Description	The Riverside Park (est. 1864) was used for the 1867 New England Baseball Tournament, as well as other baseball games. This was a Trotting horse race park, aka Beacon Park. It was situated in Allston, today a neighborhood of Boston, on the Charles River, bounded by Cambridge St. on the north and the railroad tracks on the south and west. The modern Doubletree Hotel sits on the northeast corner of the park. An image of a game being played in this park is in the New England Base Ballist, Aug. 6, 1868. A letter to the American Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1868, says this park was opened in the fall of 1867, and was fenced.
