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.
