Originally built in 1933, it was torn down after sixty-two years of use in 1995 and replaced by Telus Field on the same site. Beginning in 1981, John Ducey Park was the home field for the AAA Edmonton Trappers of the Pacific Coast League.
The stadium was originally known as Renfrew Park, but was renamed in later years for John Ducey, an Edmonton baseball executive, promoter, general manager, scout and coach.[1]
Prior to Renfrew Park, Diamond Park was Edmonton's main baseball field. The field could hold a maximum of 2,500 spectators by law.
John Ducey Park was the site where in 1982 Ron Kittle of the Trappers hit his 50th home run of the season in the last game of the year. Kittle was named Minor League Player of the Year.
The stadium hosted the 1990 Baseball World Cup.[2]
