context_page_description: Kavanaugh Field was a minor league baseball park in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was the home of the Little Rock Travelers prior to their move to Travelers Field in 1932. The ballpark opened in 1901, as West End Park. In 1915 it was renamed for former team owner and Southern Association president William M. Kavanaugh, after he had died from a sudden illness in February 1915.
  West End Park was the spring training site for the Boston Red Sox in 1907 and 1908.
  As part of vacating the ballpark after 1931, the property was sold to nearby Little Rock Central High School. The field was converted to football specifications and was renamed Quigley Stadium. The field is west of the school and the school's baseball field. The other boundaries are West Daisy L. Gatson Bates Drive, West 16th Street and Jones Street.
