Labatt Park

Labatt Park is a baseball ground in London, Ontario, featuring a grass playing surface and traditional ballpark infrastructure built to serve the local community. The facility maintains the classic layout of an older stadium with standard diamond dimensions and spectator seating.

The grounds opened in 1877 and gained its current name from a brewing company that supported local sports in the early 1900s. Since then it has operated continuously through changing eras, making it one of the longest-running sports venues in North America.

The park served as a gathering place where baseball brought communities together across generations, creating memories that families still share today. People in London consider it a symbol of their sports heritage and local pride.

The grounds are easy to access by car and provide parking nearby for visitors, with clear signage directing you to the main entrance. The facility has shaded seating areas and is generally comfortable for spending an afternoon watching a game.

The venue holds a distinction as the oldest continuously operating baseball ground in North America, with games played there generation after generation without a pause. This unbroken span of play makes it a rare example of a sports space that has endured through dramatic social and cultural shifts.
