Children of all abilities now have a safe space to play America’s favourite pastime in Toronto.
Today, the City of Toronto opened its first fully-accessible baseball diamond at Scarborough’s Highview Park, which is near Danforth Avenue and Birchmount Road.
“Roy Halladay Field is an impressive, accessible, diverse and inclusive space. I am particularly thrilled that Variety Village, with whom I've worked for a long time, will benefit from the facilities,” Scarborough Southwest Coun. Gary Crawford said in a release. Back in 2003, Halliday and his wife, Brandy, started inviting children and their families to watch live Jays games at “Doc's Box.” They extended that invitation to families from SickKids Hospital.
Just over a year ago, Toronto City Council approved naming the field after the former Blue Jay, who died in a 2017 plane crash. Motion 32.32 paid tribute to Halliday’s jersey number.
