History

The park opened in 1973 and holds 1,500 spectators. It is named after Ichiro "Iron" Maehara, a Maui baseball advocate. It is located next to War Memorial Stadium.

Maehara Stadium is home to the Maui Interscholastic League Baseball and American Legion Games. In 1974, it played host to the Hawaii State Championship Game, featuring University of Hawaii pitching legend, then Aiea High School's sophomore sensation Derek Tatsuno against Baldwin High School's (Island of Maui) ace pitcher Tom Valdez. The pitching contest ended in a 1–0 decision in favor of Aiea High School. Valdez was drafted later that year by the St. Louis Cardinals. Tatsuno went on to star at the University of Hawaii and professional baseball in Japan.
