History

Sunnybrook was once a 175 acre farm property with horse stables, known as Sunnybrook Farm, situated in the Town of Leaside. It was owned by Joseph and Alice Kilgour and turned over to the City of Toronto in 1928.

Kilgour was President of the Canada Paper Company and acquired the farm in 1890s.

In 1933 Kilgour Memorial Gates at Bayview Avenue and Blythwood Road (since demolished) as well as a plaque at Wilket Creek Park were added to commemorate the Kilgour family's legacy and presence in the area.

Cricket

Sunnybrook hosted a first-class cricket fixture in 2004. The Canadian national cricket team used the ground for their ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Bermuda, which ended in a draw with Canada requiring only one further wicket to win.

The ground also hosted six matches during the 2001 ICC Trophy.
