Esther Shiner Stadium

Esther Shiner Stadium is a sports facility with an artificial turf field and running track that accommodates around 3000 spectators. The facility includes multiple dressing rooms and multipurpose spaces for various activities.

The facility opened in 1984 as North York Civic Stadium and was renamed in 1988 to honor a former local councillor. This renaming recognized her contributions to the region's development.

The stadium serves as a hub for local soccer teams and draws crowds who follow matches featuring North Toronto Nitros and other clubs. These games shape the area's sports culture and bring together the community.

The stadium is located at Bathurst Street and Finch Avenue West and is easy to reach. Visitors can navigate to the site using public transit and look for the main street intersections to find it.

York University used this ground as their football home from the 1980s until 1995 when they built their own facility on campus. This shift reflected the growing importance of university sports in the region.
