TONearby is a free mobile and web app that helps Torontonians discover nearby drop-in activities, recreation programs, parks and community centres using up-to-date City of Toronto open data.

TONearby started with a simple frustration: Toronto offers an amazing amount of free and drop-in recreation — swims, skates, gyms, arts programs, playgrounds, courts — but finding what’s actually happening near you, this week, for your ages meant digging through spreadsheets and PDF schedules.

TONearby puts all of it on one map. Pick a spot — home, work, or anywhere — choose your dates and ages, and see every matching drop-in session, park, and community centre around you. Save your favourite places and searches so they are ready for your next visit.

The name is short for TO Nearby: Toronto recreation places and programs near you.
