Toronto Track and Field Centre

The Metro Toronto Track and Field Centre is located on the northern edge of the York University campus. The facility was developed in 1978 by the former Metro Park & Culture Department, and its operations and programming are coordinated by a committee that includes members from the City of Toronto, York University, and track and field organizations. The indoor fieldhouse can accommodate over 900 people, including spectators, while the outdoor facility can accommodate over 2,500 spectators. Over 80 special events are held at the Toronto Track and Field Centre each year, attracting approximately 200,000 people.
