When Charlie Ebbets acquired the Dodgers, he moved the team back, to the second version of Washington Park, which was both closer to the city center and offered a lower rent.

It was also the home venue of the short-lived Brooklyn Bridegrooms Soccer Team in 1894.

Brooklyn were top of the league when the uncompleted season was cancelled and play never resumed.

The old ballpark site is now home to a mix of commercial and light industrial tenants including Gershow Recycling scrap yard.
