Home of the L.A./Anaheim/California Angels for one season, LA Wrigley Field was built as a minor league ballpark. After the city of Los Angeles did not build parking facilities for the minor league team Los Angeles Angels home, Washington Park, owner William Wrigley Jr., decided to build a new ballpark. For his team Wrigley drew plans for a new ballpark that was very similar to Wrigley Field in Chicago. Construction began in 1924 and the ballpark, named after Wrigley, opened on September 29, 1925. Lights were installed on July 22, 1931.

L.A. Wrigley Field was home to Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels for 33 years. The double decked grandstand extended from the left field foul pole to home plate and around to the right field foul pole. Bleachers and a scoreboard were located in right field. The 15 foot high outfield wall was just like Wrigley Field in Chicago with ivy growing on it. However, one feature made LA Wrigley Field different from the one in Chicago. A twelve story office tower was at the entrance of the ballpark. From the playing field a clock was visible on the tower. The last PCL game was on September 15, 1957. The ballpark remained empty until MLB awarded the area an expansion franchise, the Angels, that became part of the American League. The Angels played only one season at L.A. Wrigley Field, 1961, then moved into Dodger Stadium with the Los Angeles Dodgers until 1965. The Angels moved into their own home, Anaheim Stadium in 1966. L.A. Wrigley Field was dismantled soon after and a playground now sits on the site.
