Community Park is a stadium in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. It is primarily used for baseball and was the home of the St. Catharines Blue Jays (Stompers from 1996 to 1999) of the New York - Penn League. It is now home park for the Niagara Metros of the Central Ontario Baseball League (a senior AAA men's baseball league). The ballpark has a capacity of 2,000 (and originally 2,500) and Brock Badgers Baseball (Brock University).

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.
