Hamilton Amateur Athletic Association Grounds


The Hamilton Amateur Athletic Association Grounds is a park located on the north side of Charlton Avenue West, between Locke Street South and Queen Street South, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The park served as home to the Hamilton Tigers from 1872 to 1949. Prior to 1949, the grounds hosted home games for McMaster Marauders football.
In 1950, the Tigers amalgamated with the Hamilton Wildcats to create the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The new team became the permanent tenants of Civic Stadium, and played their home games there until 2012. The Tiger-Cats joined the Canadian Football League as an inaugural member in 1958. A plaque outlining much of the grounds' history is located next to the main entrance on Charlton.
The grounds feature a full length soccer field with fixed goals, a clubhouse with bathrooms and a water fountain, and a 400m red clay track that is home to the Hamilton Track Dogs.
