| Notes | Ponce de Leon Park was built in 1907 on Ponce de Leon Avenue, two miles east of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The stadium burned in 1923 and re-opened with funding from businessman R. J. Spiller. The park was home to the Atlanta Crackers, a minor league baseball team that competed in the Southern Association from 1901-1965. The ballpark was razed in 1966. |
