Diamond Park was a 1,500 seat baseball stadium located in Edmonton, Alberta. A covered grandstand provided 500 and bleachers down the first base had 1,000 more seats. Constructed by a local businessman Frank Gray, who was also Edmonton's baseball club director, in 1907. Home to the Edmonton Eskimos baseball team, it was located on the Ross Flats below the site of the MacDonald Hotel. The park is still known as Diamond Park and has a shaled-infield ball diamond, but the stands are gone, likely since 1935 when nearby Renfrew Park was built and replaced Diamond Park as Edmonton's main ball park.
