ETOBICOKE VALLEY PARK
The park address is: 72A Westhead Road, Toronto (former Etobicoke) M8W 4S3. Here is a Google map to the parking lot (not yet activated). I have also attached a PDF map to the Park Location.
All four (4) diamonds are located within the park boundaries and are visible to one another.
Please note there is limited room in the Parking Lot. The lot will fill up quickly and you will have to use street parking. Please book this extra time factor into your arrival. It could take as much as 15 extra minutes (or more) to find a spot and walk to the park down the ramp or stairs. This will especially apply to teams with a 10 am start time.
There is limited parking in the Parking Lot. Once the lot is full, you must use on-street parking. Please respect the neighbourhood and any posted/signed parking restrictions. The tournament organizers are not responsible for any actions taken resulting from illegally parked vehicles.
If you are playing the 10 am game, please be prepared to walk a little bit and plan some extra time in your arrival itinerary to account for this. The teams playing at 8 am will likely fill the parking lot and some nearby on-street parking. There will be more than 225 families at any given time in the park and looking for parking in the area. Please plan accordingly.
NO VEHICLES ALLOWED IN THE PARK
Vehicles are not allowed in the park nor are they allowed down the ramp to drop off equipment. All team equipment must be carried down the steps or the ramp to the park. Please remind your families of this. We will have a parking attendant on duty at the top of the ramp enforcing this requirement. There will be one tournament vehicle in the park for emergency purposes.
There is a washroom building with flush toilets available in the park. Alderwood Softball will operate a Concession Stand for the weekend offering Hot dogs/Beef patties/Taquito/Gatorade/Water/Pop/Coffee/Tea/various candies/chips/freezies/ice cream sandwiches. In addition, there are several fast-food outlets within a short driving distance of the park. There is also a Farm Boy and No Frills within a 5-10 minute drive.
NO SHADE
There is extremely limited shade in the park and around the diamonds and team benches. Please plan your day accordingly. Pop-up shade masters are highly recommended. Bring lots of water.
