The ballpark is just a 3.5 mile bike ride to the heart of Northfield enabling all riders to enjoy the charming town and all the fun and excitement that DJJD has to offer after your ride. You’ll find restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, shopping, a distillery, and 3 bike shops, all within proximity of the starting and ending point at Dundas Dukes Ball Park.

Parking will be in a parking lot and on the residential streets around the park. Please be a good neighbor and park your vehicle in a responsible manner. No overnight parking at the park.
