Renting Essentials for Bunkhouses

All baseball team members playing at Dreams Park and All Star Village stay in bunkhouses on site in the Cooperstown, Milford, and Oneonta areas. Family and friends typically rent accommodations nearby. 

Fans: Stay Cool and Dry

• Dreams Park: Teams typically rent 4-6 fans per bunkhouse. Even though air conditioning may be added this year, previous coaches emphasized that fans proved essential for circulation and drying wet equipment.
• All Star Village: Fans are crucial for battling heat and keeping bunkhouses comfortable, as constant door opening of the bunkhouses allow the summer heat in. Fans are also great for drying items after rain, which is common in New York summers.

Linens and Towels

• Standard Linen Packages: With the Triple Play linen packages are extremely popular for baseball teams -- especially for those traveling far distances. Knowing clean linens await removes the pressure of packing (and fitting!) all the essentials.
  When you rent a Triple Play linen package, you receive:
  
• Pillow
• Waterproof pillow protector
• Pillowcase
• Fitted sheet
• Flat sheet
• Blanket
• Towel
  
  
  All items come neatly packed in a laundry bag with a carrying strap. Most players manage with the one towel provided in the linen package. However, coaches often rent an extra towel for added convenience.
  
• Chilly Nights in June: Consider renting an add-on blanket to stay warm on the cooler Central New York evenings.

Outdoor Seating and Spectator Comfort

Stadium Chairs and Folding Chairs

• Stadium Chairs: These are a hot item for spectators at All Star Village, providing extra comfort during games.
  
• Folding Chairs: Great for both Dreams Park and All Star Village. Coaches at Dreams Park frequently use folding chairs at the bunkhouses, while families at All Star Village appreciate them for relaxing in shaded areas between games.

Umbrellas

Don’t underestimate the New York weather! Umbrellas are essential for both rain and shade during long game days.

Transportation and Hauling Gear

Wagons

Wagons are an absolute must for hauling gear, coolers, and even siblings around:

• Move-In and Move-Out Days: Teams find wagons indispensable for transporting gear to and from bunkhouses.
  
• Family Convenience: Wagons help families carry personal belongings and younger children around the park. Many families ask if coolers fit in the wagons — yes, they do, with room for additional items!

Coolers

Teams typically rent at least two rolling coolers to keep drinks and snacks cool during the hot summer days.
