Jackie Robinson Ballpark is truly a miniature Wrigley Field. Sitting in the grandstand really gave you a sense of sitting in the grandstand in Chicago right down to the manually operated score board. The park was friendly, the prices reasonable, and the Florida view beyond the outfield beautiful. We expected Chicago style hot dogs, but the Sheboygan Wisconsin dogs were...

Owner description:
The historic ballpark opened on June 4, 1914 as the Daytona City Island Ballpark. It consisted of a baseball field and set of wooden bleachers. In the 1920’s, a road circling the ballpark was built to accommodate the growing number of spectators who were traveling to the ballpark by automobile. A grandstand with a press box was built behind home plate to replace the original wooden bleachers along with two additional covered sections of grandstands along the first base line. A bleacher section along the third base line was added shortly after the first renovation in the 1950’s. The present day grandstand and press box were built in 1962. A home team clubhouse was constructed down the left field line in 1972 to accommodate the Montreal Expos. In 1973 left field bleachers, with a capacity of 2,500 seats, were installed. The park was renamed Jackie Robinson Ballpark in 1989 as the stadium served as host to the first racially integrated game in baseball history.

Fan friendly ball park with reasonably priced beer. Easy to get to and close to shopping. Florida AA league play. Daytona Cubs and West Palm Beach Cardinals played this day.

We saw a Cub v Tiger game here. It was our first time at this field, and we had a good time. It was not very stroller friendly though. The food is reasonably priced and was good. They have a well kept playground for the little ones. Overall, we had a good time!

We made a point to come to the opening game on our trip. Drinks and food were reasonable, and was a good time. Lots to see when you're at a game, band playing outside, contests on the field, saw a marriage proposal, kids played ball outside during game with random kids.

Chicago native it's nice to see cubs win somewhere. Great ballpark and worth a trip. Lots of activities for kids. Thirsty Thursday beer options better than most major league parks. Bud party deck great place to hangout. Upper level under roof best seats as you get a breeze and are out of sun.

The Daytona Cubs are enjoyable to watch and the crowd is usually a pretty good size. They utilize a lot of good game to game promotions.

Baseball season means fun at the ball park. Lots of fun for young and old. "The Jack" is an old time ballpark with some "modern" touches. Playground for the kids and some between innings activities that entertain everyone. Beautiful views from bleachers. One of the least expensive forms of entertainment in the area!

Lot of low cost fun. Even if you don't dig baseball, still a fun night out. Cheap beer, good eats at cheap price. Little kids really like it.

We visited the area and went to lunch at a restaurant near the ballpark. As we visited shops around the restaurant, I asked where I could get Daytona Cubs gear (they play in Jackie Robinson ballpark) because I am a big Chicago Cubs fan. Nobody knew how to get Daytona Cubs stuff.
I looked at the website on my iPhone...

Cheap way to spend your afternoon in Daytona if you are a baseball fan. These guys play hard and the Club really makes time for kid activities and involvement. We dont go everytime but we will go next time.
