Withrow Park has facilities for both organized and pick-up sport available all over the park. These spring, summer and fall activities are great for kids, teens and adults who want to get outside and have some fun. City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation also runs a variety of house leagues for kids at the park.
Tennis Courts
There are two public tennis courts at the north end of the park open from April to October. Use is limited to half an hour turns, and you can claim your spot in line by hanging your tennis racquet on one of two pegs that represent the courts.
Ball Hockey
In spring and summer ball hockey takes over the ice rink with the Withrow Ball Hockey League leading the charge. They have games there from April to June/July for children and teens.
Soccer/Rugby/Football Field
The south-west corner of Withrow Park has a soccer field with a small washroom facility and a set of bleachers. Great for pick-up games, this area is also used by the city to run House League Soccer for youth.
Baseball Diamond/T-ball Diamond
There is a large baseball diamond in the center of the park, down the hill from the soccer field. Near the north end of the park, there's a smaller diamond next to the fenced-in children's play area.
The Wading Pool
Only open in the peak of summer, the wading pool is a shallow pool for children located within the fenced-in area at the north end of the park. Great for cooling off, the wading pool is a popular spot on even mildly warm days. No dogs are allowed inside this area and parents need to keep an eye on their children as they use the wading pool.
