Waverly Fairgrounds

Waverly Fairgrounds

Waverly Fairgrounds or Waverly Park was the home of the Elizabeth Resolutes baseball club. The Resolutes participated in the National Association 1873 season, so Waverly is considered a major league ballpark by those who count the NA as a major league.

The park was located in a community called Waverly, which was bordered by Lower Road, Haynes Avenue, and Frelinghuysen Street. The site is now split by Weequahic Park in Newark [ [http://travel2.nytimes.com/2004/10/15/travel/15BFOOT.html?ex=1164949200&en=9638b29573904214&ei=5070 Post-Roth Newark] , "The New York Times", October 15, 2004] and B'nai Jeshuron Cemetery in Elizabeth.
