Recreation Park

(Philadelphia)

Recreation Park is a former baseball park in Philadelphia.


The ballpark was the first home of the Philadelphia Phillies of the National League during the years 1883-1886, prior to the opening of the arena that became known as Baker Bowl.

The park was bounded by 23rd Street, Ridge Avenue, 25th Street and Columbia Avenue (which in 1987 was renamed Cecil B. Moore Avenue after the civil-rights leader).

Other than a historical marker, the site is now occupied mostly by run-down urban housing.
