For the 2018 season, the Augusta GreenJackets moved across the river from Lake Olmstead Stadium in Augusta, a not-very-old ballpark that had seen some significant wear and tear over its 27 years. This new park, right on the Savannah River, is the centerpiece of a new residential and hotel district on the South Carolina side of the river, just down the hill from North Augusta city hall. Remarkably, this relocation puts an out-of-state team in the Palmetto State for the second time, as the Charlotte Knights played in Fort Mill, S.C., for 24 seasons.

The naming sponsor is a credit union originally formed to serve employees of the Savannah River Plant, a nuclear reactor site opened in the 1950s where, among other things, the subatomic particle known as the neutrino was discovered. SRP Federal Credit Union is based in North Augusta.

The handsome facility features a now-common wraparound concourse with multiple social areas especially in the outfield. One nice feature is an upper-deck bar and viewing area beyond right field that provides a good look not only at the action, but also at the river. Additionally, there is an apartment complex in left field from which some residents can view the game. Otherwise, the seating bowl is in a single level, appropriate for this level of play. There is a season ticket holder lounge on an upper level along the first-base line.

There is a parking garage a block or two from the field; the team runs golf cart shuttles if fans need them. It is also possible to park on neighborhood streets.
