Medford Klamath Falls, OR, November 5, 2026 — A proposed minor league baseball stadium project in Medford is slated for review by the City Council. The proposal aims to construct the stadium on a portion of Hawthorne Park, identified as Medford’s largest downtown green space.
The Medford City Council is scheduled to review design plans for the potential minor league baseball stadium. The proposed location for the facility is half of Hawthorne Park, a significant public green space within the downtown area. Public input on the project is expected to be a key part of the upcoming discussions.
A public comment period regarding the stadium proposal has been scheduled for November 18. This date will provide an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to voice their opinions and concerns directly to the council.
The issue has been highlighted in a recent guest column, which reportedly voices opposition to the stadium’s development in Hawthorne Park. The author of the column advocates for preserving the park exclusively as public green space, rather than allocating a portion of it for commercial or recreational facilities such as a baseball stadium.
Details regarding the specific design elements of the proposed stadium, the entities involved in its development, or the projected timelines beyond the review and public comment periods were not provided in the summary. The duration of the review process and any subsequent decisions by the City Council also remain to be detailed.
