• Location: La Palma Avenue at Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim, Calif.
• Opened: Late 1930s
• Additional names: Glover Stadium (football, 1974); Dee Fee Field (baseball, 1986)
• Home team: California League (1941), Sunset League (1947-48)

Part of the film The Jackie Robinson Story was shot here in 1950.

A football grandstand was added in the mid-1950s, cutting the center field distance down to just 368 feet from what had been well over 400. The football stadium was dedicated to former Anaheim Union High School athletic director Richard M. Glover after his death in 1974. Then the baseball field was dedicated to local sports volunteer Dee Forrest Fee in 1986. Today, a grating mainly obscures the old La Palma Park name. The name applies to the entire park, not just the baseball and football stadium.
