The Mitford Park ball diamond rehabilitation will provide an update to Mitford Park ball diamonds to create optimal conditions for play through the busy season.
Cochrane’s ball diamond rehabilitation program
Cochrane maintains 13 ball diamonds that see heavy use from April to October. These diamonds are booked seven days a week for recreational and minor league play, which means regular care is essential to keep fields in good condition.
To support this work, the Town launched the Ball Diamond Lifecycle Program in 2025. Each year, two diamonds will be selected for rehabilitation based on their condition. This planned, ongoing work helps prevent deterioration and avoids costly one-time repairs.
About the Mitford ball diamond
Mitford Park Ball Diamond is the focus for 2026 and will receive its first full rehabilitation since it was built. While minor shale top-ups have taken place over the years, no complete renewal has been done. The shale surface has broken down over time, leading to uneven footing and less safe playing conditions. A full rehabilitation will restore the field and support safe, enjoyable play for our local ball teams.
This project reflects Cochrane’s commitment to supporting active, connected and vibrant community life by caring for the places where residents gather, play and compete.
