Petco Park

Petco Park is spectacular in every way, combining the best sight lines in baseball with breathtaking views of San Diego. Architecturally magnificent, it celebrates the sea, the sky, the natural beauty, cultural diversity and unique spirit of our region. Innovative design features evoke the timeless traditions of baseball in an intimate setting, with state-of-the-art fan amenities to suit every taste and budget.

You haven't seen Petco Park until you've gone behind-the-scenes on one of our guided tours. Discover "writer's row" in the press box, learn about the historic Western Metal Supply Co. Building and explore the Padres dugout. The crown jewel of downtown San Diego, Petco Park serves up baseball Southern California style-complete with swaying palm trees and a sandy beach beyond center field.

Join us for a walk in the sun. Individuals, families or groups smaller than 25 can join our walk-up tours offered seven days a week.

Installation of personalized bricks as part of the Phase II of the Tony Gwynn Plaza is complete. Locator maps and certificates of ownership will be sent to brick purchasers within the next few weeks. Thank you very much for your participation in this meaningful program.
Find a brick in Palm Court Plaza

Congratulations to the fans who purchased a personalized brick in the Tony Gwynn Plaza, surrounding a stunning bronze statue of Tony Gwynn in celebration of his induction in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Your personalized brick is located at Park at the Park, located at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. The entrance to the park is located on J Street between 7th and 10th Avenues (a ticket is not required if it is not a game day).

This locator system will assist you in locating your personalized brick in the Tony Gwynn Plaza ONLY . This search tool requires that you search by the LAST NAME of the person who PURCHASED THE PERSONALIZED BRICK. This search tool is not designed to search by the text written on the brick.

• Please click on the letter below that corresponds with the first letter of the last name of the person who purchased the brick.
• Scroll down to the brick purchaser's name. The brick inscription is listed in the second column.
• The third column lists the a letter code for the row in which the brick can be found. Each letter code corresponds to a milestone from Tony Gwynn's career. There are 55 rows of bricks in Tony Gwynn Plaza, and each row has a unique milestone so that you will be able to look for your special brick among one row of bricks versus looking through the more than 3,000 bricks in the entire Tony Gwynn Plaza.
• Once you have looked up the letter code in which your brick is installed, please follow the link to the Tony Gwynn Plaza map and list of milestones to locate your row within Tony Gwynn Plaza.

Starting this season, all fans will be screened as they enter the ballpark.

As they have in years past, fans will continue to have their bags checked by ballpark security staff prior to reaching entry gates. Express Entry lines will be available at all main gates for fans without bags and Season Ticket Members.

Security Changes for 2015

Parking Lot Update
Also new in 2015, due to planned development in the ballpark district that will result in the loss of more than 500 parking spaces, neighborhood parking rates will be increasing in 2015. The area formerly known as the Parcel C parking lot will soon be developed into a mixed-use building, and will no longer be available for parking.

Guests should expect increased traffic and parking delays when coming to Petco Park, and are strongly encouraged to pre-purchase parking online at www.padres.com/transportation. Doing so will guarantee their spot in a Padres-preferred lot at a discounted rate. Arriving early and taking public transportation are also encouraged, in order to minimize traffic and parking delays. Parking will be available for pre-purchase online beginning when single-game tickets go on sale Friday, February 6th at 9am.
