Hinchliffe Stadium is one of the last remaining Negro Leagues stadiums in the United States and is located within the boundaries of Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. The only ballpark in the National Park System, Hinchliffe served as the home park for the New York Black Yankees, New York Cubans, and on occasion, the Newark Eagles. In April 2021, the city broke ground on an ambitious $94 million renovation project — which encompasses much more than the refurbishment of the sports arena — to be completed in August 2022. The National Park Service is holding a Facebook live event Saturday, Feb. 27 about the stadium.
