Recreation Park Baseball Stadium #1 was the second of three baseball venues in the city with the name "Recreation" in its title. Recreation Grounds Baseball Field was San Francisco's first enclosed baseball field and operated from about 1868 into the 1890s, although its exact location is unknown. The second venue, Recreation Park Baseball Stadium #1, was erected in the 1890s at 8th Street and Harrison Street. It served as the home field for the Pacific Coast League's San Francisco Seals from 1903 until the Earthquake and Fire of April 18, 1906. A third field, Recreation Park Baseball Stadium #2, opened the year after the quake in San Francisco's Mission District at 15th Street and Valencia Street.

In 1903, Recreation Park #1 was home to one of the 6 original teams comprising the Pacific Coast League: The Los Angeles Angels, Portland Beavers, Oakland Oaks, Sacramento Solons, San Francisco Seals, and Seattle Indians.

Destroyed in 1906.
