Diamond Park
Diamond Park was a 1,500-seat baseball stadium located in Edmonton, Alberta. A covered grandstand provided 500 and bleachers down the first-base line had 1,000 more seats.[1] Constructed by a local businessman Frank Gray, who was also Edmonton's baseball club director, in 1907.[1] Home to the Edmonton Eskimos baseball team (from 1909 to 1914, 1919-1921 and 1922), it was located on the Ross Flats below the Hotel Macdonald.[3] The park is still known as Diamond Park and has a shaled-infield ball diamond,[4] but the stands are gone, likely since 1935 when nearby Renfrew Park was built and replaced Diamond Park as Edmonton's main ball park.
