Description
The facility consists of four softball diamonds and two baseball diamonds at Taunton Road and Audley Road in north east Ajax. Prior to the games the facility received 9 million dollars in upgrades to ensure it met World Baseball Softball Confederation standards, which included converting two soccer fields into a baseball diamond and the adjacent existing baseball diamond being rebuilt with new sod and clay. During the games the Sportsplex housed four different stadiums. Two premier fields had temporary seating for 5,000 each, with one being for baseball and one for softball and two competition fields had 1,200 seats each (one for each sport).
