The ballpark has a capacity of 3,000 people and was opened in 1977.[2] Upgrades to the stadium and concessions were made in 2010.
After being damaged heavily twice due to two major Southern Alberta floods in 1995 and 2013, a berm was built around the ballpark outfield. There is a paved walking path beyond the outfield and on top of the berm where the field of play is in view during live games.[3][4][5]
