Memorable Moments:
This park was the first enclosed park in Philadelphia. There was a swimming pool beyond the outfield, just like in Arizona. This park was demolished before Arizona was a state. This park was so well groomed at one point, they boasted their field was "as level as a billiards table".
On a Saturday afternoon, April 22, 1876, the first National League game was played. Every other National League game that day was rained out. Boston beat the Athletics 6-5. The game took 2:05 to play and there were 26 errors committed.
This park is currently the site of the Daniel Boone Public School.
