Located in the home of baseball,
Cooperstown Dreams Park is a premier 22
field youth baseball tournament facility.
The Cooperstown Dreams Park Experience,
since 1996, offers more than baseball.
This cultural and life enriching
experience for team and family members
will create memories to last a
lifetime.
Cooperstown Dreams Park offers our players
a chance to succeed, to savor their moment
in the spotlight and to feel the
excitement of success. We promote a
healthy spirit of competition, while at
the same time always maintaining
traditional values and integrity of the
game. Many coaches and parents have
described their week at Dreams Park as the
highlight of their child's life. It is
that spirit that has made Cooperstown
Dreams Park the "Crown Jewel of Youth
Baseball." We take pride in keeping the
tradition of American's game, baseball, in
its purest form.
Qualified candidates must be committed to
our staff's mission of integrity, service,
