Shaw Park, Baseball stadium in Winnipeg, Canada
Shaw Park is a baseball stadium in Winnipeg, Canada, located next to The Forks near the downtown area. It features a natural grass field with a dirt infield, seating for 7,461 people, 30 luxury skysuites, a picnic area, and an open patio in the right field corner.
The stadium opened in 1999 as CanWest Global Park and was built in three phases, with the final expansion completed in 2003. It has been renamed several times, most recently becoming Blue Cross Park in 2023.
The ballpark is a gathering spot for local baseball fans, who come to watch the Winnipeg Goldeyes play and enjoy the open patio and picnic areas. The name has changed over the years, but people still refer to it by its various names, showing how it remains a familiar landmark in the city.
The stadium is easy to reach on foot from The Forks and downtown, with clear signs at the entrances. Visitors can walk around the concourse for views of the field and the city skyline beyond the outfield fence.
The ballpark is built inside a curve of the main CN Rail line, so trains often pass by during games, adding a distinctive sound to the experience. The outfield offers views of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the Esplanade Riel bridge.
