Community Field

Community Field is a baseball stadium in Burlington with a playing field designed for professional games. The facility includes covered spectator areas, a press box, and modern lighting that illuminates the field for evening events.

The stadium opened in 1947 as home to the Burlington Indians, a minor league team affiliated with Cleveland. A major fire destroyed the grandstand in 1971, but temporary seating allowed games to resume immediately.

The Friends of Community Field organization raises funds through local initiatives and events to maintain and enhance the stadium facilities for the community.

The venue is easy to reach with nearby parking for visitors attending games. It helps to arrive early during game season to find good seating or check ahead for any special arrangements.

After a fire destroyed the grandstand in 1971, managers quickly erected temporary bleachers so the season could continue without cancellations. Local fans still remember this swift decision as a sign of the community's determination to keep baseball alive.
