The stadium was built in June 1984, and was originally named North York Civic Stadium. But was renamed in 1988 in honour of former City of North York Councilor Esther Shiner. In 2004 the stadium was closed down, and reopened on September 15, 2005 and was upgraded with a new artificial playing surface and running track^[1].
