Former Etobicoke City Overview (Now part of Toronto)
(Go to the Etobicoke Sport Hotels Section)

The former City of Etobicoke, which is now merged with the City of Toronto, is still referred to many as "Etobicoke", and is located immediately west of "Toronto".  Starting at Lake Ontario, Etobicoke stretches north to Steeles Avenue and north to the City of Vaughan.  The actual area of Etobicoke is quite large and is home to number of great neighbourhoods.

New Toronto, which is located in the southern region of Etobicoke, is an interesting little community that really has an old fashioned feel to it. Running through the centre of Etobicoke is the Highway 427, which is downtown Torontošs main access to Pearson International Airport.  Highway 427 runs north/south and at the south end of the highway it runs into a highway called the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW).

The area where these two highways meet provides some of Torontošs best shopping.  Sherway Gardens is another one of the Greater Toronto Areas great shopping malls.  As like with the other giant malls, Sherway has everything everybody wants from a great number of stores to some excellent restaurants.  Located at the northern end of Etobicoke is the Woodbine Centre.  This is another giant large mall, which will certainly have everything that you could not find at Sherway Gardens.  In addition to over 200 shops and services, the Woodbine Centre also features an indoor amusement park called Fantasy fair.  Woodbine Centre is located at 500 Rexdale Blvd. and like Sherway Gardens, it is open seven days a week.

Etobicoke has a excellent mix of sport facilities, including: hockey, curling, soccer, tennis, swimming pools, sport fields, lacrosse, as well as many community centres and private sport facilities.

Etobicoke Ontario has great opportunities for sport tournaments of all kinds. Sport tourism is a part of Etobicoke Ontario and it features a wide variety of sport tournament opportunities.
