The Downsview Lands located in the centre of this neighbourhood can be accessed from a gate at the corner of Keele Street and Sheppard Avenue. This will be one of
Toronto's largest parks when it is completely developed. Recreational
facilities at this park currently include baseball diamonds, soccer pitches and a running track.
Downsview Dells Park located at the north-end of this neighbourhood is part of a scenic 4.7 km. paved trail that follows the Black Creek Valley north to Black Creek Pioneer Village, a restored pre-Confederation village at Steeles Avenue West. Downsview also contains a number of smaller recreational parks whose facilities range from tennis courts and baseball diamonds to children's playgrounds.
The Downsview Arena at 1630 Wilson Avenue offers public
skating and hockey league programs to the local community. To the south of the arena is the Downsview Lawn Bowling Green.
The Downsview Public Library at 2793 Keele Street offers a
myriad of programs for adults, children and preschoolers.
Yorkdale Mall and North York Sheridan Mall both have
movie theatres.
