If you need a new challenge or a change of pace, a new hobby might be just what you’re looking for. Whether you’re creatively inclined or on the hunt for an exciting new way to work out, we’ve got some inspiration to help you find the perfect fit.

Pickleball at Sauga Parks: Looking for a fun way to get active? With minimal equipment required and dozens of courts throughout the city, it’s easy to start playing this popular sport. A whopping 21 of the city’s neighbourhood parks have shared tennis and pickleball courts, while several more facilities have dedicated courts. Learn the game with beginner lessons, available for both residents and non-residents, or join Mississauga Pickleball to have fun with some local fans. Along with the city-owned facilities, recreation centres like Smash Sports have plenty of courts, plus pickleball clinics and coaching.

Rock Climbing at Hub Climbing Mississauga: If you want to develop a hobby that provides a full-body workout while helping you build endurance and sharpening your mental acuity, indoor rock climbing could be a perfect fit. Mississauga’s Hub Climbing indoor gym has plenty of challenges designed for beginner climbers of any age, including top-rope climbing, bouldering and auto-belays. Hub Climbing’s experts are at the ready for introductory lessons and are always excited to welcome new climbers to the community.

Pottery Making at The Pottery Hut: Tap into your inner artist and craft a clay creation with a wheel-throwing or hand-building pottery class at this family-run studio. With single classes and three or eight-week sessions, you can visit as often as you want. The expert artisans will guide you in sculpture, design, textures and technique so you’ll be sure to love every piece you bring home.

Board or Card Games at LVLUP Games: Build your strategic skills and unleash your inner adventurer with LVLUP Games’ extraordinary selection of popular and niche games. In partnership with Mississauga Board Gamers United (MBGU), the shop regularly hosts board game nights for enthusiasts and newbies alike. If cards or role-playing games are more your speed, visit during one of the regular event nights to play popular favourites like Dungeons and Dragons, One Piece or Dice Throne. Or, drop in any time to grab a bite from the café and pick your own game to play.

Go Karting at K1 Speed: Do you feel the need for speed? Experience the ultimate karting experience at Mississauga’s 100% electric indoor race track. Try it out with the Arrive and Drive drop-in (pre-book online for the best availability), or sign up for one of the specialty programs for committed racers. Adults and junior drivers alike can join the Karting Academy to master the craft of karting with expert training, including visits from pro racers. Kids up to age 13 can also join the Junior Race League and compete against fellow juniors for a chance at the podium – and the prize money that comes with it, while adults can participate in their own league, Challenge GP.

Along with these immersive experiences, sports, and special events, Mississauga is also home to hobby shops that can help you charter a course for the perfect pastime.

  • Hobby Hobby: Located in Streetsville, visit this longstanding local shop for a huge selection of remote-controlled vehicles.
  • Sunward Hobbies: With a wide variety of models and miniatures to build or paint, the staff at Sunward can help you find a detail-oriented diversion.
