Ponce De Leon Park

Ponce de Leon Park opened in 1903 as an all-wood stadium and became the longtime home of the minor league Atlanta Crackers, who moved in fully in 1907, as well as the Atlanta Black Crackers of the Negro Leagues. A fire destroyed the wooden park in 1923, and it was rebuilt in concrete and steel for the 1924 season under the name Spiller Park, after concessionaire Rell Jackson Spiller, before reverting to the Ponce de Leon name in 1932. One of its best known features was a magnolia tree that stood in play in front of the scoreboard in right-center field, and the park was torn down in 1966 after the Crackers' final season.
