St. Cloud Commons was originally established in 1910, with the opening of St. Cloud Commons Baseball Field.[2] Years later in the 1930s, the St. Clouds Commons extended with the addition of a Lodge, that served a community center for West Huntington.[3]
Minor League Baseball
In 1990, the Huntington Cubs, an affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, were the first tenants at the baseball field. The team dissolved after four seasons of the Appalachian League in 1994.[4][5] Four years later in 1998 the Huntington Rail Kings, had a year stunt at the baseball field while not finishing the 1997-1998 Heartland League season.[6][7]
21st Century Renovations

Recognized as an Inclusion National Demonstration Site, the playground features a nature design with sensory play opportunities and various interactive play activities at elevated and ground levels.[8][9] Three years later in 2021, the St. Cloud Commons playground opened their splash park.[10][11]
