The existing baseball diamond in the southwest corner of Cricket Field is scheduled to be renovated this fall. It will be designed for children aged 13 and under. There will be a new backstop, fencing, covered player’s benches and bleachers.

Kingston was awarded the 2024 Little League Canada national championship tournament and this site was selected as the venue. Beyond the tournament use, the new diamond will accommodate regular league play.

    Cricket Field Baseball Diamond Renovation – Engagement Summary

    Cricket Field Baseball Diamond Renovation project is scheduled for construction in 2023.

    The renovation will include repositioning the baseball diamond southwest of the original footprint and adjusting the size of the facility to accommodate children up to 13 years old. The new facility will include a new backstop, covered players benches, spectator bleachers and fencing. The site will be the venue for the Little League Canada national championship tournament in 2024.

    Public engagement was conducted in 2022 as an online meeting and survey. Feedback included:

    • Concerns that the proposed design included a permanent outfield fence which interrupted the central open space and community use of the park.
      • The conceptual design was revised to remove the outfield fence after the tournament.
    • Questions included:
      1. Whether the facility would accommodate a cricket pitch
        • Response: No.
      2. How long will the facility be booked for baseball each year
        • Response: League play is typically booked between May and September.
      3. Will the facility be accessible
        • Response: Yes, the site will be accessible
      4. What is the proposed cost for the project
        • Response: The budget for the project is $750K
