Golden Park is named after Theodore Earnest Golden SR, co-founder of Goldens' Foundry and Machine Co. Golden led the effort in Columbus for the city's first South Atlantic League team. Golden Park was renovated in 1994 in anticipation of the softball events of the 1996 Summer Olympics that were held in the city of Columbus.[2][3] In 2013, Golden Park was the home of the Beep Baseball World Series Championship game. The Taiwan Homerun Team beat the Austin Blackhawks by a score of 5-2.[4] It also was the home field of the Columbus Catfish from 2003-2008.
In June 2021, the park opened back up with the home team being the Columbus Chatt-a-Hoots of the Sunbelt Baseball League.
In 2024, the Mississippi Braves announced that they would be moving to Columbus after the conclusion of their 2024 season. With the announcement of the relocation, Columbus Council members voted and approved the lease for the team to use Golden Park.[5]
