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.
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.
History is alive everywhere you look at Dodgertown. Memorabilia adorns the many walls, and the energy in the place is electric. 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.
