My Photos in 2001

This photo shows the same spot as in the 1951 photo above.

This little area is a memorial to the old ballpark.

There is a nice plaque talking about the park's history.

A close-up of the marker.

This looks in toward where the plate was from the former centerfield.

The bank drive-through approach is about where the infield was.

This looks down what was the third base line.


Other visitor comments about this page
As I grew up in Richfield, I rode by this spot every Sunday on my way to church. My dad often shared that there used to be a baseball stadium where the bank was, and he told of several great players who played there. However, I had never seen a picture of the stadium until today. This is very nice -- I wondered for forty years what this stadium looked like. THANKS! Loren Johnson, Ames, Iowa (Grew up in Richfield,Mn), 10/31/02 06:07:41
