The Community FoundationCarson Park Baseball Fundraising Group Seeks Funds to Complete Stadium Renovations Carson Park Baseball Stadium has been standing as a crown jewel in one of Eau Claire’s most beloved parks since 1936. Over the past 83 years, the stadium has been host to some of life’s most important and exciting moments: high school graduations, concerts and festivals, the City’s annual Fourth of July fireworks, and it even saw more than one person shot out of a cannon! Carson Park Stadium is, of course, best known for being Eau Claire’s home for baseball; from high school to minor league farm teams, Carson Park has seen a lot of great baseball over the years. It was the first permanent home of the Eau Claire Bears. Fans of the Bears got to watch many future star players like Bill Robinson, Denny Lemaster, Chuck Tanner, and Stan Spence. Most notably, Hall of Fame players Joe Torre, Bob Ueker, and Henry “Hank” Aaron also called the Carson Park Stadium home. More recently, stars such as Jordan Zimmermann and Kole Calhoun played at Carson Park. Carson Park Stadium enjoys the distinction of being on the Wisconsin and National Registers of Historic Places. The Stadium was built in 1936 as one of the Works Progress Administration projects, whose purpose was to create jobs, and was part of an official policy to promote baseball as a morale booster during the Great Depression. While the facility has been well kept and enjoyed some renovations over the years, the Carson Park Baseball Fundraising Group recognizes that to keep the facility in great shape and make it possible for even more people to enjoy this important part of Eau Claire’s history, major work will need to be done. Fundraising efforts are underway to match the $1.5 million dollars that the City of Eau Claire has already pledged for the project. The renovation will replace the current aluminum bleachers with a permanent structure, concession areas, apparel space, and climate-controlled restrooms. It will also allow the park to better meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, making it possible for more people to enjoy the Great American Past-Time in our All-American City.
