[6] WellSpan Park was honored as the "Ballpark of the Year" by the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball following the end of its 2008 regular season.

The award recognizes the efforts of the Revolution staff and groundskeepers, judging such criteria as field conditions, stadium operations, cleanliness, and atmosphere.

The ballpark was originally slated to be located at Small Athletic Field, on York City School District property.

The district board vetoed the stadium as they believed that their money could be better used for a more practical renovation plan for Small Athletic Field.

[9] Over the span of three years, ballpark planning weathered many inclines and declines until a hard-fought agreement was made to build in the Arch Street neighborhood.

[11] The first pitch of the All-Star Game was thrown out by former Dover High School football player and then Green Bay Packer John Kuhn.

In 1955, Robinson played with York's previous team, the White Roses, and at the end of the season was signed by in the Baltimore Orioles.

Architects were challenged to fit a ballpark between Arch Street and a parallel railway line less than 600 feet (180 m) away and to provide a minimal amount of onsite parking (200 spaces) in the same plan.

Additional attractions include the Mezzogiorno Picnic Pavilion, with a capacity for 600 fans, that features a menu with traditional ballpark fare as well as regional favorites.

The First Capital Credit Union Team Store, the York Revolution's official souvenir and apparel vendor, remains open throughout the year at the home plate entrance of WellSpan Park.

The cannon is operated by a mascot named Cannonball Charlie, who wears a costume resembling a period Continental Army uniform.
