Skylands Park

Skylands Park is a baseball stadium located in Augusta, New Jersey. It is the home field for the New Jersey Cardinals of the New York - Penn League. Official seating capacity is 4,356.
Ground was broken in the fall of 1993 for a new park that would host the relocated Glens Falls, New York Redbirds. The winter of 1994 brought the worst weather in several years to northwest New Jersey, but the new ballpark managed to open on time that June.
The park is designed to look a little bit like a farm complex from the outside. Augusta has long been the home of dairy farms, and the Cardinals wanted to make their stadium blend in.
In 1999, the field also hosted several games for the Newark Bears of the independent Atlantic League, prior to the completion of their new home, Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium.
