Atiba Hutchinson Soccer Court

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​


Reviewed: 05/17/2024

​​The court is being installed in recognition of Atiba Hutchinson, an internationally renowned professional soccer player and Bramptonian. Atiba Hutchinson is the current captain of the Canadian national team and has been a member since 2003. Hutchinson brought the idea to Council on March 9, 2022, aiming to enhance the soccer presence in Brampton by having a drop-in outdoor ​soccer court that is embedded within the community. His vision was to construct a court in a location that is within walking distance of residential homes, accessible by transit, with available parking and in an area with a high population of youth between the ages of 6 and 16.​

  • Q3 2023: Construction anticipated to begin 
  • Q2 2024: Construction anticipated to be completed​

The outdoor soccer court will provide players with the opportunity to strengthen their skills by playing in a smaller area that is conducive to a more creative style of play. There are only two courts of this kind currently located in Canada and this proposed court will be the first fully lit soccer court in the country. This new amenity will align with the strategy of the future Youth Hub​ construction at Century Gardens. The intent is to have a soccer court that is not formally programmed, allowing it to be accessible to the entire community. The soccer court will provide residents with an additional space to exercise, socialize and enjoy the game​.
