The site where Hilltop Park once stood remained vacant until the land was purchased by Edward S. Harkness for the express purpose of building the world's first academic medical center.
 Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center opened in 1928 and is now called NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Some of the buildings visible in the background of ballpark photos still stand.
They include a trio of six-story buildings at the northwest corner of Broadway and 168th (behind center field); and the Fort Washington Avenue Armory (behind left field), which was built in 1911.
The site of the hearing-impaired institution to the southwest is now a parking lot for the Medical Center.
Most of the other buildings visible in ballpark photos are gone, including the five-story Public School 169, behind right-center field.

On September 30, 1993 a plaque was placed on the hospital grounds to mark the former location of home plate in Hilltop Park.
The plaque was donated to the hospital by the New York Yankees to commemorate the exact location of where home plate rested in Hilltop Park.
The plaque is bronze and is the same size and shape as a regulation home plate.
The text on the plaque reads,
"Dedicated to Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and the community of Washington Heights by the New York Yankees to mark the exact location of home plate in Hilltop Park, home of the New York Highlanders, from 1903 to 1912, later renamed the New York Yankees."
