Sunlight Park was the first baseball stadium in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The all wood structure was built in 1886 at a cost of $7,000 by the International League baseball team the Toronto Baseball Club (renamed the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1902).
It was initially known as the Toronto Baseball Grounds. It had seating for 2,200 spectators, including a 550-seat reserved section. The stadium’s grand opening was held on May 22, 1886 for an afternoon game against the “Rochester’s” of Rochester, New York. It came to be known as Sunlight Park after the Lever Brothers’ Sunlight Soap Works was built south of Eastern Avenue. The stadium hosted the city’s first professional baseball championship in 1887. The team and league folded in 1890. The park was used for local baseball, football, and lacrosse leagues until well into the 20th century (1913), when encroaching industrial uses predominated.
