The first West Side Park was the home of the Jersey City Skeeters of the Eastern League from 1902 through 1905.

The city directories gave a less precise location, "West Side Avenue."

The potential for confusion was mitigated by the papers often referring to the ballpark as "West Side Park baseball grounds".

"[Jersey Observer and Journal, July 28, 1905, p. 1][Courier-News 7-29-1905 p. 5][Jersey Observer and Journal, April 18, 1906, p. 2][Jersey Journal 5-1-1998 p. 31] Its precise location, as shown in Sanborn maps, was West Side Avenue (northwest, first base); Bay View Avenue (not a through street there) and then Culver Avenue (northeast, third base); buildings and Hudson Boulevard (now JFK Boulevard) (southeast, left field); and Audubon Street (southwest, right field).

[Berkshire Eagle, Apr 6, 1928, p.31] After the Skeeters folded, the ballpark site was acquired by the school later known as New Jersey City University.
