- Comfort Inn - Markham (Woodbine, South of HWY 7) 905-477-6077. Room with one queen and a pull out couch $89.99. *This hotel is closest to the fields. They say they only allow a maximum of two adults per room. (So be discrete.)
- Howard Johnson (Markham Rd and 401) 416-439-6200. Rooms with 1 queen bed $99 *This is a bit further from the party (15-20min?), but not too far from the fields.

- Travelodge Toronto (Victoria Park & 401) 416-493-7000. Don't know the rate, but probably reasonable. *A good location.
- Ramada (401 & DVP) 416-493-9000. *Good location, rate much higher than 1998 year - probably should skip em.
- Radisson (DVP & Eglinton) 416-449-4111. *Good location for party, rate much higher than 1998 - probably should skip em.
FIELDS
Milliken Mills Park is between Warden and Kennedy on the south side of 14th Avenue in Markham. There are 5 soccer fields (10 Ultimate fields with some inappropriate lines and soccer goals) and 5 ball diamonds in the park. The simplest directions are to take HWY 401, to HWY 404 north, to Steeles Ave east, to Warden Ave north, to 14th Ave east, to park entrance (on south side just before Mitsubishi building). The park sign is easy to miss, but you should be able to see the sports field light poles a little ways before you reach the park entrance. If you reach Kennedy Ave, you've gone too far. (You can also take Steeles to Kennedy, north on Kennedy to the MacDonalds, and park behind the MacDonalds.) Click here to see map
Party Info
The party will be at North Beach Volleyball Academy (5 indoor sand courts, two cash bars, live band, some free munchies, buffet available for $7, pool table, ping pong, videos of Saturday's games, etc) at 74 Railside Road. Directions - from DVP and Lawrence, go east on Lawrence to second light. Go South on Railside to party! (Railside Rd is in a "U" shape. First light is also Railside, but second light is easier to get to North Beach.) You are welcome to head there immediately after the games - no need to shower, you'll be playing VolleyBall and/or Frisbee Cups anyway, and there are showers at North Beach.
