Dataset contains 4 tabs:

1. Registered Programs. Each row of the spreadsheet describes a course of a registered program. Course_ID is unique identifier. Recreational programs fall under various categories.

There are multiple courses running at one location.

Drop-In Participation is an informal involvement in a program where space may permit in an activity, and allow for a pay as you go option (e.g. fitness class, Aquafit class). A drop-in course runs under a category, on schedule, and has boundaries in regards age of registrants. You can get information on course location from Locations tab by LocationID. There are multiple courses running at one location.
3. Locations. Each row of the spreadsheet describes a location. LocationID is unique identifier. A location has a name, is characterized by a type (park, rec centre), address, and short description, may be fully or partially accessible, and may have a parent location.
4. Facilities. Each row of the spreadsheet describes a facility. FacilityID is unique identifier. Facility is described by a Type (Display Name) and has multiple assets. 'Facility Rating' column contains values of facility rates (used to learn about amenities that might be available at each facility - see metadata). Facilities of some types can be permitted - 'Permit' column contains information on necessary permit. You can get information on facility's location from Locations tab by LocationID.

Comments:
The file contains data on recreation programs presented in the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry, and Recreation web site. The information in data repositories that are sources for the website is updated on daily and reflects situation as of 1 day prior to dataset update. Changes might not be reflected right away in the dataset due to processing lags. Examples of such are program cancellations, community centres closures, locations change, etc. In cases where data changes require additional time for implementation this gap may exceed 24 hours. The Parks, Forestry, and Recreation Division makes every effort to keep this Open Data set updated and accurate.
