Modern Address Central Park
Description

The park first opened (partially) in 1858. The NY Times, Jan. 13, 1859 reports that the NABBP requested that the Park Commissioners allow park grounds to use as a ball field. Same May 8, 1865 reports that a base ball grounds has been set apart at Central Park, but the Commissioners are not allowing ball games to be played there, although it appears they allow cricket.

The park commission continued to resist baseball playing by organized clubs, even though the original plans for the park included a baseball field.

A photo dated 1863 purports to show informal baseball playing in the park. Formal match games seem to be allowed by 1868.

Comment
JULY 28, 1868, THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 23, 1868 On pg. 3 under "Base Ball" are the two box scores of games played in Central Park, each with a very brief, one sentence summary. The first game was played between the Dexter and Henrietta clubs, and the second between the Dexter and Resolute clubs.
