A new artificial turf soccer field is coming to Dufferin District Park
The City of Vaughan is ‘scoring big’ with the future transformation of a soccer field at Dufferin District Park (1441 Clark Ave.) into artificial turf.
Earlier today, Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council came together to announce this exciting milestone for Vaughan’s soccer community.
The new FIFA-standard artificial turf soccer field, the first at Dufferin District Park, will further enhance the site’s recreational offerings. Designed for durability and high performance, the state-of-the-art field will provide a consistent, extended playing surface that supports everything from casual pickup games and organized leagues to training sessions and tournaments.
Additional improvements coming to Dufferin District Park include new bleachers, a new scoreboard and more. Construction is expected to begin by this summer and be completed by June 2027.
