Richmond City Grandstand & Baseball Field

History

The Richmond City Grandstand and Baseball Field were constructed in 1936 and are located within the Richmond City Recreation Park. There were three main factors in the construction of the grandstand and baseball field.

In 2005, the Grandstand and Baseball Field were listed in the National Registry of Historic Places for its "events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history," and the "property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction." Areas of significance are entertainment/recreation, architecture and social history.

In 2015, the Grandstand was painted to its current tan color.
