A Community where People Rebuild their Lives

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.
