Opened 60 years ago in 1964, it currently hosts college summer baseball league and area American Legion games. Originally known as "Municipal Ball Park", it was renamed 52 years ago in June 1972 for Vince Genna (1921–2007), the director of the city's parks & recreation department and former American Legion coach.
