On January 25, 1934, Oscar Goldsmith, Lawrence B. Goldsmith, Annie Schiffman Goldsmith, Robert L. Schiffman, and Strauss Schiffman gave this property to the City of Huntsville for an athletic field. The gift was in memory of Betty Bernstein Goldsmith (wife of Oscar and mother of Lawrence and Betty Herstein Schiffman (wife of Isaac and mother of the other donors). The Civil Works Administration provided the $6500 in materials and labor to construct the field, the first in Huntsville to accommodate night athletic games. The Acme Club raised fund for lighting through season ticket sales. Dedication exercises were held during the first night game on October 4, 1934, when 1000 fans saw Coach Milton Frank's Huntsville High team defeat Gadsen High.
