The Augusta GreenJackets, the Atlanta Braves' Single-A affiliate, play at SRP Park at 187 Railroad Avenue in North Augusta, South Carolina, a short drive across the river. The official schedule and ticket links live on milb.com; the park is clearly across the state line, so it is labeled as North Augusta, SC.
