The Town of Whitby, Ontario, has secured a $950,000 investment for the new Fieldgate Sports Complex through a 10-year naming rights agreement. The deal was confirmed on March 9, 2026, as the municipality moves into the final stages of work on the facility.

According to the agreement with Whitby Toyota, the local dealership will put its name on the new pickleball courts and Arena 1. This investment will be paid out over 10 years and is designed to help the town manage the costs of running the new facility.

The sports complex is being built in the Brooklin area and is expected to open by mid-2026. When it opens, it will house the largest swimming pool in the Durham Region, a gymnasium, and two ice rinks.

Outdoor features will include lit courts for basketball, tennis, and pickleball, as well as a skatepark and a pump track for bikes. There will also be a multi-purpose field made of artificial turf for various local sports teams to use.

This deal is the second major partnership for the project and follows a previous agreement worth $1.5 million. The town is using these corporate partnerships to help pay for the building and keep costs lower for local residents.
