Christie Pits (officially Willowvale Park until 1983) is a public recreational area in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Sports facilities on the site include three baseball diamonds (one full-sized and fenced named "Dominico Field"), basketball courts, a soccer/rugby/football field, and the Alex Duff Memorial Outdoor Pool; and a splash pad and adjacent outdoor ice rink which are located on the west edge of the park at 779 Crawford Street.

[10] One of the baseball diamonds was being used for a series of softball games between two local amateur teams, one of which predominantly consisted of Jewish players.

The Jewish youths at the game responded to the display, supporters of both sides poured in from the surrounding streets and a riot ensued.

[11] The Toronto Daily Star captured the event the next day, "While groups of Jewish and Gentile youths wielded fists and clubs in a series of violent scraps for possession of a white flag bearing a swastika symbol at Willowvale Park last night, a crowd of more than 10,000 citizens, excited by cries of 'Heil Hitler' became suddenly a disorderly mob and surged wildly about the park and surrounding streets, trying to gain a view of the actual combatants, which soon developed in violence and intensity of racial feeling into one of the worst free-for-alls ever seen in the city.

A Heritage Toronto plaque was installed at Christie Pits Park on the 75th anniversary of the riot in August 2008.
