About Gallagher Square at Petco Park

Gallagher Square at Petco Park is an integrated outdoor space inside Petco Park, the Major League Baseball ballpark that opened in 2004. Formerly known as the Park at the Park, the area was renamed Gallagher Square following a roughly $20 million renovation unveiled in 2024. Petco Park is owned by the City of San Diego and the San Diego Padres partnership and is operated by the San Diego Padres. The full ballpark seats roughly 40,000, while Gallagher Square accommodates a few thousand guests on its grassy berm and plaza depending on event configuration.

The space serves as a park-within-a-ballpark beyond the outfield, offering casual lawn-style viewing for San Diego Padres games along with standalone concerts, rodeo events, family and community events, and private events. Petco Park is widely regarded as one of Major League Baseball’s most attractive ballparks, known for its downtown setting and bay and skyline views. Gallagher Square adds to that character with open green space, kids’ play areas, food and beverage areas, and a large video board.

Recent and upcoming concert bookings at Gallagher Square include Steve Earle and Reckless Kelly, showing how the space shifts from game-day gathering area to outdoor performance venue within the ballpark.

Rideshare: Designated rideshare drop-off and pickup zones are located around the ballpark. After games and concerts, expect congestion and added wait times in the surrounding downtown street grid as crowds leave at the same time.

Getting Ready for Your Gallagher Square at Petco Park Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor ballpark space in downtown San Diego.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular networks can be congested in the downtown ballpark area during large crowds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Downtown streets, parking lots, and transit fill ahead of first pitch and event start, and the Trolley is a convenient way to avoid parking congestion.
• Wear the right footwear. Gallagher Square includes grassy berm and plaza surfaces, so comfortable footwear suited to grass, walking, and standing is recommended.
• Dress in layers. As an outdoor ballpark space near the bay, evenings can cool off. Layers are helpful for night events, and sun protection is useful for daytime games and concerts.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. The San Diego Trolley serves the ballpark well, but crowds build before major games and events, especially near downtown stations.
• Know your entrance. Gallagher Square can use its own access for standalone events or ballpark gates for Padres games, and checking your gate before arriving helps streamline entry.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
