Recreation

On 730 Military Trail is Tam Heather Country Club. Tam Heather opened in 1973 as a curling club with eight sheets of ice, then two years later in 1975, the club expanded by adding five tennis courts, three of which were covered in the winter with a bubble. Thirty four years later, in 2009, a four court year-round covered structure was built.
Located along the southern boundary of the neighbourhood is Morningside Park, a municipal park managed by Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division.
