Haight Street Grounds was one of San Francisco's earliest baseball parks; it was also used for college football.

Haight Street Grounds was built for use by the California League and was located on the east side of Golden Gate Park, bounded by Stanyan, Waller, Shrader, and Frederick streets,[2] across Stanyan from the eventual Kezar Stadium complex.

The opening game on April 3, 1887,[a] between the Haverlys and the Pioneers, was attended by 10,000 fans.

[3] In 1893, the California League folded, and, in March 1895, plans were announced to use the ballpark land for residential development.

[5] While built for baseball, Haight Street Grounds is noteworthy for being the birthplace of the Big Game, a now annual college football game between Stanford and California.
