Riverside Park, Dawson Springs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dawson Springs' Riverside Park was originally built in 1914 to serve as a spring training park for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1914-1917. This is the only known baseball park in Kentucky to have hosted a major league team since the Louisville Colonels folded in 1899. The park was reconstructed out of wood, just like the original stadium. It is the only ballpark of its kind in Western Kentucky. Riverside Park is now home to the Tradewater Pirates.

Riverside Park is open daily beginning at 9:00 a.m. and closing at sunset, whenever no events are scheduled.
