Vince Genna Stadium, Baseball stadium in Bend, Oregon, United States.
Vince Genna Stadium is a baseball stadium in Bend, Oregon, with a natural grass field and an adjacent indoor training facility called the Bend Fieldhouse. The complex also has paved pathways, year-round restrooms, and drinking fountains.
The stadium opened in 1947 as the Municipal Ball Park and was renamed in 1972 after Vince Genna, the city's parks and recreation director. The new name was a recognition of his work in building up local sports.
The stadium is home to the Bend Elks, a summer league baseball team that plays its home games here. On game days, the grounds fill with families and regulars, giving the place a lively local feel.
The stadium is easy to reach on foot and has ample parking nearby. Visiting during the playing season is the best way to see the facilities in full use.
Actor Kurt Russell played a full season here for the Bend Rainbows in 1971, before his film career took over. He was a professional player at the time, not simply a celebrity trying out the sport.
