Savin Rock Park, New Haven

Here's another New England park from c. 1920: Savin Rock Park in New Haven. As was the style in many parts of North America, this ballpark was adjacent to/associated with an amusement park. As was the case with Worcester, New Haven was one of the 20 largest metro areas in the US c. 1920 but went for several decades without minor league baseball. In New Haven's case, the demise of the Eastern League during the depression was the culprit.

There were a few different parks used in New Haven during this period depending on the day of the week, plus some of them went by different names. I tried not to make this park an amalgamation of several New Haven parks, but I might have accidentally done so anyhow. Otherwise, while I don't have any teams regularly playing in this park in my sim, I have used it and it seems more or less fine. I'm not crazy about the way the amusement park beyond the CF-RF fence looks, but perhaps it's good enough for now...
