Nice walking track. Unfortunately there are kids running on the track before and after their class. Mothers, toddlers and baby stroller are on the track too. They don’t follow the walking and the runner lane. Inform the staff there and he said they are allowed. Sad!

Great place to play indoor ball hockey, soccer, lacrosse. League play. Very busy arena parking sometimes can be difficult.

The place is located in Agincourt area. The Recreation centre is a medium-size centre that can be packed at times. There is no common room for stretching if one wanted that even when the rooms are empty and no programs are running at the time. You wont have access into any of the room unless you are a member or participant of a program.
Mens lockers, considering the large number of visitors, is a joke. There are only 8-half the standard size lockers inside the upstairs mens washroom.
Washroom services on the weekend need more attention. Hair and dirt can be found in the shower room on Sundays.
Track rules are not followed and no staff to reinforce the rules and guidelines that are posted on the wall. Kids can be walking and running unattended in a staggering line and sometimes in opposite direction. Also a lot of people won't say "excecuse me, " when they need to pass you. So one need to check their blind spot.
Most receptionist staff are nice but you may encounter the odd one who may ask people to sign in for the track, even if one may get in the facility to use the washroom. Also there seems to be a fault in their elevator, and I reported it, but no one seems to care. The elevator drops about half an inch as soon as one steps into it.
Lastly, the parking lot can get full early morning due to the programs the centre hosts. No free or drop in programs except for table tennis and stretch with music.

Not a bad space / ball hockey and turf field - boards a little beaten up, not a lot of spectator viewing to sit

Great place and very clean. I found out they have programs that you can go and do yoga or Zumbia exercise. Just something new for me.

It is welcoming and a great place for children to connect with others. Their summer camp coordinators were a little disappointing.that also I believe could be the policy they follow.

We worked on a community mural here with Next Generation Arts, youth and seniors for an international mural. It isn't large like your typical community centre in Scarborough but it's always filled with great activity and chatter. I loved that the centre was always filled with music and fun. The staff here are just phenomenal as well and so very supportive. Leanna, Christine, Eileen, Eddie, and the volunteers at the front desk.you make the place work like clockwork! Thank you for the wonderful summer experience! It is truly one to never forget.:)

Recently discovered this place. I use it for its indoor walking track. There are many programs fir kids that you need to register beforehand. Zumba, hockey, karate etc. The track is 200 meters and it has 2 walking lanes, one for the walkers and one for runners.
In the morning you might catch a live hockey match

Parking of Stephen Leacock Community Center is not big enough, in most time, must share the parking lot of the school next by.

We went to this senior centre for ballroom dancing (2 songs for ballroom dancing and 2 songs for line dancing) on a Saturday night (7: 30 pm to 10: 30 pm). Note that this dance activity for seniors (60+) only takes place every second Saturday night. Admission fee is $5 for a couple.
The dance floor is good, but smaller than L’Amoureax Community Centre. However, the people there are very sincere and you feel welcome.
The ballroom music played by the volunteer DJ (a very kind senior gentleman) was kind of boring with no energy. The kind of music that will make you sleep. This is the only disappointment.
