About

We’re excited to celebrate the opening of the very first Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities Community Soccer Pitch at Harbourfront Centre, creating a new free and accessible space for kids and families to come together through play.

As part of a national initiative to build 25 inclusive community soccer pitches across Canada by 2029, this new waterfront pitch is about more than just soccer. From first kicks to big goals, it’s about giving every child the chance to feel included, stay active and experience the joy of the game close to home.

Alongside the open pitch, the space will also host several community programs and recreation opportunities for city residents.

The Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities Community Soccer Pitch at Harbourfront Centre is a free and accessible waterfront space for kids, families and community members to come together through play. 

Part of a national initiative to build 25 inclusive community soccer pitches across Canada by 2029, the pitch is about more than soccer. From first kicks to big goals, it gives children and community members a place to stay active, connect and experience the joy of the game. 

The pitch is open daily from 8am to 11pm, weather permitting.

Players can also borrow soccer balls for free at the pitch through the Equip Sports app. Please review the Pitch Rules and Code of Conduct before taking to the field. 

The pitch is open for free public access first-come first-play.
