The Hangar

I play outdoor soccer here. The fields are nice and well-​kept. However, parking can get a little bit hectic when there are multiple games going. Otherwise, its a pretty decent place to play soccer.

So I decided that it would be a good idea to start playing soccer in the winter. I joined a soccer rec team through the Toronto Sport and Social Club (TSSC) and our games take place at the Hangar Sports Dome located behind the main Hangar building. This place is A-​OK! Well-​heated in the cold winter months and there are portable (clean!) bathrooms just outside (they’re large enough to double-​up as change rooms). My only complaint is that there are no drinking fountains around, which is surprising to see at a sports venue. Make sure to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.
Getting here is pretty easy if you’re driving and there’s tons of parking. TTCing here is a different story. You can take a bus from Downsview station and then walk for 10 – 15 minutes from the bus stop on Sheppard St., but this walk looks pretty sketchy (especially in the dark).

Ball hockey is way overpriced. Lots of hot moms here… with their kids, unfortunately.

Came here after a friendly game of frisbee outdoors. Another team let us in on a little secret — free pizza for TSSC (Toronto Sport and Social Club) teams with the purchase of a pitcher of beer. We were all a little skeptical, thinking this was too good to be true. Turns out this deal is real. You simply have to visit the front desk for a coupon and you get a large pepperoni pizza absolutely free with the purchase of a pitcher. In our case, it was a more than one, but you still only get one pizza per team.
Good-​sized patio out front. Service was pretty slow, but I think that’s because all teams arrived around the same time. Beer selection was pretty standard, nothing to brag about. Pizza was Pizza Pizza — no complaints, but nothing fabulous.
It was very convenient for us to gather here after our game, but I don’t think I would hang out here otherwise.

So the hangar is mostly for indoor football (as in Soccer) although they do have one or two beach volleyball courts. It is a big complex with 4 large sized indoor soccer pitches and decent turf. They just upgraded a couple years ago from some absolutely horrible turf that would cut you up but now it’s a lot better (although still not the best).
It’s a great place to come and rent out a field with your friends when you NEED your soccer fix in the middle of winter (which seems to be at least once a week for me), fields cost around $ 110 /​hour but if you get a game of 14 people going it won’t cost much per person. They also serve some donuts and hot dogs and they’re alright and not TOO overly priced which is a plus. The facilities are always clean and the people do a good job taking care of the place.
