Jackie Robinson made his historic spring training debut at this Daytona Beach ballpark in 1946, breaking the color barrier in professional baseball and changing the sport forever. Nearly 80 years later, the 105-year-old facility is being transformed into a modern home for the Daytona Tortugas while preserving the character and significance that define it.
PHASE 1 IMPROVEMENTS
Phase 1 of the renovation delivers a wide range of upgrades for players, fans, and staff:
- State-of-the-art player development facility
- New home and away clubhouses
- New team stores and offices
- Indoor batting cages
- Upgraded dugouts and club seating areas
- Accessible parking improvements
- Infrastructure enhancements throughout the facility
The improvements position the ballpark for continued use as a premier Minor League Baseball venue while honoring the integrity of its historic site.
LOOKING AHEAD
Phase 1 marks the first chapter of a multi-phase renovation that will continue to elevate the Jackie Robinson Ballpark experience for players, fans, and the Daytona Beach community. Additional phases will build on the foundation established by this work, further modernizing one of Minor League Baseball's most storied venues.
