Cherry Beach Sports Fields

Cherry Beach Sports Fields

Cherry Beach Sports Fields was unveiled by Waterfront Toronto in September 2008 and includes two standard competition fields for soccer and lacrosse. The fields are constructed of artificial turf with a 20–25 year lifespan, allowing for all-season use.

Sports such as field hockey, football, and ultimate frisbee are also easily played on these fields. The artificial turf is made with a recycled rubber compound to ensure easy maintenance and maintain a standard surface quality.

With views of Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline, the complex offers a great space for friendly group practice of soccer, lacrosse, frisbee, field hockey, and recreational activities.
