About archery in Toronto

Toronto's four ranges cover an unusually wide spread for one city. The standout is E.T. Seton Park, Toronto's only public outdoor range and one of just two in the entire country, free and open year-round along the Don River, though it has been temporarily closed since late 2024 for Metrolinx Ontario Line construction. For indoor shooting, Canada Archery Online runs a four-lane range and pro shop in Leaside and sponsors the Canadian National Team, while Archery Source Canada offers indoor lanes, lessons, and a full shop. And Hart House Archery Club, in the heart of the University of Toronto, has been coaching archers since 1919 with all equipment provided. Whether you want an outdoor session or structured indoor coaching, the city has a real option.
