‘Toronto Is Ready’: Mayor Unveils Plans for New Practice Facility for City’s WNBA Team
The first WNBA facility of its kind in North America will include 2 indoor courts and 2,200 hours of annual community access, the city said.
On Friday, the Toronto Tempo and the City of Toronto announced plans for the Tempo Performance Centre, a high-performance training facility and community recreation hub at Exhibition Place.
Located at 701 Fleet St. near Coca-Cola Coliseum, the facility replaces an underused parking lot, with the Tempo funding the project entirely on City-owned land.
The site will feature two regulation basketball courts and sports medicine areas, providing Torontonians at least 2,200 hours of annual access for public programming, including CampTO offerings and drop-in sessions.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow praised the project as one that "delivers real benefits for residents," and the plan will be sent to Toronto City Council for approval by month's end.
Construction is expected to begin this fall with a 2028 completion date, providing a lasting home for the team before their May 8 inaugural match against the Washington Mystics.
