Completed in 1975

Don Montgomery Community Recreation Centre was completed in 1975 and also carries the alternate name Mid-Scarborough Community Recreation Centre. The City of Toronto runs it as a multipurpose facility with programs for all ages, and its ice is one of the 121 indoor and outdoor pads the city operates.

The sheet listed in the city's indoor rink data is Rink 1 (A), with a pad of 185 by 85 feet. Youth hockey is the constant tenant. The Scarborough Ice Raiders run their Little Raiders program here on Saturday mornings, teaching basic skating and hockey skills as the season progresses. The club's Initiation 8 players hold their scrimmages and games at Don Montgomery while practising at Agincourt Arena, and its Atom through Bantam teams play all their games here, with weekly practices at McGregor Park Community Centre or Agincourt Arena.

The building has been reworked since. An adaptive-reuse project converted a former indoor rifle range in the centre into a multi-purpose, youth-focused space for the City of Toronto's Parks, Forestry and Recreation division. Its interior is a play of light and colour, with walls and fins set out in what the design team called a "pick-up sticks" pattern, and the city now lists the result as an enhanced youth space.
