In 1926 the City Council decided to construct a new enclosed soccer field in Guelph. The field would be located in one end of Lyon Park, near the the city waterworks property. In the end of April 1926 work started on the ground. It was to have a fenced in area of 360×240 feet and estimated cost was $2,000.
The ground was used by Guelph Taylor-Forbes when they played in the National Soccer League in the 1928 season.
Lyon Park was used in the 1930’s by the famous Lancashire Felt Football Club until they disbanded in 1937.
