Welcome To Labatt Memorial Park

For thousands of years, the Forks of the Thames has been a significant location in this area for trading, growing crops and meeting. It wasn't until 1877 that the site became a baseball field, but that is exactly what it has remained to this day. Originally named "Tecumseh Park", the park was later renamed to its current title "Labatt Memorial Park" and has since been the home of many different teams, leagues, events and even a number of different sports. Over the years, the park has hosted some of baseball's most legendary players including Ty Cobb, Satchel Paige and Fergie Jenkins.
