City of Windsor Awarded Toronto Blue Jays Field of Dreams Grant

The City of Windsor is excited to announce that we have been selected as a recipient of a Field Of Dreams grant from Jays Care Foundation. 

Field Of Dreams, made possible by TD, is Jays Care Foundation’s granting program that provides funding to design, refurbish and build local baseball diamonds in communities across the country. 

Field Of Dreams diamonds are created to be safe and inclusive spaces where communities can connect, and kids can grow. Since the program’s inception, Jays Care has invested more than $20 million in 232 Field Of Dreams projects across the country.

The City of Windsor will receive $150,000 towards the refurbishment of the Father Cullen Baseball Stadium backstop (Mic Mac Park, 1125 Prince Road).

“We are thankful that the Toronto Blue Jays have selected us to receive this funding,” said Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens. “Father Cullen Stadium is our premier baseball stadium in Windsor. It has been home to and will continue to host many national and provincial baseball championships. This generous funding from the Jays Care Foundation will help to ensure that the stadium continues to be used by both our local associations and the many teams that come to Windsor for tournaments and events. We thank the foundation and team for investing in our community.”

The project is scheduled to start this fall, immediately following the 2025 baseball season. The goal is to have the diamond ready for the 2026 season.
