I am very glad to complete a set with today's post of Harrison Park, home of the Newark Peppers of the Federal League and occasional home to Newark's minor league teams of the late 1910s-early 1920s!
Google Drive Link to Harrison Park
There's an
article on the SABR website about the park and its history, which is a fun little read for history buffs.
The park burned down in 1923, just a bit before systematic aerial surveys began. One of the photos below shows the site in 1927, after the park structure was removed, but with the traces of the diamond still visible. The giant gasometers were in place at the time, as shown on the city map and apparently were rather close, as seen in the view of the outfield. I tried to reflect that in the model. The NYC skyline should have been visible according to Google Earth, though I used the 2023 skyline rather than trying to suss out what it would have been in 1915.
This completes the set of Federal League parks for OOTP! Here's where you can find them all:

. I'll note for what it's worth that Baltimore was the very first park I ever made, and Kansas City wasn't long after that, so quality may vary...
OK, now for the Harrison Park screen shots...
