Manitoba Fencing Contractor Builds Baseball Diamond in St-Pierre-Jolys

ST-PIERRE-JOLYS, MANITOBA: Peg City Fence Pros, a fencing contractor in Manitoba, has just completed the construction of a baseball diamond in Parc Carillon, a park located in the village of St-Pierre-Jolys. 

The baseball diamond, which is the second diamond located within the park, is the first baseball diamond ever constructed by Peg City Fence Pros. The baseball diamond was constructed due to an increase in demand from the local minor league, as well as a drop in supply; there were baseball diamonds at St. Malo School, but these diamonds were removed to allow the school to expand further. 

The diamond was constructed using funds from the village’s 2024 budget, as well as funds from the village’s reserves and $20,000 in in-kind contributions. Peg City Fence Pros constructed the diamond on time and on budget, giving the citizens of St-Pierre-Jolys a new baseball diamond with which to enjoy minor league games as well as casual pickup games.

Tyler Thorne, president of Peg City Fence Pros, commented on how the construction of the baseball diamond aligns with his company’s values: “A baseball diamond is a place to play, a place to exercise, and a place to socialize. Baseball diamonds help build community, and it means a lot to the whole team at Peg City Fence Pros that we were given the opportunity to build one in a community as vibrant as St-Pierre-Jolys,” said Thorne. “We all have fond memories of playing sports as kids, and we were honoured to be able to create a space where similar memories will be made for years to come. This is the first baseball diamond we’ve ever constructed. We relish a challenge and we can’t wait to build more!”

Peg City Fence Pros is a fencing contractor serving Winnipeg and the surrounding area, including towns and villages like St-Pierre-Jolys. Though primarily fencing contractors that build wood fences, chain link fences, pool fences, vinyl fences, and more, it can also take on more specialized challenges like baseball diamonds.
