Parkdale Activity – Recreation Centre

Welcome to the Parkdale Activity - Recreation Centre. We work with members on individual issues of poverty, mental health, addictions, homelessness and food security.

The simple act of walking through our doors is what makes a person a PARC member - choosing to give back, create and grow is how PARC members contribute and build our community.

The idea of PARC began in 1977 when a group of volunteers observed the large number of adults living in Parkdale rooming and boarding houses. Many were survivors of the psychiatric system, had little money, few family contacts and no real place to go and connect with peers. On March 17th 1980 PARC opened its doors as a pilot community mental health program.

Our passion for providing member-driven programming, employment, food security, social space and safe supportive affordable housing, has evolved and grown to meet our members’ needs for over 40 years.

We are located in the community of Parkdale, Toronto.
