Where should a soccer team stay for a tournament at Fisher Field in Collingwood?
Eleven pitches and one reporting time per Fisher Field game
The Town lists eleven pitches at Fisher Field in several sizes, so the complex name is not enough. Get the pitch number and the reporting time from the organizer for every game, and send both to every car leaving the chalet. The drive is about 15 minutes from 104 Brooker Boulevard (7.1 km), 44L (7.7 km) and Aqua Villa (10.1 km).
Field opening depends on ground conditions. The Town describes seasonal access from May 1, weather permitting, so an early-May tournament can move. Read the cancellation policy before booking nights for a schedule that may shift.
Heat, rest and the Brooker pool between Fisher Field games
A summer tournament day is long and sunny. Between games, players do better back at the chalet: air conditioning, a shower, a nap and a proper lunch out of the team cooler. From May to mid-September the heated outdoor pool at 104 Brooker is open to cluster guests, which suits siblings more than players who still have a game to play.
Every chalet also has a private hot tub. Keep the evening noise down outside, because the Town’s noise bylaw applies at all hours and a complaint costs the full security deposit.
Rooming a Fisher Field team across Brooker chalets
Book by family, not by player. Two families share a five-bedroom chalet well, with parents in the main-level queens and kids in the lower bunk rooms. Vega and Corona sit next to each other and sleep 27; three neighbouring houses sleep 36 to 40.
Only registered guests may be on the property, so the team barbecue includes the families staying there and nobody else. Each Brooker chalet has a propane barbecue and four parking spaces. The sports parents’ guide helps assign drivers for early games.
Fisher Field weekend timing: check-in, check-out and the final
Check-in is 4:00 pm, so a Friday-evening game may come before the family can get into the chalet; pack the car so the player can change at the field. Check-out is 11:00 am, which often lands in the middle of Sunday’s games. Load the cars before the morning match and leave one adult to finish the walkthrough. Two nights is the minimum stay, which covers a Friday-to-Sunday tournament exactly.
