How to Get There:

Event Directions:

By Car

Drive to 15 Grierson Rd, Etobicoke, ON M9W 3R2.
There is ample free parking directly in front of the arena.

By TTC from Islington Station

From Islington Station, go to the TTC bus terminal area. Access the terminal from the subway level, not the road.
Take the 37 Islington bus northbound.
Get off at Islington Ave & Allenby Ave.
Walk east along Allenby Ave, then south on Grierson Rd, and towards the arena.
The arena is to the left (east) of the Tennis Club.

Islington Terminal Construction & TTC Access

Due to ongoing construction at Islington Station, the west entrance to the terminal is currently closed. All TTC access is now through the east entrance, which is also used as the drop‑off/pick‑up point for riders returning on the TTC 37 Islington Bus SOUTH to Bloor.

Please note the pick-up location for TTC 37 Islington Bus NORTH remains inside the terminal, which can be accessed from the subway level. Give yourself extra time to find the stop.
