This project is now complete! The Bechtel Park ball diamond opened for the 2023 season.

The City of Waterloo upgraded the Bechtel Park ball diamond in 2023, based on feedback collected from the community. The upgrades included an extensive renovation to the stadium, seating and a new scoreboard.

Project background

The City of Waterloo is upgrading five ball diamonds in Waterloo by 2023.

These upgrades are part of the ongoing implementation of the Outdoor Sportsfield Strategy that was completed in 2012. Our goal is to maximize the capacity of the existing diamonds and better meet the needs of the people visiting and using these diamonds.

For example, adding lighting to the diamonds will allow us to increase scheduling capacity, and better support groups that play in the evening. The updates to infrastructure will ensure greater user programming for the next 20 years.

The full size diamond at Rim Park isn't anything more than a poor practice diamond with its gravel infield, and the infield at Lexington is in horrible condition to the point of being unsafe (it needs work too). on Facebook Share Does this mean the diamond will be out of commission for the 2022 season?

    Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to submit your question.

    The construction of these diamonds is expected to take up all of the 2022 season with the fields reopening for the 2023 season. Our staff have been working closely with the various sports leagues who use these diamonds to come up with alternatives for play for the 2022 season. We will be shifting teams to various fields nearby for the season. In our discussion with the leagues, concerns about other fields have been raised and we are aiming to address these concerns as part of our seasonal maintenance ahead of next season. We understand scheduling for next season will be difficult but we look forward to 2023 when we will have three brand new diamonds in our city. Thanks again!

    Shelly
