City partners with Vaughan Soccer Club to bring a new soccer dome to North Maple Regional Park
The City of Vaughan is celebrating yet another milestone in the development of North Maple Regional Park with the groundbreaking of the new Vaughan Soccer Club Dome that will be a destination for soccer enthusiasts for years to come.
On July 29, Mayor Steven Del Duca, Members of Council and members of the Vaughan Soccer Club held a special event at NMRP to mark the start of construction on this facility.
This project is a collaborative effort between the City and the Vaughan Soccer Club, which are partnering to design, build, operate and maintain the future soccer dome.
Located within NMRP, the soccer dome, which will be ready for play by the end of the year, will feature an 11 versus 11 artificial turf field and offer year-round indoor programming. This new, first-of-its-kind facility at NMRP supports the City’s long-term vision to create a nationally significant park that focuses on restoring nature, sharing culture, promoting active living and building community.
The development of NMRP is a key priority for Vaughan. The site has rich history, once serving as the third-largest landfill in North America. Vaughan CARES, a group of residents, played a key role in closing the landfill in 2002. Since then, the City has worked to transform the area into parkland guided by the principles of Restore, Engage and Play. NMRP is being developed as a signature destination for Vaughan and beyond.
