There are a pair of new fieldhouses — basically glorified change room facilities — being built at Centennial Park as part of Toronto's FIFA hosting duties. The larger facility is to be just south of Centennial Park Stadium on the east side of the park, and the smaller one on the west side, based on the east side having more practice fields. The designs for these were submitted to the City in November for Site Plan Approval.

Indeed, if you zoom in, there are field markings for cricket, soccer/football and possibly Aussie Rules Football and/or rugby

There were reports last month that one of these facilities were getting chopped from the plan (more than likely the west fieldhouse - looking at the plans). Sunnybrook isn't even getting a facility anymore.

There's a couple more earlier updates where you can see the soccer hub and baseball hubs progressing too - I dunno if we have a Centennial Park Masterplan thread
