About
Columbia Park or Columbia Avenue Grounds was a baseball park in the Brewerytown neighborhood of Philadelphia. It was built in 1901 as the first home of the American League Philadelphia Athletics, who played there for eight seasons, including two games of the 1905 World Series. Columbia Park was also used by amateur and Negro League baseball teams, as well as for college and professional football. Columbia Park was repurposed and used for circus performances in 1909 after the Athletics' move to the larger Shibe Park. The site would be sold in 1913 and developed with residential housing.
