Barker Field

Barker Field was one of a two airfields in the Downsview area of Toronto, Ontario.

Open in 1927, it was a civilian airfield for the early era of flying in Canada. It remained in use until 1953. The area (northwest corner of Lawrence Avenue West and Dufferin Street) has since been re-developed as a commercial site (auto dealership, gas station and other businesses).
