Founded in 1816 as a military settlement after the War of 1812 and named for its Scottish counterpart, Perth is the kind of place that still feels like a small town should. Stone buildings line the town’s main streets, the Tay River winds through Stewart Park behind Town Hall, and on summer nights the ballpark is where a good chunk of the community actually is. It is also a town that takes recreation seriously, featuring ball diamonds, soccer pitches, courts, a splash pad, and the kind of weekend traffic that makes safety more than a nice-to-have.

Working in a city that seems to just keep on growing, this job brought us to Sesquicentennial Park in Brampton North where key stakeholders at the city were looking to shore-up some new safety padding for the park’s baseball diamonds. Once known as Countryside Park, Sesquicentennial has become one of the city’s busiest outdoor destinations. It is a large, multi-diamond complex featuring eight slo-pitch fields (most of them lit), a field house, and change rooms. In recent years the city has also built out an Activity Hub on the site which includes an accessible playground, splash pad, fitness equipment, shade shelters, picnic areas, and walking connections that pull in families who may never pick up a bat. Tournaments, league nights, kids in the water, seniors on the paths, and vehicles in the lots all share the same piece of ground, and that is exactly the kind of park where a well-hit softball stops being “just part of the game.” [Read More](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/custom-netting-barriers-at-sesquicentennial-park-in-brampton) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/custom-netting-barriers-at-sesquicentennial-park-in-brampton#comments) Topics: [Sports Netting](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/topic/sports-netting), [Netting Barriers](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/topic/netting-barriers) ## [New Custom Netting Barriers at Chris Gibson Park in Brampton](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/new-custom-netting-barriers-at-chris-gibson-park-in-brampton) Posted by [Ryan Wilby](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/author/ryan-wilby) Nov 24, 2025, 9:56:23 AM [![brampton-netting](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/brampton-netting.jpg?width=1000&height=750&name=brampton-netting.jpg)](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hubfs/brampton-netting-full.jpg) One of our most recent projects brought us to beautiful Brampton, Ontario, a dynamic city known for its diverse communities and commitment to outdoor recreation. Nestled in the heart of this bustling suburb, Chris Gibson Park serves as a vital green space for residents of all ages that offers a variety of amenities, including a splash pad for summer fun, soccer fields, a leash-free dog park, and even a 1.5-mile loop trail perfect for casual walks or jogs. In addition to all those fantastic amenities, the city was in the process of creating a state-of-the-art softball and baseball diamond and tapped our team's expertise to help keep balls in play.

Given the volume of hockey games being played each and every year across the country, our team is always busy leading up to hockey season helping rinks ensure their spectator netting is in the best shape possible. One of our more recent hockey-focused projects brought us to Tom Brown Arena, a community ice rink nestled in the vibrant Hintonburg neighborhood, just west of the city's downtown core. Opened in 1967 as part of Ottawa's network of recreational facilities, the arena has served as a vital gathering spot for decades, hosting ice hockey leagues, public skating sessions, figure skating programs, and community events in a facility that also includes a single NHL-sized ice pad.

While we’re known for our top-notch new installations, we’re equally skilled at upgrading, repairing, and replacing existing netting systems to ensure safety and longevity. Outdoor netting barriers are critical for protecting passersby, nearby vehicles, and surrounding areas from stray balls. However, these barriers face constant exposure to harsh elements like wind, UV rays, and flying debris, which can inevitably degrade them over time. Eventually, every netting system reaches the end of its lifespan, leaving facility managers with a choice: patch it up year after year or invest in a professional replacement for a lasting solution.

With a rich history dating back to its founding in the late 18th century, the city has grown into a bustling community that values its recreational facilities, like Crosby Park. This local gem, home to ball fields and community gatherings, recently faced a challenge that required a tailored solution to keep its visitors safe. The City approached us earlier this year with a unique request: design and install a custom [netting barrier](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/complete-netting-barriers-for-every-application) at Crosby Park to prevent foul balls and home runs from reaching an adjacent parking lot. This wasn’t a straightforward task, as the site presented several challenges that demanded creativity and precision.

During the fall of 2023, the Municipality of North Middlesex reached out to us to help them keep balls in play at a couple of their local ball diamonds and we vigorously answered the call. With the big bats dominating last year’s season, concerns were on the rise at both Parkhill Park and Ailsa Craig Community Park. With homes located nearby, balls were occasionally landing very close by or, in some cases, inside the yards and key stakeholders wanted to rectify the situation before someone got hurt. Add in the fact that these two ball diamonds were now also closely situated to new skateparks, the municipality wasted no time sourcing a solution to protect those users as well.

Along with the sprouting of flowers and the budding of trees, it also marks a time for the re-emergence of outdoor sports, including baseball. Serving as home to the [Ottawa Titans](https://www.ottawatitans.com/) baseball team, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park has been a fixture of Canada’s capital since it was built back in 1992. Having served a number of teams over the years, it’s become a staple of summer baseball here in our fair city.

Boasting two NHL-sized ice pads along with twelve amazing dressing rooms, this facility is considered one of the Ottawa area’s best ice hockey facilities.  With regulations requiring safety netting in NHL and other rinks across North America coming into place over a decade ago, many rinks are still continuing to make improvements to spectator safety. As with many sports, hockey is played with a very high-speed projectile that is capable of doing serious damage once shot out of play.

This small eastern-Ontario town is filled with character and up until 2019 was the home of the world famous Havelock Country Jamboree which saw thousands of country music fans descend on the town for the annual festival. While the pandemic slowed things down musically for the town, life has gone on and as local ball players continue to fill local parks and diamonds, and so the town reached out to us to design, supply and install a custom [Netting Barrier](https://www.sportsystemscanada.com/collections/complete-netting-barriers) for the town's ball field.
