Rogers Park (Danbury)

It hosts six baseball fields, four softball fields, a multi-purpose turf field, eight tennis courts, seven volleyball courts, four handball-paddleball courts, a spray park, a playground, an outdoor ice rink (during cold weather),[1] a concession stand, a pond with a hiking/nature trail, the War Memorial building, several veterans monuments and the Charles Ives House.

[2][3] On December 6, 1935, voters rejected a proposal to turn the Danbury airport into an athletic park.

The Common Council accepted the offer, and applied to the WPA for funds to drain the land and build access roads and athletic facilities.

[6][7] The Charles Ives House was moved to Rogers Park in 1967 from its original site on Main Street.

Rogers Park Field has been home to the Danbury Westerners of the New England Collegiate Baseball League since 1995.
