Esther Shiner Stadium is a multi-purpose outdoor sports facility in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in North York, on the north-west corner of Bathurst Street and Finch Avenue West. Its capacity is 3,000[1] and is currently the home of the North York Astros of the Canadian Soccer League.
The stadium plays host to many sporting events including Canadian football, soccer, and athletics.
The stadium was built in June 1984, and was originally named North York Civic Stadium. But was renamed in 1988 in honour of former City of North York Councilor Esther Shiner. In 2004 the stadium was closed down, and reopened on September 15, 2005 and was upgraded with a new artificial playing surface and running track[1].
