Neil Park (Columbus, Ohio)

Neil Park was a baseball park in Columbus, Ohio.

It was the home field of several Columbus professional baseball teams, notably the Columbus Senators, from 1900 until it was abandoned in mid-season 1932 with the opening of Red Bird stadium.

It is sometimes referred to as "Neil Park I" and "Neil Park II" by historians. Its first incarnation had the diamond in the southeast corner. The park was rebuilt in 1905 with the diamond in the southwest corner.

Its location was listed in early city directories as "west side Cleveland Avenue north of Buckingham Street." Later directories have it as "west side Cleveland Avenue opposite Fort Hayes." A section of Interstate Highway 670 now runs through the site. The remaining land is occupied by various industrial buildings.
