Petco Park, San Diego: How to Visit and What to Do Nearby

Petco Park is a 40,209-seat open-air ballpark in San Diego's East Village neighborhood, home to the San Diego Padres since it opened in 2004. The park incorporated the Western Metal Supply Co. building, a four-story 1909 brick warehouse, into its left-field corner—the building's rooftop serves as an upper-deck seating section. The outfield offers views of San Diego Bay, the Coronado Bridge, and the downtown skyline. The park's playing surface sits 7 meters below street level, and the left-field wall is notably short at 96 meters from home plate. is just one of many options in San Diego. Major attractions worth considering include B-Street Pier & Cruise Ship Terminal, Balboa Park, and Barrio Logan.
