The Louisville Courier-Journal of June 10, 1944, p. 13, reported that the ballpark had been re-surveyed, and that centerfield (whose wall had been moved inward a few years earlier) was "only" 485 feet (148 m) from home plate; the foul line distances of 329 and 345 were confirmed.

Prior to its demolition, Parkway Field had become a homerun haven for University of Louisville Cardinals head coach Gene Baker's "Over the Wall Gang."

The 1991 team featured six Cardinals who tallied at least 15 homeruns each, Richie Hawks, Rob Newman, Greg Gooding, Dan Kopriva, Charlie Allen, and Darren Oppel.

The ballpark site is south of Eastern Parkway and west of Brook Street, near the university campus.

In the early 2000s there were still some visible remnants of the ballfield, including the poorly kept diamond, backstop, dugouts and outfield walls.
