Christie Pits is a public park in Toronto’s Bloorcourt/Annex area offering recreation space and sports facilities within the city. It occupies a block-scale urban park footprint with a distinctive sloped terrain formed from glacial and fill deposits.

Facilities include sports fields, courts, and open lawn areas, plus a hill used for seasonal sledding and informal gatherings. Playgrounds and organized sports fields make the park a neighborhood recreational hub.

The park is best known locally for community recreation and for a historic public disturbance in 1933 that drew broad public attention. Since then it has continued as a municipally managed urban park serving local residents.

The park lies on the north side of Bloor Street West in central Toronto, adjacent to the Christie subway station and within walking distance of surrounding residential neighborhoods.

• Hill and sledding: A large grassy slope within the park is a well-known local sledding and tobogganing spot in winter and a casual gathering area in summer.
• Transit access: The site is adjacent to the Christie subway station, making it easily accessible by public transit from downtown Toronto.

Christie Pits is a short walk north from Bloor Street West in central Toronto. Take the TTC subway to Christie Station (on the Bloor‑Danforth line) and walk a few blocks north; several bus routes also serve the area.

• Bring a blanket and something to shade a picnic; the small hill and baseball diamonds are where locals gather on summer days.
• Stop by on a summer evening to see neighborhood pickup baseball and cricket games-this is where Toronto shows its informal sporting life.
• If visiting by subway, exit at Christie Station (TTC) and walk north along Christie Street.
