History
The current field and grandstand was opened in 1986 during the first seasons for the Blue Jays. The stadium was built or reconfigured from the former Merritton Community Park baseball field from 1960s.
The park was originally called Merritton Baseball Field and now referred to as George Taylor Field renamed in honour of Merritton native and former St. Catharines Blue Jays/Stompers groundskeeper George (Clickey) Taylor.
