TFC ACADEMY Sports Fields

DOWNSVIEW PARK TORONTO, ON

This project included the construction of three natural turf sports fields for professional soccer training for MLS team Toronto FC. Two of the fields were built to Subair specifications with a USGA root zone over a stone choker layer with sub-drains and completed with washed sod. This construction mirrors the underground drainage system used at BMO Field. The third field was constructed with standard sub-drainage. A fourth field was completed using synthetic turf over a granular ‘O’ base with subdrains, c/w grade beam to support a dome for year-round use. The project also included installation of an irrigation system and berm contouring. The completed facility meets the Club’s vision for an elite-level training grounds, modeled after top clubs in Europe.
