Millett Field (also Millet Field) is the oldest, continuously used public park in Chehalis, Washington and is most noted as home to a Chehalis minor-league baseball team in the early 20th century. The ballfield was regularly used as the central hub of Chehalis sporting activity for decades, including hosting games for several Negro League teams in the 1920s. Located one block north of the NRHP-listed O. B. McFadden House, the 3.3-acre (1.3 ha) park began in 1898 with an official opening in 1908.
