SRP Park
History
SRP Park opened in 2018 in North Augusta, South Carolina, providing the Augusta GreenJackets with a modern riverfront ballpark that transformed the franchise and catalyzed development across the Savannah River from Augusta, Georgia. The 4,782-seat stadium was the anchor of Project Jackson, a massive mixed-use development that aimed to revitalize North Augusta's waterfront. The ballpark replaced Lake Olmstead Stadium in Augusta, and the relocation across the river — and across the state line — was controversial but produced a facility and a fan experience that silenced most critics.
The stadium's design by Populous takes advantage of its riverside setting, with views of the Savannah River and the Augusta skyline available from multiple points in the facility. The compact seating bowl creates an intimate atmosphere, and the continuous concourse allows fans to maintain views of the game while moving through the ballpark. The outfield area features gathering spaces, a children's play area, and food and beverage options that extend the entertainment value beyond the game itself.
The GreenJackets serve as the Single-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, and SRP Park has hosted young Braves prospects in the early stages of their professional careers. The franchise name references the green jacket awarded to the winner of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, connecting the team to the city's most famous sporting event. The ballpark has become a destination for minor league baseball fans across the Central Savannah River Area, and its success has validated the controversial decision to relocate from Augusta proper.
SRP Park's impact on North Augusta has been dramatic. The surrounding Project Jackson development has brought hotels, restaurants, residential towers, and entertainment venues to a stretch of riverfront that was previously underdeveloped. The naming rights deal with Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRP) reflects the importance of the Savannah River Site to the local economy. For the Augusta metropolitan area, the ballpark has created a new center of gravity on the South Carolina side of the river.
