About Summer Sports
- During the summer at Dufferin Grove we have few formal activities, that is games that require registration, and many opportunities to join with neighbours in Pickup Sports.
- While Dufferin has no swimming pool, we have a number of oppurtunities for WaterPlay.
- At Dufferin we have a Soccer field, of which about half is also a baseball diamond. The soccer field is in the North East corner of park, at Havelock and Dufferinpark Ave, right across from St Mary's High School.
- We also have a Volleyball (and Badminton) net, strung up near the west side of the playground in the south end of the park.
- During the spring, summer and autumn months the dry rink pads change from ice rinks to roller hockey and Ball Hockey rinks.
- We do not have proper cricket pitch, but Cricket is regularly played on or near the soccer field.
- For many years our Basketball scene has entertained and amazed spectators. We have now four basketball hoops. There are two hoops on the dry pleasures pad of the skating rink and two hoops are on the proper basketball court. Roughly in the north end of the park. A very, very lively scene.
- Many Other Sports can be played from catch to croquet, feel free to set up games, if you have questions or need help from staff@dufferinpark.ca or call 416 392-0913.

From the May 2010 Newsletter:
Community SOCCER and CRICKET times
For about seven years, recreation staff have programmed the soccer field for open (non-league) community soccer and cricket from Saturday 2pm to Sunday night, beginning in May when the grass is in. Neighbourhood people were able to set up times (at no charge) with recreation staff by calling the park clubhouse at 416 392-0913 or emailing staff@dufferinpark.ca. This may no longer be possible – watch for updates.
Queer West Soccer
Description: Pick up soccer in the West End.
Anyone can come along, regardless of if you're a pro or totally new.
This is totally non-competitive and just for fun!
We also encourage those who don't want to play. You can be the cheering section!
4-6pm every Sunday.
Community BALL-HOCKEY times
It may no longer be possible for people to set up informal drop-in (non-league) game times with recreation staff by e-mailing staff@dufferinpark.ca or calling the park clubhouse at 416 392-0913. Watch for updates.
