Английская Википедия:Golden Park
Golden Park is a 3,500-seat baseball stadium in Columbus, Georgia, United States, that opened in 1926 and has undergone many rebuilds and repairs. Baseball has been played near Golden Park since 1909, but in 1926, the current location has been used. In 1951, the park was significantly rebuilt, then in 1995 for the 96' Olympics. The park was damaged in 2006 causing part of the outfield wall to collapse and then strong winds (tornado) hit the stadium in 2012 and knocked the light stands off the roof, causing more damage. Located on the Chattahoochee River in Downtown Columbus, it is currently home to the Columbus Chatt-a-Hoots as of 2021 and new in 2023 the Chattahoochee Monsters, a team relocated from Oxford, AL. The exterior of the Golden Park is a red brick façade and has many well-landscaped sidewalks that connect to the Chattahoochee RiverWalk.[1]
Golden Park is named after Theodore Earnest Golden SR, co-founder of Goldens' Foundry and Machine Co. Golden led the effort in Columbus for the city's first South Atlantic League team. Golden Park was renovated in 1994 in anticipation of the softball events of the 1996 Summer Olympics that were held in the city of Columbus.[2][3] In 2013, Golden Park was the home of the Beep Baseball World Series Championship game. The Taiwan Homerun Team beat the Austin Blackhawks by a score of 5-2.[4] It also was the home field of the Columbus Catfish from 2003-2008.
In June 2021, the park opened back up with the home team being the Columbus Chatt-a-Hoots of the Sunbelt Baseball League.
In 2024, the Mississippi Braves announced that they would be moving to Columbus after the conclusion of their 2024 season. With the announcement of the relocation, Columbus Council members voted and approved the lease for the team to use Golden Park.[5]
