Finding love on the North Shore
Updated on December 19, 2025
Had enough of dating apps? You’re not alone. Break free from the digital realm! In this article, we’re presenting four activities to find love in the real world: participating in a group sport, visiting a dog park, taking a cooking class, and volunteering.
Volunteer your time
Engaging in volunteer activities provides an opportunity to meet people who share your values and passions. These collaborative settings often promote sincere and enriching interactions. And, who knows, by devoting time to causes close to your heart, you may forge deep relationships that could even turn into a love story.
Volunteer centres on the North Shore:
Visit a dog park
Dog owners have an excellent opportunity to start conversations. At the dog park, topics for conversations abound: “Are they male or female? How old is he? What’s her breed? What’s his name?”
Making the first move is so much easier when you’re with a dog! Don’t have one? Ask a friend if you can borrow theirs. They’ll be happy for you to take their four-legged friend for a stroll.
Some dog parks accessible by public transit:
Join a sports club
As well as helping you keep fit, joining a sports club is a great way to meet people who share your passion for physical activity. Whether it’s a running, hiking, climbing or pickleball club, the most important thing is to want to go and return regularly.

Sign up for a cooking class
Taking a group cooking class is an excellent way to meet new people, make new friends, and maybe even find love. You could even choose to enjoy the meals you make at home, with a nice bottle of Sauvignon.

You’re more likely to find love on a bus or train than in a car. Find the shortest route to one of these activities with our trip planner.
