What it's known for
The Western Metal Supply Co. building, a century-old brick warehouse, was preserved and built into the ballpark’s left-field corner. It holds suites and a rooftop seating area, and its corner serves as the left-field foul pole.
Beyond center field, the Park at the Park is a grassy area where fans can watch the game; on non-game days it’s a public park. The views take in San Diego Bay and the downtown skyline.
Getting there
Petco Park is in the East Village, next to the Gaslamp Quarter, and the San Diego Trolley stops right outside. It’s walkable from most downtown hotels.
Tips for your visit
- Walk the Gaslamp Quarter before or after the game.
- San Diego evenings can get cool by the water, so bring a light layer.
- Petco is known for its food, especially local options like fish tacos.
