Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre
A community where people rebuild their lives.
Welcome to PARC – the Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre.
We work with people facing mental health and substance use challenges, homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity. Our drop-in centre operates as a community gathering space offering social and recreational activities and a wide range of services including supportive housing, voluntary financial trusteeship and employment support. PARC provides two meals a day in the drop in and operates 365 days a year.
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. PARC refers to those attending our drop-in, programs and services as PARC members. Membership registration is offered to those interested in voting at our AGM or becoming involved in PARC Board committees and governance.
