Since 1908, the area of Prescott, Arizona now known as Ken Lindley Field has been used as a public park and ballfield. Charles T. and Ada M. Joslin deeded the land to the City of Prescott in 1922. Today this park takes up one entire city block and is bordered by Willis Street to the north, Arizona Ave to the east, Gurley Street to the south and Washington Avenue to the west. In 1934, the area surrounding the baseball field was defined for the construction of bleachers and tennis courts. These were constructed of native stone as a Civil Works Administration project along with the Smoki Museum and the wall around the Citizens Cemetery. In 1971, the ballfield officially renamed the “Ken Lindley Field” in memory of Prescott’s Chief of Police, who coached and managed youth baseball in Prescott from the 1950s until his death in 1971. The park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
