Hagemeister Park

Hagemeister Park was a public park in Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States. It became notable as the first home of the Green Bay Packers, an American football team, from their founding in 1919 until 1922. The park was beside the East River, within the city limits. It was noted for its natural beauty and ease of access, making it a popular spot in Green Bay for outdoor activities. In the early 20th century it hosted carnivals, fairs, and vehicle racing. The park also served as a venue for multiple sports, including baseball and football.

When the Packers were formed in 1919, they used the park for their games. At the time, the park had no amenities and no seating, and attendance was free. Some fans would stand beside the field while others parked and sat on their cars for a better view. In 1920, bleachers and a fence were built, and the team began charging for admission. The sports facilities at the park were expanded to include a grandstand and additional bleachers, which were used by multiple baseball and football teams. In 1923, construction of Green Bay East High School began in the park, forcing the Packers to move their games to Bellevue Park. A few years later, City Stadium was built just north of Hagemeister Park; it was home to the Packers for over 30 years. A sign for the Packers Heritage Trail is the only remaining marker of Hagemeister Park.
