Oakes Park (Niagara Falls)

The park's namesake is Harry Oakes, who had donated 6.4 hectares (16 acres) of farmland to the city of Niagara Falls.

The original park had a running track and was used as an athletic field for baseball, rugby, and lacrosse.

The park and its facilities were opened to the public on August 3, 1931.

Oakes Park was used as a venue for baseball in the 2022 Canada Summer Games.

[2] The park was renovated at a cost of approximately 1.1 million dollars: a new clay infield was established, as well as dugouts and bullpens.
