About U.S. Cellular Community Park

U.S. Cellular Community Park is a $30 million, 132-acre state-of-the-art sports park owned by the City of Medford and operated by the Medford Parks and Recreation Department located between U.S. Highway 99 and Interstate 5 on the southern end of Medford.
 
When complete, USCCP will feature 15 ball fields, including a five-field softball/baseball complex, a five-field multi-sport complex, two full-size baseball fields and two youth baseball/fastpitch fields. Harry & David Field, a natural-grass baseball stadium, is also part of USCCP. Additional park amenities will include an 8,000-square-foot activities pavilion, concession stands, picnic shelters and playgrounds.

USCCP is distinctive for its all-weather, fence-to-fence artificial turf playing surfaces. The facility will feature over 1.1 million square-feet of FieldTurf-brand synthetic grass -- the second-largest facility of its kind in the United States.
 
Bisected by Bear Creek, USCCP is home to the Jefferson Nature Center, which serves as a hub along the Bear Creek Greenway pathway that stretches from Ashland to Central Point.
 
U.S. Cellular purchased facility naming-rights in 2008 as a part of a six-year, $650,000 agreement -- the largest public facility per-year naming rights agreement in Oregon history.
 
The Medford Parks & Recreation Foundation seeks $5.5 million in grants and naming-rights opportunities to complete the master plan and build the remaining amenities.
