Polar Park, Worcester

Polar Park is a state-of-the-art baseball stadium, serving as the home field for the Worcester Red Sox, a Triple-A Minor League Baseball team affiliated with the Boston Red Sox. The park officially opened for the 2021 Triple-A season and can accommodate up to 9,508 spectators. Named after Polar Beverages, a local company that secured the naming rights, the ballpark is a significant addition to Worcester's sports and entertainment landscape.

The construction of Polar Park is a cornerstone of a broader $240 million redevelopment initiative in Worcester's Kelley Square and Canal District. This ambitious project aims to revitalize the area, transforming it into a vibrant mixed-use community hub. The development plan includes the addition of 250 residential apartments, two hotels with a combined total of 250 rooms, a 96,000-square-foot office building that provides a scenic view of the left field playing area, and 65,000 square feet of retail space comprising shops and restaurants.

The Polar Park not only enhances the local sports scene but also contributes to the cultural and economic vitality of Worcester, making it a pivotal element in the city's ongoing transformation.
