The Ballpark is a baseball stadium in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, United States. The venue has a seating capacity of 6,000 and is a former Triple-A baseball facility that was almost destroyed by years of neglect until a community organized volunteer effort revived the stadium.
The Ballpark was the 2015–2018 home of the Old Orchard Beach Surge of the independent Empire Professional Baseball League. This was the first professional baseball team in Old Orchard Beach since the Maine Phillies left in 1988.[1] Prior to the arrival of the Surge, The Ballpark was home to the Old Orchard Beach Raging Tide of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (2011) and the Futures Collegiate Baseball League (2012–2014).[2]
