Fan’s Guide to the Toronto Blue Jays Spring Training

Built in 1990 and originally named Dunedin Stadium at Grant Field, TD Ballpark is one of the older facilities on the Florida Grapefruit League circuit. However, the Blue Jays’ spring home is also known for its charm, having been named one the best places to see preseason action by Sports Illustrated magazine, and a 2019 renovation gave it all the bells and whistles of a top ballpark.

The renovated TD Ballpark features a huge “party deck” along the third-base line. It includes a new indoor, air-conditioned “Eddie’s” lounge area serving cold drinks with protection from the Florida heat.

Another new feature is the “boardwalk” that wraps around the entire outfield. Fans can stroll along the seaside-style concourse, which connects the entire stadium, providing 360-degree sightlines. In addition, the right-centerfield tiki bar along the board features drink rails where Jays fans can stop and catch the action—and maybe a home run ball.

In addition to restaurants and bars, Dunedin’s quaint but vibrant downtown offers several art galleries with creations to appeal to novice and experienced collectors alike. Best of all, the city’s downtown is within walking distance of TD Ballpark, making it convenient for Jays fans.

Dunedin has developed a reputation as one of Florida’s most dog-friendly cities. So much so, it has earned the nickname “Dogedin.” Bad puns aside, there are tons of dog-friendly restaurants, bars, and attractions where you can enjoy all the city has to offer with man’s best friend.

For everyone else, Dunedin is home to Honeymoon Island, a beautiful state park that’s surrounded by the clear emerald-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico featuring miles of white, sandy beaches. There are also miles of nature trails to explore for the more active.

Nearby Caladesi Island is also a time capsule that takes visitors back to the days before condos and hotels crowded Florida’s beaches. Like Honeymoon, Caladesi is all-natural and unspoiled by any development, making it a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life!
