Home run for Padres
Alaina A.

My only complaint is the seating is confusing. We circled the entire stadium and ended up wishing we had stayed in the beer garden while the sun set. But, the beer garden and the spot next to it are pretty awesome. Everything was clean and staff were friendly. Also there are many fun bars and restaurants in the neighborhood. It made for a top-tier night. Go Padres!

There is a reason Petco Park is the #1 Ballpark in America. The views of the bay and city skyline are spectacular. Although, we have been to Petco Park for many events. This was our first time in the main stadium for a concert. We previously attended Gallagher Square last season. On this visit, we joined the Ed Sheeran Loop Tour. Opening acts included; Sigrid and Myles Smith who entertained us well. The highlight of the show for me was the suprise guest and former local Alex Warren. To hear Ordinary performed by both artists was incredible. I reserved our seats in the Sunset Section and the views were just right. Petco has a solid food selection and even better beverage offerings. I am a fan of Cutwater Spirits and enjoyed the new Lemon Drop Martini and the Grape Vodka Cocktail. My new favorites. I usually avoid stadium and arena tours but this was so worth the trip. #PetcoPark #EdSheeran #AlexWarren #MylesSmith #CutwaterSpirits

I am so happy that the Padres decided to bring back African-American heritage night. After three years of not having African-American heritage night, it showed up on the theme game schedule within the last month or so. I was very excited and hopeful that we would be able to attend in this worked out. Upon arrival, we also noticed that they were giving out Padres ponchos. The ponchos were really cute and so I'm happy that we also were able to receive that item as a giveaway. The African-American heritage night hats were really well designed and looked really nice. What bothered me is that they ran out of seats in the 100 section where we wanted to sit as a group and so we ended up sitting in the 233 section with some other organizations. It was a cool experience and nice to be in community at the Padre game. It was also cool because the Padres actually won and came back from previously losing to the Colorado Rockies. I will say that I appreciate the restroom attendance here. They really do keep the restrooms, clean, tidy and smelling decent. They are also very well stocked with paper towels, soap and working water faucets. The trash cans are never over flowing either. There are so many concessions here that I can't cover them all. I was very impressed that the Pop Pie Company has a presence here. I really appreciate also that they have the Gaglione Brothers, Stone Brewing, Hodads, the donut place, and several others. My favorite thing to get at the Padre games is the Mr. Softee soft serve. Sadly, I didn't get an opportunity to do that on this visit but I'll definitely do it on the next. Gallagher Square and Park at the Park is so well planned and organized and it makes me feel so good to see so many people enjoying this space. Thanks for putting African-American Heritage night back on the schedule for theme nights.

I've been here for concerts and baseball games many times. It's an absolutely massive venue. This past event was a country music concert. I would say security wasn't super crazy I was a little surprised. I had a clear purse so they paid no attention to it whatsoever but did walk through a metal detector. It is fairly quick to get inside. There's a lot of food and beverage options but be aware this is event priced items. I bought two beers for myself and a friend and it cost almost $50 with tip. This wouldn't stop me from coming back here, I've been many times before and I'm sure I'll be back many times after this. Definitely if you have mobility issues be aware of what you're in for which is stairs on stairs. There are very long ramps between the first second and third floors, but to get to any of the seats you do have to take stairs.

Petco park is the best ballpark in the universe. I have been to many games and other events at Petco. Don't forget to explore when you visit. There's lots to see and lots of food and hidden gems.

Not front row but it's fresh with an amazing breeze.

Came to enjoy Mexican Heritage weekend and last Friday Party in the Park of the regular Season. Unfortunately the evening was a downer with the Loss but For the Faithful we will win today and tomorrow and all the way to the end. Love the Conexion Catrina pop up. Also we secured the saught after Catrina cup.

One of the more enjoyable stadiums. Conveniently located in the city center that gives you the option of using public transportation instead of driving. A huge plus. We parked at a mall and took the trolley over. My family of 8 attended the Filipino Heritage Night with my brother's church group. We took over one corner. There had to be at least 50 of us total. There happened to be swag which for this game was a pretty sick jacket. I will say what I appreciate about this stadium is that they have great food options. Same for drinks. It was actually a little overwhelming having to pick. I ended up going for a long walk checking all the options before deciding on Hodads. Getting out is a breeze. There's a ton of staff when you're exiting I'm assuming to make sure all goes well. Everyone I encountered was super nice.

Another great night with the hubby at Petco Park. Especially great because we found the elusive catrina cups!!

Baseball View

My family and I visited Petco Park to watch the Dodgers vs Padres game. Wow! This is a very friendly, well-maintained stadium. Despite our Dodger regalia, Staff consistently smiled and eagerly helped. I was taken aback by Staff's professionalism, charm, and work ethic. Staff friendliness was comparable to Disneyland. I did notice some small arguments between inebriated fans, but I'd quickly saw security appear to settle any issues. I felt safe at Petco Park. Also, it was a little hilarious how 70% attendees appeared to be wearing the white and blue. Food is decent. Unlike Crypto Arena's lazy build-your-own nachos, there's effort and flavor with Petco Park's nachos. Also, I appreciated how the Souvenir Cups had unlimited refills on day of purchase. Petco Park also had a really chill family atmosphere vibe. The decor reminded me of Knotts Berry Farm with all the brown and wooden beams. My family and I didn't even have to pay for parking since we just downloaded the PRONTO app to use the San Diego Trolley fare system; we just rode a trolley over. We'd found a nearby hotel that was literally a one minute walk from a trolley stop. Overall, my family and I had a great time at Petco Park. Although we'd unfortunately visited on a day the Dodgers had lost, the memory was still fun. It's also kinda hilarious how Petco Park dedicated so much time making a "Beat LA" chant which is kinda hilarious. Dodgers are living rent free in San Diego for sure. All in all, I happily recommend especially when the Dodgers come to town.

Nachos
Melanie M.

I love coming here for padres games! Food is always good. The tri tip nachos aka Cardiff crack is delicious. I recently tried the burracho fries from the bbq place and they were really filling and I was impressed. A few months ago I had a churro sundae which was massive and could serve 2-3 people. Great drinks. Can't go wrong with any food here! A little overpriced but expected.

PTV Homecoming
Juliana G.

I had an amazing night at the Pierce the Veil homecoming show. The sound never cutoff. It happened twice at viejas so I was so relieved it didn't happen here. Thank you!

Petco Park is beautiful! It's always a good time going to see the Padres play. Sometimes you even get really lucky with a killer sunset. I've been to a couple other events there and I've always thought they were well put on. The concessions are pretty good, there's a big variety of food and I love all the local craft breweries. It is crazy expensive to eat and drink there. The last time I went, I got a hot pretzel and I went into this little area where they pre-authorize my card and then I just picked up whatever food and drinks I wanted and the camera charged me the appropriate amount when I left. That was kind of cool.

Home run deck
Miranda C.

My husband's company rented out the home run deck, and as always it was an amazing time. Views are amazing of the park. There was easy access for us with a stroller. My brother-in-law even caught a home run ball.

Ask the Community - Petco Park

How many 1 star rating's are there?

Should be zero. This is the best ballpark on the planet 🌍⚾

Are there any chairs in the Gallagher Square General Admission area or is it standing only? I'm old and don't want to stand for an entire concert!

There aren't chairs but in the back of the grass area there are long concrete benches. First come first serve basis

I accidentally purchase a wheel chair disability ticket for a concert, will they still let me in?

Yes

For concerts in Gallagher Square (not the baseball diamond), does anyone know if there is disability seating available? I can't find on their website.

It's hit or miss depending on how popular the concert is as space is limited.

How strict is their bag policy. It says single pocket 7"x10" bag is allowed. Will they reject a small fanny pack with two zippers?

Fanny Packs are on the approved list.

Do you accept Apply pay inside the park for food etc...?

They do :)

Concert at Gallagher square details? Is there a lot of room for dancing?

NO !!! It gets very packed

If I have a kids wagon (not a stroller) that I'm using to get around downtown can I bring it with me into Petco Park?

Helllzzzz noooooooo

A charge for drinks at Petco took 3 weeks to post on my Debit card. I thought it was fraudulent. Anyone else have this issue of an extremely delayed charge posting on your card?

Never. Usually 24 to 48 hours to post. Might depend on the vendor?

Is Park at the Park accessible from the Upper Pavillion?

Yes. Park at the Park is accessible from anywhere in the ballyard. Walk around! Explore the entire park. It's awesome.

Are pets allowed? Thanks…

On certain game days. They do a couple games per year called "Dog Days of Summer" when dogs are welcome.

Best place to find parking around the Petco Park?

We park in the Padres Parkade which is just a short walk to the ballpark. We have season tickets so we get a discounted rate to park here. You can park anywhere downtown and take FRED (The Free Ride) for free to the ballpark and back to your car for… 

Is there free motorcycle parking?

It's downtown San Diego.... nothing is free

Are there beer carts at Park At The Park? Or, at least, access to the beer carts inside?

Lots of beee options throughout the park

Do I have to get carded every time I buy a beer?

Not every time. Once is all they need

While the course was definitely a excruciating experience and would still say the experience overall positive since the course was fairly well maintained and the commentator was very enjoyable and enthusiastic. Unfortunately my team's second race wasn't as positive. Our race was cancelled due to heat which was disappointing. Though I will say it was fairly impressive how quickly the volunteers were packing up the course. Finally, I would like to mention that the bathrooms were very disgusting and I can see why even with these bathrooms the nearby port-John's were still way more popular. The park overall was fairly clean and had several different attractions so even though I had some negative experiences I would still rate my experience four stars.

One of my absolute favorite gardens in the Park is the Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden. Currently, it is in brilliant full bloom with 1,700 rose varieties, including floribunda, climber & hybrid tea, all showing off their most beautiful selves and the fragrance is just divine. This garden is cared for by a team of dedicated volunteers and it is a testament to their expertise and skill that this garden looks as spectacular as it does. When visiting, please do not cut or shake the rose bushes. Please enjoy the beautiful flowers in the garden, and take as many photos as you wish. This is a San Diego treasure for all of us, so please treat it with respect & care. I usually park in one of the free museum parking lots and then walk over. Plenty of parking, but arrive early for the best selection and to avoid crowds. There are also a handful of paid parking spots on the street in front of the garden. Mahalo & enjoy!

The trail followed a dry creek bed with plenty of small flat rocks as opposed to a smooth dirt path. With gentle sloping, it was friendly for pets and children so families who live nearby are fortunate to have this natural amenity for leisure or exercise. The temperature gradient was rather dramatic on the day of my hike. The trough areas were noticeably cooler by several degrees compared to the more elevated portions like at the trailhead. I read that one can walk six miles through Switzer Canyon. My journey only covered the western section, but the experience was sufficient to allow me to appreciate the contouring and views of the local landscape.

I am glad that at least the courts here are free for the public to use (ahem Balboa Tennis Club ahem), and that is the only reason why this is not a one star review.

Half the tennis court nets are broken at the top tape part, often allowing the ball to pass through even though it should have gone into the net. Finally, the hours that the courts are unlocked for the public are terrible as well, during business hours on weekdays and closed on the weekends. How am I supposed to play when the only time they are open is when I am at work? Also the park can get pretty sketchy at night time, so I would only come here in the daytime.
