The North Ogden Baseball Field, in North Ogden, Weber County, was built in 1901, and the existing Grandstand was built between 1936 and 1937. The ball field and grandstand are locally significant under Criterion A in the Area of Entertainment/Recreation, due to their association with the development of baseball in Northern Utah. They are locally significant under Criterion A in the Area of Social History due to their connection to the WPA program, and the North Ogden Cherry Days. The North Ogden Cherry Days is a significant community event celebrating the cherry harvest, and has occurred in North Ogden since 1932. The Grandstand is also locally significant under Criterion C in the Area of Architecture as Weber County’s only remaining grandstand from its era, exemplifying the handiwork of WPA workers in the mid-1930s. The current grandstand replaced the original one which had been constructed with the rest of the baseball park back in 1901, but which was destroyed by wind in 1910. Recreational community baseball/softball, as well as the annual Cherry Days festival continue to be held on the site and remain an important part of North Ogden City. The period of significance is 1901, when the ball field was first constructed, to 1975, or fifty years ago, as the resources are still currently utilized for historic uses. The field and grandstand both retain good historic integrity.
