Attention bargain hunters: Looking for a way to enjoy Toronto’s top sports facilities without spending a penny?
Residents and visitors will have a chance to get inside gyms, clubs, tracks and more without paying for memberships or tickets as part of the 16th annual Doors Open Toronto this weekend.
In honour of the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games, the 2015 theme is sports, recreation and leisure. Doors of the city’s private and public recreational facilities will be thrown open on Saturday and Sunday.
The event offers “free and rare access to more than 155 architecturally, historically, culturally and socially significant buildings” in Toronto, the city website says.
