Dawson Springs'
Riverside Park was originally built in
1914 to serve as a spring training park for the
Pittsburgh Pirates from
1914-
1917. This is the only known
baseball park in
Kentucky to have hosted a major league team. The park was reconstructed out of wood, just like the original stadium. It is the only ballpark of its kind in
Western Kentucky[?]. Riverside Park is now home to the
Tradewater Pirates.
Riverside Park is open daily beginning at 9:00 a.m. and closing at sunset, whenever no events are scheduled.
