Serauxmen Stadium

 Nanaimo NightOwls, West Coast League

This is the closest thing it had to a facade.

This is the closest I could get to behind home plate without climbing on someone.

From this angle, it's a cute little ballpark.

This was the only new park I made it to in 2025. The Nanaimo entry in the West Coast League set up in 2021. It sometimes, but not always, serves as a "travel buddy" for Victoria, with teams headed to Vancouver Island to play both. 

The park is in something of a sports complex, with a football/soccer stadium and an aquatics centre with a hockey rink attached also nearby. We parked at the pool for free and crossed the street to the ballpark. 

To be clear, they have done a lot of work getting this place ready for the WCL. But from the fan side, there's a lot to be desired. The seating is easily the worst of the 100+ ballparks I have on here, with the notable exception of Prince George, which didn't have seats at all. The seats in Nanaimo appeared to have been added recently, but are on preexisting concrete risers, so you essentially have to spread your knees around the person in front of you. There are metal general admission bleachers on the third base side, if I go back, I'll sit there instead. 

Food options were pretty minimal and if memory serves, a bit expensive. We ended up getting food on the way out of town. There was alcohol service, but the beer garden is in the outfield(the third picture is from out there) The atmosphere was the lone positive, as the fans were into the game, even though the NightOwls were getting hit hard by one of the WCL's best teams, the Corvallis Knights. 

This park is close to the new house, so it could see a repeat visit at some point this year or next. I don't assign amateur parks a number rating, but if I did, this could be looking at a 6 or even a 5. Still, a lot of work was clearly put into this park to get it where it is, so credit where credit's due.
