North York has 3 City cricket pitch parks — G. Ross Lord, Remberto Navia and Keele Reservoir — and one phone line, 416-396-7378 option 2, to book them.
The City of Toronto lists G. Ross Lord Park (4801 Dufferin St), Remberto Navia Sport Fields (65 Norfinch Dr) and Keele Reservoir (4995 Keele St) as the cricket pitch parks in North York. Book through Client Services at 416-396-7378, option 2. For indoor practice, Yashi Sports at 457 Fenmar Dr has nets and a bowling machine.
These 3 parks are the clearest North York answers on the City's official cricket pitch listings, checked October 4, 2026.
📍 4801 Dufferin St (Dufferin and Finch area)
G. Ross Lord Park has 2 cricket pitches, one of them a jute-mat surface according to the City's cricket strategy material. League fixtures were reported here for the 2026 season.
Worth knowing: The City's facility data lists washrooms here. Practice cages have been flagged for improvement in the Cricket Strategy, so check their current condition before bringing a team.
📍 65 Norfinch Dr (Jane and Finch)
Remberto Navia Sport Fields at 65 Norfinch Dr pairs a City cricket pitch with a multi-use sports field in the Jane and Finch area.
Worth knowing: The City's data does not list washrooms here. Parking and TTC access are not confirmed in our research, so plan your route in advance.
📍 4995 Keele St (Keele and Steeles area)
Keele Reservoir at 4995 Keele St has a cricket pitch and a sports field on the northern edge of North York, near Keele and Steeles.
Worth knowing: Washrooms are not listed in the City's facility data for this site. Fields can close temporarily for weather, so confirm before travelling.
Both of these are City cricket pitches near our boundary. We list them because they are useful, not because they are North York proper.
📍 150 Grenoble Dr (Flemingdon Park)
Flemingdon Park at 150 Grenoble Dr has a cricket pitch alongside a ball diamond, track, dry pad, sports field and playground. It sits in the Flemingdon Park and Don Mills area, on the edge of what we call North York, so treat it as a nearby option rather than a core one.
📍 1132 Leslie St (Don Valley side)
Sunnybrook Park at 1132 Leslie St has a cricket pitch, washrooms and a dog area in the Don Valley, on the southern edge of our coverage area. It is a short trip from Leslie and Eglinton, not a North York neighbourhood park.
The City says sports fields can be booked for games, practice, tournaments and special events. Start with Client Services at 416-396-7378, option 2.
The Toronto & District Cricket Association (TDCA) is the main regional league. It began as the Toronto and District Cricket Council on November 30, 1920 and was renamed in 1977, according to secondary summaries of its history. Fixtures were reported at G. Ross Lord Park in 2026.
We have not confirmed which clubs are based in North York, or what they charge, so we are not naming any. For governing-body information, see Cricket Ontario and Cricket Canada, and check the TDCA's fixtures on its CricClubs page.
What is coming: the City's Cricket Strategy (checked October 4, 2026) said new facilities at Corvette Park and Byng Park, both in Scarborough, were scheduled to open October 1, 2026, with Centennial Park facilities under construction. None are in North York, but they may ease demand for permits across the city.
The outdoor season ends in September, so winter practice means nets.
📍 457 Fenmar Dr, North York, ON M9L 2R6
Yashi Sports at 457 Fenmar Dr offers indoor cricket net practice and bowling machine rental. Google Places listed it as operational on October 4, 2026, with a 4.2 rating from 246 Google reviews.
Worth knowing: Third-party listings have shown session prices in the $20 to $40 range, but that is undated, so ask the venue for current rates and hours before you go.
Three City-run pitch parks are clearly in North York: G. Ross Lord Park (4801 Dufferin St), Remberto Navia Sport Fields (65 Norfinch Dr) and Keele Reservoir (4995 Keele St). Flemingdon Park (150 Grenoble Dr) and Sunnybrook Park (1132 Leslie St) are on the edge of the area. The City lists 20 cricket-pitch parks citywide as of October 4, 2026.
Call City of Toronto Client Services at 416-396-7378, option 2. Groups need a booking (permit) account and a Seasonal Request for Space application, plus a roster of participants; the permit officer is reached at the same number. The City says sports fields can be booked for games, practice, tournaments and special events.
The City's outdoor sports-field season runs May to September. Seasonal applications have historically been due in October with permits issued in December, but the exact 2027 dates were not confirmed — check the City's online booking page for the 2027 dates.
We could not find an official City policy on casual, unpermitted play on cricket pitches, so we will not claim one. If you want a guaranteed slot, book a permit; if you are unsure, call 416-396-7378 option 2 first.
The Toronto & District Cricket Association (TDCA) is the main regional league; it traces back to the Toronto and District Cricket Council, founded November 30, 1920, and fixtures were reported at G. Ross Lord Park in 2026. We have not confirmed individual North York club rosters or registration fees, so we do not name clubs here.
Yashi Sports Inc. at 457 Fenmar Dr offers indoor net sessions and bowling machine rental, and Google Places showed it as operational on October 4, 2026. Confirm hours and prices with the venue.
Yes, but outside North York. The City's Cricket Strategy page (checked October 4, 2026) said new facilities at Corvette Park and Byng Park in Scarborough were scheduled to open October 1, 2026, with Centennial Park facilities under construction. Confirm opening status before travelling.
City facility data lists washrooms at G. Ross Lord Park and Sunnybrook Park. It does not list them for Remberto Navia, Keele Reservoir or Flemingdon Park.
