Thanks all, happy to learn more about Hilltop Park! I agree this appears to be Harry Lord, based on similar shots:

Interesting that O.F.C. Rye swapped their billboard from right field (in front of the distinctive peaked building) to the left field side between that first photo and this panorama shot.

If I guess correctly, the left field O.F.C. Rye billboard is the same mentioned in NY's sign-stealing "Wigwag Scheme of 1909."
