Visit your local recreation centre or library branch for family-friendly activities from March 16 to 20
Township of King, Ont. (March 9, 2026) —March Break doesn’t have to mean screen time marathons or last‑minute planning. King Township is making it easy for families with a week full of active play, creative fun and hands‑on adventures at local recreation centres and library branches—giving parents plenty of great, close‑to‑home options to choose from.
Recreational programs
Burn off energy at Zancor Centre in King City, which will be packed with ways for kids to stay active and happy all week long. Families can lace up for skating, dive into swimming, or hit the ice for shinny hockey. There’s also a lineup of drop‑in sports including soccer, basketball, badminton, pickleball, volleyball, lacrosse and frisbee. Public skate and shinny hockey times are also available at Nobleton and Trisan arenas. Pay-as-you-go; pre-registration is required for recreational sports.

March Break Bash and Sensory Swim
Enjoy some therapeutic recreation on Wednesday, Mar. 18 at Zancor Centre, during our free ‘March Break Bash and Sensory Swim’ delivered in partnership with Children’s Treatment Network and Seneca College. The event begins at 9:30 a.m. with activities led by Seneca College students, then continues in the pool with a sensory swim from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. With reduced capacity and lower noise levels, these programs offer a welcoming space for children of all abilities and their caregivers.
