Hagerstown’s new ballpark: Picnic areas, walking paths and high expectations

From the corner of West Baltimore Street and Summit Avenue, you can see the future of baseball in the Hub City. There aren’t any home runs flying yet. But next Spring, the cranes and construction workers will be gone. The 6.25-acre site in Downtown Hagerstown will be changed into a ballpark with a capacity for about 3,000 fans. It will be a ballpark that reflects the history and traditions of this hard-working city of 43,000 people, according to planners.
