War Memorial Stadium was home to many professional
baseball teams including the Penisula Pilots up until the early 1990's. While
it will never see pro ball again, it is still getting use in the
Coastal Plain League
- a summer collegiate league. The park features a wooden grandstand
with almost all the seating covered. Except for the boxes which have
folding chairs, all the seats are wooden benches with no backs. Its
setting is residential and is almost completely surrounded by trees. Still,
it's a charming little ballpark, and a great reminder of what the minor leagues
used to be.
