Recreation Ballpark is a minor league baseball park in Visalia, California. With only 1,888 seats (2,468 capacity with 'pasture' grass lawn), it is the smallest professional ballpark in the United States. The ballpark is undergoing its most extensive renovation since its construction in 1946. This renovation will include an expanded seating on the third base side, and an all new grandstand. The park currently serves as the home to the Visalia Rawhide of the California League. The Rawhide is a High-A minor league affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2009, the City of Visalia completed a multimillion dollar renovation and expansion of Recreation Ballpark supported by a ten-year lease with the ballclub, the longest lease in franchise history.
