 Chicago Park District: Oriole Park
Oriole Park was created by the Edison Park District, one of 22 independent park boards consolidated into the Chicago Park District in 1934.
Still, local children used the new park enough to prompt a neighboring farmer to ask that a fence be erected to prevent stray baseballs from ruining his crops.

 Baseball Prospectus | Articles | What's That Park Like?
This park factor is generally arrived at by comparing the number of runs scored in all games in team's home park and comparing that to the number of runs scored in that team's road games.
A park with a park factor of 95 one year and 100 the next very likely cannot be said to be relatively easier to hit in the second year.
But to conclude that, say, Oriole Park is not friendly to hitters, based only on what has taken place there the last five years, is to ignore that there is randomness in what appears to be good or bad for hitters and it is to overstate the reliability of park-factor calculations.

Camden Yards is arguably the most influential ballpark built since Shibe Park and Forbes Field pioneered the modern fireproof baseball stadium in 1909.
Inside, it is the first big-league park since Ebbets Field to have an outfield wall made up entirely of angled straight wall segments.
