Edinburgh Square, Caledonia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Edinburgh Square, Caledonia Edinburgh Square is a public space and historic site in Caledonia, Ontario. It includes a War Memorial, and lawn bowling and baseball fields. The Old Town Hall of Caledonia is located on the square. ==The Square== For many years, Edinburgh Square was one of five planned squares. The first Horticultural Society, organized in 1910, planted many trees and other plants on Edinburgh Square some of which are still standing around the Cenotaph. Prior to the construction of the Town Hall in 1857, Edinburgh Square was known as Market Square, as it was a market for farmer’s produce and meats. Over the years, tennis, lacrosse, boxing, ice skating on an outdoor rink and Canadian football have been played on the Square. Rodeos and an annual circus also were held on this location. Until 1950, parties were held there during the July 1 celebrations. Those holiday events usually included an all-day baseball tournament, which continued until the festivities were relocated to the Band Shell in Kinsmen Park on the west side of town. The Square was also the centre for political rallies. The Edinburgh Square’s baseball diamond is one of five diamonds in Caledonia, although, at one time, it was the only baseball diamond in Caledonia. The lawnbowling green there remains the only one in town. There is a Cenotaph, which each year draws large crowds for the November 11 Remembrance Day services. The number of cars parked on the square the first weekend in October indicates how large the crowd is for the annual Caledonia Fair held just east of the square on the fairgrounds. The outdoor ice rink during the winter months attracts hockey and skating enthusiasts from all parts of the community.
