What Is the Milton Velodrome?

The Mattamy National Cycling Centre is a world-class indoor velodrome in Milton’s Harrison neighbourhood. It features a 250-metre wooden oval track made from Siberian spruce. It was built for the 2015 Pan Am Games, but today, it’s open to the public.


The Centre also features an elevated viewing gallery, a fitness studio with group classes, a cafe with healthy eats, and on-site bike repair with cycling gear and accessories.


Elite training sessions typically run in the early mornings and evenings. Public drop-in times, clinics, and rentals are available weekly and on weekends.

Booking Your First Session

To book your first ride, you need to create an account on the Town of Milton’s online portal. It only takes a few minutes to enter your contact info, set a password, and browse session times.


New to track cycling? Start with a Learn to Ride clinic. Already confident on a bike? Try a public drop-in session where instructors are on hand to answer questions or offer tips. There are a few ways to pay:


  • Single-ride passes are perfect for first-timers or casual visits
  • Punch passes provide discounted rates when you buy in bundles
  • Memberships give you unlimited access and extra perks like early booking windows


Popular weekend sessions and beginner clinics fill up fast, sometimes a week in advance. If you can’t make it, you must cancel 24 hours ahead to avoid penalties and free up the spot for someone else.

Resident Perks and Community Days

If you live in the Harrison neighbourhood, you’re eligible for exclusive deals like 10% off punch passes. To claim your discount, you must show proof of address when booking or use your account settings to apply the discount.


The Centre hosts a monthly Community Ride with local cycling clubs and residents. These rides are friendly, fun, and a great way to meet fellow riders of all levels.


Curious but not quite ready to commit? Look for the free Try the Track demo days. These events include a short safety briefing, gear rental, and a few laps under supervision.


Sign up for the Mattamy Centre’s email newsletter or check the on-site community board for updates on upcoming events, new classes, and seasonal discounts.

Gear Rentals and Local Shops

The Centre offers bike and helmet rentals. Prices are reasonable, and sizing is available for youth and adults. Gear can run out quickly on busy days, so we recommend booking your rental when you register for your session.

  • Respect others: Slower riders stick to the bottom, while faster riders move up. Communicate, call out passes, and avoid sudden stops

2025 Milton Real Estate Year in Review

By Flowers Team Real Estate • January 21, 2026
A Year of Market Reset and Renewed Opportunity The Milton housing market in 2025 told a story of shifting tides, cautious optimism, and improving affordability. As interest rate pressures and economic uncertainty reshaped the real estate landscape across the GTA, Milton followed suit with a cooling in sales activity, a modest price correction, and signs of a more balanced market ahead. Here’s a full look back at how real estate in Milton unfolded through the year — and what it could mean for buyers and sellers as we move into 2026. Home Prices Ease But Remain Resilient Milton’s average home price across all property types in 2025 was $1,019,297, down 4.77% from the $1,070,342 recorded in 2024. This dip marks a reset from pandemic-era price surges, bringing more affordability back into the market — a trend echoed across the Greater Toronto Area. Detached homes saw the highest average of the year at $1,257,060, while semis averaged $970,490, and townhomes came in at $862,104. Condo apartments and condo townhouses remained the most accessible options, averaging $593,200 and $686,507, respectively. Sales Activity Slows in a High-Inventory Environment In total, 1,580 homes were sold in Milton in 2025, with activity peaking in July and tapering off significantly by December — which recorded just 55 sales. This marked a clear slowdown from 2024, when consumer confidence was still relatively strong in the earlier part of the year. By housing type: Detached sales totalled 718 Semi-detached sales: 168 Townhouses: 474 Condo apartments: 146 Condo townhouses: 61 The cooling in demand was not unexpected. As TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld put it: “The GTA housing market became more affordable in 2025... Once households are convinced that the economy and labour market are on a solid footing, sales will increase as pent-up demand is satisfied.” Inventory Rises, Shifting the Balance of Power Milton saw a significant boost in listing activity in 2025, with 6,246 new listings, up 45.8% from 4,285 in 2024. Detached homes led the surge, accounting for 2,141 new listings throughout the year. This influx gave buyers more selection and negotiating power. With the sales-to-new-listing ratio hovering near 0.5 , the market leaned toward balanced to buyer-friendly conditions , especially in the latter half of the year. TRREB’s Jason Mercer emphasized the broader implications: “GTA households must be confident in their employment situation before committing to long-term monthly mortgage payments, even in this more affordable market.”

Milton Real Estate Market: December 2025

By Flowers Team Real Estate • January 8, 2026
Home Prices Hold Steady While Sales Cool to End the Year As 2025 wrapped up, Milton’s housing market mirrored broader trends across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), where economic uncertainty and interest rate pressures continued to shape buyer and seller behaviour. However, improved affordability and stabilized pricing in Milton may be setting the stage for a more active market in 2026. Affordability Improves as Prices Dip Annually The average sale price in Milton for December 2025 settled at $973,454 , marking a modest 0.92% increase month-over-month from November’s $964,583. While prices held steady to close out the year, we saw an 8.93% decline compared to December 2024 , when the average price stood at $1,068,920. This softening in prices aligns with what Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Daniel Steinfeld observed across the GTA: “The GTA housing market became more affordable in 2025 as selling prices and mortgage rates trended lower... Once households are convinced that the economy and labour market are on a solid footing, sales will increase as pent-up demand is satisfied.”
