Welcome to Historic Dodgertown, formerly the home of the Brooklyn and LA Dodgers, and now a spectacular training complex for high school, college and professional sports teams. You can go see games, tour the facility, eat delicious treats, and with an events page stacked to the brim, there is always something to do and look forward to.

A rich history on the property that is steeped in tradition!

 Historic Dodgertown is one of the most impressive and unique facilities ever constructed. Players trained, dined and stayed in housing all on site. These exact grounds were the home of the Dodgers from 1948 – 2008, and although renovations and upgrades have occurred over the years, fans can come and walk the SAME fields that Jackie Robinson and Sandy Koufax once trained on.

The aforementioned memorabilia is quite the tone setter as well, as images of Duke Snider circling the bases after a home run, or Jackie Robinson taking a lead off second base really brings the historic grounds to life. It’s hard to not let your imagination run wild with all those historic moments happening around you.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY:

    I work at a small non-profit in Pennsylvania and we hosted our first-ever couples retreat here at Island View. Our stay and event went smoothly, the hosts were accommodating, transportation was easy from the MLB airport, and easy to commute via bike/car to town if we needed anything. There was a lot to do: kayaking, canoeing, fishing, small beach access, plenty of games and the pier. The cottages are charming - each decorated differently, so you can really choose what you'd like for your stay. It's a safe, smoke-free environment and it's also quiet which fit nicely for a retreat weekend.

    We recently stayed here during a couples retreat and it was an amazing experience! This place is so cute! We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings, lounging in the hammock and hanging out on the dock. Super clean and comfortable! Would definitely stay again!

    Had the opportunity to stay here over a long weekend. The location is great! Close to some amazing restaurants & a short drive to A1A. The property is well maintained, quiet, & has a lot to offer including on-site fishing & kayaking. The cottage we stayed in was modern & extremely clean. Christy is an amazing host & goes out of her way to help you with anything you may need. Our whole weekend at Island View was amazing! Already planning a trip back!!
