Harry & David Field is a baseball park in the northwest United States, located in Medford, Oregon.

Adjacent to US Cellular Community Park, it hosts youth and high school baseball, primarily the American Legion Medford Mustangs and the Medford Rogues, an independent collegiate wood bat team. Named for the Harry & David Corporation, which has its world headquarters located just south of the ballpark, it was the brainchild of local businessman Gary Miller.

Opened {{Years or months ago|2005}} in 2005, the ballpark replaced the demolished Miles Field, which was about a mile (1.6 km) up Highway 99, now a Walmart. Construction of the ballpark was never completed,[1] and it is off-limits to professional teams under an agreement reached between the stadium and the city, which allows only amateur baseball and other community events.[2]

It was initially thought that Harry & David Field was a part of the U.S. Cellular Community Park complex, but has been since determined that it is a separate entity. From 2012 to 2013, the stadium underwent a major renovation and expansion to accommodate the new Medford Rogues. The city's last minor league team, the Southern Oregon Timberjacks of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League, arrived in 1979 as the Medford A's. After 21 seasons at Miles Field, they left in October 1999 for British Columbia and became the Vancouver Canadians.[3]

The elevation of the natural grass playing field is approximately {{convert|1420|ft}} above sea level. It is aligned nearly due north (north by east); the recommended orientation (home plate to center field) is east-northeast.[4]
