| From Baseball's Canadian-American League by David Pietrusza: The Smiths Falls ballpark had been built in 1916-17 by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Recreation Association. Its salient feature was a 20-foot-high tin fence guarding its short left field barrier. Francis Regan wrote that the town boasts “one of the finest baseball parks in minor league baseball. Operated by the Canadian-Pacific Recreation Club, the park has a grandstand extending down the first and third base lines with a seating capacity of 2,200. There is a grass infield, smooth and fast, and a fine outfield. A short left field fence is the only drawback but at that the distance is 270 feet. Center is 410 feet and right field 400 feet. There are pennants with the names of each of the eight teams in the league flying at different points from the roof of the grandstand. There is a scoreboard in center field, a board with the names, numbers and positions of visiting players in left field. . . Can-Am ball returned briefly in July 1938 when Ottawa, displaced from Lansdowne Stadium by an Exposition, played three tilts there. The tin fence is now gone, but the park is still recognizable. Soccer is now sometimes played there and two ice rinks and a lawn bowling pitch are adjacent. |
