The stadium name is derived from the longstanding name of the property it is built on.[3]
Roger Bossard, White Sox head groundskeeper, designed and put in all of the fields for the Dodgers and the White Sox. During the park's first year, Dodger fans noted and expressed their dismay at the absence of the Dodger Dog at the ballpark concession stands.[4] The following season, Dodger Dogs began to be sold at the ballpark.
History
Camelback Ranch opened on March 1, 2009 for the spring training home opener between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox. The Dodgers took a 2–0 lead into the top of the ninth until the White Sox came back to defeat them 3–2. (Attendance: 11,280)
In 2015, the Dodgers drew 147,066 fans to their 15 spring training games at Camelback Ranch (an average of just over 9,804 per game), setting a new franchise spring training record.[5]
Prior to the 2018 Spring Training season, two separate roof panels were installed on the 1st base side to cover fans from the sun.
Ranch novelties

A fish-stocked lake that separates the Dodgers and White Sox training facilities and offers aesthetic beauty and irrigation to complex landscaping and playing fields.
Over 5,000 plants and trees.
Stadium playing field sunken 12 feet below grade to improve sightlines.
A mixture of architectural touches—natural stone veneers, tri-color faux staining, rusty metal panels,
Gabion (rock) retaining walls, earth-tone (caramel) stadium seat color, and other appointments—that blend with the natural desert colors of Arizona. Additionally, construction utilizes sweeps and angles instead of a big-box look.
