Arcata Ball Park is a collegiate baseball venue in the Western United States, located in Arcata, California. Opened in 1941, it is the home of the summer collegiate Humboldt Crabs. Arcata Ball Park is located at the corner of F Street and 9th Street in downtown Arcata, near the Plaza. The ballpark is tightly surrounded by a bus station on the third base side, busy F Street on the first base side, the Arcata Police Station and library behind right field, and Highway 101 just over the left field fence.
The ballpark, a Works Progress Administration project, was approved in 1936, finalized in 1937, and completed in 1938, for a cost of $11,577.[2] The ballpark's original wood grandstands stood until May 1978, but the original wood facade entrance still stands as the entrance today.[3]
