Provident Bank Park, renamed Palisades Credit Union Park on Monday, April 25, 2016, was a stadium in Ramapo, New York. It was primarily used for baseball and was 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 was 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 Provident Bank of New York.
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.[5]
On April 14, 2016, Christopher St. Lawrence and Aaron Troodler were arrested for securities fraud related to the building of the ballpark. On April 25, 2016 it was announced that the naming rights had been sold to Palisades Federal Credit Union.
