John Ducey Park
former baseball stadium in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
John Ducey Park was a 6,500-seat baseball park in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It was originally known as "Renfrew Park" and was built in 1933. Named after Lord Renfrew, the park was originally a soccer pitch until Clarence Campbell brought baseball to. Prior to Renfrew Park, Diamond Park was Edmonton's primary baseball park.
The first game was played at Renfrew Park on May 24, 1933. A fire in August 1950 briefly shut down the baseball park, when it was replaced by a steel grandstand. The new park became home to the Edmonton Trappers in 1981, who won three Pacific Coast League championships. On March 13, 1984, Renfrew Park was renamed for John Ducey, an Edmonton baseball executive, coach and umpire. The park hosted the 1990 Baseball World Cup.
John Ducey Park was torn down in 1995, and replaced by Telus Field (later known as RE/MAX Field) built on the same location.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “John Ducey Park” as former baseball stadium in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as former baseball stadium in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6230235. The first chronological checks are 1933, 1950, 1981 and 1984.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
