Toyota Stadium (formerly Toyota Park, Endeavour Field, Ronson Field, Caltex Field and Shark Park) is a rugby league stadium in the suburb of Woolooware, New South Wales, Australia. It is the home ground for the Cronulla Sharks rugby league team, which represents the Cronulla and Sutherland Shire area. It is still colloquially known as Shark Park or Endeavour Field.

The stadium was built in 1960 and has a nominal capacity of 22,000. The Toyota Motor Company currently hold the naming rights to the stadium. The Sharkies Leagues Club sits beside Toyota Park.

On April 21, 2006, the Federal Government announced a $9.6 million grant will be given to the Cronulla Sharks to upgrade Toyota Park. [ [http://www.rleague.com/db/article.php?id=25014 Rleague.com - The World of Rugby League ] ] The upgrade to Toyota Stadium will include a new covered stand to seat over 1,500 spectators at the southern end. The new stand is expected to be complete for the 2008 season. Renovations are also planned for the ET Stand and the Peter Burns Stand. Facilities planned for the Leagues Club include a new swimming pool and a gym.
