George Burke Park

George Burke Park is an immense park in Port Arthur, completely bounded on all sides by the city is the form of housing developments, the Health Science Centre, and Riverside Cemetery.  Most of the park is undeveloped wilderness but it also boasts recreational paths, as a part of the TransCanada Trail system, and a baseball complex.  The park also has some hidden assets pointing to an earlier time in history.

George Burke Park has been their home for many many years. The current baseball diamonds are relatively new, but at least one of them has been around since the beginning. The Port Arthur Nationals, themselves, have been around for over 50 years as well and have been to the Little League World Series on a number of occasions.
