Palisades Credit Union Park, originally known as Provident Bank Park, is a stadium in Ramapo, New York. It is primarily used for baseball and is the home field of the Rockland Boulders of the independent Can-Am Association. It opened on June 16, 2011, a 3-1 win for the Boulders against the Brockton Rox.[2] The stadium is also home to the St. Thomas Aquinas College baseball team (NCAA Division II), who began playing all their home games at the venue in the spring of 2012.[4] Naming rights were purchased by Palisades Federal Credit Union, with the new ballpark name being announced on Monday, April 25, 2016.[5]
In 2012, the project to design and build the stadium received the Ward House Award from the Lower Hudson Valley Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers.[6]
On April 14, 2016, Christopher St. Lawrence and Aaron Troodler were arrested for securities fraud related to the building of the ballpark.
