This tiny ballpark situated south of Allentown was used during the 1999 season as a temporary home for the Lehigh Valley Black Diamonds. The team was waiting for their new ballpark in Easton to be completed (which it never was). The ballpark is part of a nice town park complex. While the Black Diamonds played here, little promoting was done and many of the games were played during the day. Consequently, crowds were often less than 100 people. The only seating at the ballpark is in the wooden grandstand. It now plays host to a team in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League which is more suitable. Why the Atlantic League even bothered to play games here is a mystery. Having never seen a game here, I cannot comment on the atmosphere or concessions.
