Vision Park and the diamond complex was constructed 35 years ago, consisting of 24 diamonds, by volunteers and the Kinsmen Club of Edson. After humble beginnings Vision Park was home to a large local league and grew in stature to host the largest Slo-pitch tournament in Canada (Edson Kinsmen Slo-pitch tournament). After many years of operations and volunteer numbers decreasing, Kinsmen Vision Park was deferred to the Town of Edson by the Edson Kinsmen Club in 2018.

Vision Park had deteriorated substantially and the final years of operations with the Kinsmen Club saw the Park receive little maintenance and upkeep due to financial constraints and well as volunteer constraints of the Edson Kinsmen Club.

The Town of Edson now wishes to revitalize and rehabilitate Vision Park with the assistance of a thorough plan and detailed process.
