Rendezvous Park
Rendezvous Park was a baseball stadium on the grounds of a city park by the same name in Mesa, Arizona. It most notably served as a Major League Baseball spring training ballpark used by the Chicago Cubs from 1952 to 1965 and by the Oakland Athletics from 1969 to 1976.
The stadium was closed in 1976 when it was replaced by the construction of the original Hohokam Stadium a mile to the north.
The stadium site and surrounding park were subsequently redeveloped, with part becoming the site of the Mesa Convention and Conference Center.
The park which contained the stadium was first created circa 1895 and was known as Depot Park, in reference to the nearby railway station. Following the closure and relocation of the railway station the park came to be known as Drew's Park.
As early as 1912, Drew's Park came to be known as a popular spot to play baseball as detailed by newspaper articles at the time.
By the early 1920s the park had been renamed again, this time to Rendezvous Park.
In 1920, the first official community ball field was constructed at the park near the corner of 2nd Street and Sirrine Avenue, assuming the same name as the park that surrounded it.
In its early years the stadium consisted of a small stand of bleachers behind home plate and along the first base line and had no fence, instead being lined with trees.
