The Heart of Wenatchee: A Brief History of Morris Park
In 1902, Alfred (Al) Morris arrived in Wenatchee, turning a humble hardware store into a million-dollar success story. He not only contributed to local commerce but also supported organizations like the Appleatchee Riders Club and First National Bank. His philanthropic spirit even led to a $500,000 donation to Wenatchee Valley College.
Mr. Morris’s love for youth baseball was undeniable. He sponsored a town baseball team and made significant property donations that eventually led to the creation of Morris Park, which has been the heart of Wenatchee Youth Baseball for decades. Though Mr. Morris passed away in 1968, his legacy continues to thrive.
