The Power House Recreation Centre

Step inside a piece of Toronto's industrial past turned community gem. The Power House Recreation Centre — once a 1937 steam plant serving Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital — now buzzes with summer programs, drop-in activities, and neighbourhood energy. Whether you're looking to move your body or simply explore a beautifully repurposed space along the lake, this lakeside rec centre offers a surprisingly rich after-work escape on the western waterfront. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
