Jackie Robinson Ballpark

Home to the Minor League team Daytona Tortugas (Single-A Affiliate of the MLB Cincinnati Reds) and the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats.

The site is on the Florida Black Heritage Trail and in November 1998, Jackie Robinson Ballpark was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The park features a statue of Jackie Robinson, historical markers and a museum.

History

The historic ballpark opened on June 4, 1914 and is the oldest ballpark still used in Minor League Baseball. The ballpark was renamed after Jackie Robinson in 1989, with a statue being added outside the Orange Avenue Gate to celebrate Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier and playing his first professional game at the ballpark.
