Field Recreation is investing in recreation with the development of The Sports Complex at YZD, a new year-round sports destination opening this winter. The complex will provide much-needed indoor and outdoor space for athletes, families, schools and community organizations across Toronto.

Developed and operated by Field Recreation in partnership with Premier Racquet Clubs, North Toronto Soccer, Community Sports Partners, JAM Sports, and SportStars, The Sports Complex at YZD will span more than 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor sports and recreation space.

The Sports Complex at YZD will feature two full-size soccer fields, and a 50,000-square-foot racquet sports facility. The facility will serve everyone from first-time players and recreational users to competitive athletes, sports organizations, schools and community groups.

“Across Toronto, demand for sports fields and court space continues to outpace supply,” said Robert Ortali, founder, Field Recreation Inc. “At Field Recreation, we believe in building active communities together. The Sports Complex at YZD was designed to help address the growing need for sports infrastructure while creating a place where people can connect, compete, stay active and belong.”

The complex is being designed with seasonal maintenance and safety as priorities, including on-site management and security personnel, video monitoring systems, first aid resources, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and professional maintenance programs for all fields and courts.

YZD is the transformation of the 370-acre former Downsview Airport lands, led by Toronto-based Northcrest Developments.
