Danbury Youth Baseball was founded with the vision of creating a top-tier facility where young athletes could learn, grow, and develop a love for the game. The roots of this dream trace back to 1934 when Cephas B. Roger generously donated 25 acres of swampy land to the City of Danbury to establish a community park. By 1941, Roger’s Park officially opened, and over the next decade, more than a dozen additional acres were incorporated. Among its key landmarks is the War Memorial, built to honor fallen soldiers and serve as a gathering place for servicemen.

The park’s baseball legacy began in the early 1960s with the construction of its first ball field. For the next 15 years, this single diamond stood alone, surrounded by undeveloped land. In the late 1970s, efforts to expand the complex led to the addition of three more fields, including the Roger’s Park ball field, which was built using fill to stabilize the swampy terrain. Field 2 followed in the early 1980s, and the iconic "Blockhouse" was completed in 1992, further enhancing the facility.

Danbury Youth Baseball’s impact extends far beyond the local community. It's summer program, known as "Travel Baseball," has achieved remarkable success.

Since 1999, the Danbury Youth Baseball Travel Program has produced 1 World Series Championship, 10 Regional Championships, and 22 State Championships.
