The stadium was originally known as Renfrew Park, but was renamed in later years for John Ducey, an Edmonton baseball player who also owned the original Edmonton Eskimos football team of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Prior to Renfrew Park, Diamond Park was Edmonton's main baseball field. The field could hold a maximum of 2,500 spectators by law.
John Ducey Park was the site where in 1982 Ron Kittle of the Trappers hit his 50th home run of the season in the last game of the year. Kittle was named Minor League Player of the Year.
