Neighbourhood soccer games all accept drop-in players – just talk to the players and join the game. Saturdays 4 to 6 p.m. – co-ed soccer.
For years now, this has been mainly but not only Sudanese players. There are always a few taxis parked on Dufferin Park Avenue while their drivers play.
"We do a few warm-up drills and then play with however many show. It's a lot of fun."

From cricket organizer Hasanka: “On Sundays we play an informal game of cricket at the park, on the soccer field. We play with a tennis ball, so no protective equipment is required. If you'd like to join us, just walk up and introduce yourself. This is not a club with membership fees, just a group of amateur cricket enthusiasts. Beginners (and spectators) are welcome. We hope to see you there.”

Contact: Matt Price, matt.price@utoronto.ca
Matt can put you in touch with the ultimate frisbee players. He himself can’t play right now because he fell off a cliff as high as a four-story building, early in July. He not only survived but – after intensive care and some very skilful surgery – he’s begun to walk again, still using a cane. Seeing him walking in the park is a great thrill for the many people in this neighbourhood who know Matt (but nothing compared to the thrill for his family!). Matt says he’s so amazed that he’s alive, and his thankfulness is quite contagious.

This is the summer of the temporary skateboard park. It’s been set up at Dufferin Grove while its home, Scadding Court Rink, is torn up and replaced with a new rink surface. If kids want to borrow a skateboard to try it out, park staff have three good boards, with helmets, to lend. Kids need good I.D. and a signed consent from their parent or guardian. For more information, call the park at 416 392-0913 or write: info@dufferinpark.ca
