GOODYEAR BALLPARK

CHAIN OF LAKES PARK
The Indians trained for several years at Winter Haven't Chain of Lakes Park, originally built in 1966 as the spring home of the Boston Red Sox. A 1993 renovation did nothing to diminish the ballpark's mid-1960's charm: the covered grandstand is perfectly proportioned, and if you wander a little around the grandstand's small concourse you can easily see the other practice fields in the facility as well as Lake Lulu. While there's a good amount of seating here, there's not a lot of room for amenities: there's a small concourse in the back of the grandstand and a small concourse near the souvenir shop down the third-base line.
The ballpark will likely be torn down in the next year, as Winter Haven eyes a redevelopment there.
