Growden Memorial Park, Baseball park in Fairbanks, United States

Growden Memorial Park is a multi-purpose sports facility in Fairbanks with baseball fields and additional recreational amenities. The complex features both artificial turf and natural grass playing surfaces, seating areas, and other sports options including volleyball and skateboarding.

The park was first called Memorial Park and was renamed Growden Memorial Park in 1964 for James Growden, active in Fairbanks youth activities for years, who died with his two sons in the tsunami caused by the Good Friday Earthquake. Growden Memorial Field has hosted the Alaska Goldpanners since 1960. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2025.

Growden Memorial Field has hosted the Midnight Sun Game, played without artificial lights, since the Alaska Goldpanners made it their home in 1960. In 1967 a crowd of more than 5,200 watched the Goldpanners play Kumagai-Gumi of Japan. The park also holds the John Weaver Skate Park, four youth baseball fields, a youth softball field and volleyball courts.

Growden Memorial Park lies about 1.9 km east of central Fairbanks, with the Carlson Center next door. The ballpark seats 3,500, and the park also holds the John Weaver Skate Park, four youth baseball fields, one youth softball field and volleyball courts. The Midnight Sun Game draws crowds in summer; the 1967 edition against Kumagai-Gumi of Japan drew more than 5,200.

Each summer, visitors can experience a baseball game at midnight when natural daylight lasts so long that artificial lighting is not needed. This natural phenomenon of the midnight sun creates an unusual playing experience in the far north.
