If anyone wants to correct this, this ballpark trails at least two others currently in use in the minors. Centennial Field in Burlington, Vermont, opened as-is (an earlier field on the same site having burned down) in 1922, and Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, followed in 1926. Both host short-season teams. Savannah, Georgia, opened Municipal Stadium that same year, 1926, and it was often cited as the oldest in the minors until it lost its minor-league team to Columbia, South Carolina, after the 2015 season. However, Municipal was essentially destroyed by a 1940 hurricane and rebuilt - same site, but not the same park. I imagine this source accepts Savannah's - now William L. Grayson Stadium - as the oldest (in which case it's now outdated) and doesn't count short-season teams (in which case the entry should say so).
