start of the skate they all get used. Try smiling, being friendly, and thankful to the people that pay you just like we do at our jobs.”

“It's so incredible to be able to have spaces like these for everyone to settle in, socialize and for children to develop their imagination and creativity! York's Toronto Public library is incredible! The unit has several floors, with each floor specifically for children, adults, academic books and others. The space for children is located on the first floor, and in the stepdaughter's area there are some convenience stores. There is entertainment for all ages, including lots of interaction to develop children's logical reasoning and their sense of division and teamwork. The place also has a family bathroom and bathrooms adapted for use by children, and use by people with physical disabilities: having support bars, doors with automatic openings, security alarms, automatic sinks and trash cans and changing tables at the appropriate height for wheelchair users and people without disability. The other floors are accessible by both stairs and elevators. The library has some copies in Braille to serve people with visual impairments, in addition to the assistance of librarians. The library is located on the same premises as the York activity center and is close to the subway and several bus stops. For those who use a car, there is private parking in the building, and paid spaces on the street. It's very worth knowing. For those who don't yet have a library card, it's very simple to do and the website has all the necessary documents, and the card comes out on the same day: you need the card to borrow books.”

“Great community centre in my neighborhood. I enjoy their lane swim in their clean pool with adjoins showers and change room. I also use their gym for badminton and pickle ball drop in play. Their gym is also well equipped at affordable fees.”

“Large and spacious, with a good amount of seating for group or independent work. Plenty of lounge areas, as well as dedicated hub areas for teens, makers etc Pretty quiet for the most part, even with a teen and children's area. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the facility is clean and well kept Great study spot compared to other TPL and York region libraries”

“One of the employees helped me save over $1,000 related to a transfer of car. The employee did not need to offer this advice as she would not have profited from it. And when I had to return to Service Ontario the next day, she allowed me to skip the line. Very grateful of this employee.”
