Wisconsin Brewing Company Park is a baseball stadium in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, part of the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Built in 2021, the Park is home to the Lake Country DockHounds and independent professional baseball team in the American Association of Professional Baseball. The stadium was designed to fit soccer or lacrosse fields, and has an all artificial turf field so it can be used from when the snow melts to when the snow falls. The stadium is one part of the larger Lake Country Live development that also includes an attached indoor training facility.

History[]

Diamond Club Entertainment, LLC, investors began searching for a Waukesha County baseball stadium site back in 2018. The first site was in the city of Pewaukee. Originally called Lake Country Commons the proposal included a public market and two multi-family housing units in addition to the stadium.[1] With opposition mounting the focus shifted to a farm along I-94 in Summit. This proposal included an indoor sports training facility along with the stadium.[2] The focus shifted down the road to the Pabst Farms development in Oconomowoc.[3] On March 3, 2020, the Oconomowoc common counsel approved the building of the stadium and attached training facility.[4] Just weeks later Governor Tony Evers signed his safer at home order,[5] putting a hold on the construction. Ground was broken on, June 29, 2001 for the stadium. The DockHounds partnered with the Wisconsin Brewing Company, a craft brewing company based in Verona, Wisconsin, in a naming rights deal. The stadium will be called Wisconsin Brewing Company Park.[6]
