That sentence doesn't work, perhaps you mean something like:

Where various outdoor games once ruled, the field is now being dominated by... (something else).

Thank you.....just a small question like

Can I use once at the beginning of the sentence? Like....

Once where various outdoor games ruled, sth is now dominant there.

That doesn't quite work, sorry.

The only usage of 'once where' is in two different clauses of a sentence, where the second part adds information to the first:

I read a book once, where the characters all moved to a desert island.
She saw a film once, where the hero took flight in a hot air balloon.
