It is the home ground for the Cronulla Sharks rugby league team, which represents the Cronulla and Sutherland Shire area. It is still colloquially known as Shark Park or Endeavour Field.
The stadium was built in 1960 and has a nominal capacity of 22,000. The Toyota Motor Company currently hold the naming rights to the stadium. The Sharkies Leagues Club sits beside Endeavour Field. The ground attendance record is 22,302, which was set when the Sharks took on local rivals the St. George Illawarra Dragons in May 2005.

On 21 April 2006, the Federal Government announced a A$9.6 million grant will be given to the Cronulla Sharks to upgrade Toyota Park.[1] The upgrade to Toyota Stadium will include a new covered stand to seat over 1,500 spectators at the southern end. The new stand is expected to be complete for the 2008 season. Renovations are also planned for the ET Stand and the Peter Burns Stand. Facilities planned for the Leagues Club include a new swimming pool and a gym.
