Community previews 2026 Grey Cup Legacy Project at Fonda Park

Community members, young athletes and Calgary Stampeders players got an early look at Fonda Park's new flag football fields at a community preview event on Saturday, Oct. 3. The City of Calgary is delivering three new flag football fields at Fonda Park (1017 Fonda Ct. S.E.) in partnership with the Stampeders Foundation's 2026 Grey Cup Legacy Project. The fields respond to the rapid growth of flag and touch football in Calgary, a sport gaining popularity with youth and adults alike, while bringing more opportunities to participate closer to families in the surrounding communities. "Fonda Park was selected because it already has the infrastructure, the transit access and parking needed to support increased recreational use," said Deputy Mayor Dan McLean. McLean noted that the project repurposes underused playfields, including an underused baseball diamond, while keeping valued community amenities like the skate slab and playground. Two of three fields are complete and will be open for booking starting April 2027, while the third field will begin construction next spring. The event focused on what the fields are for: getting kids to play. Stampeders Jaylon Hutchings and Folarin Orimol
