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.
Gallagher Square at Petco Park is located at 840 K Street, San Diego, CA 92101 — in downtown San Diego’s East Village, within the Petco Park ballpark footprint near the Gaslamp Quarter.
Transit: Petco Park is well served by the San Diego Trolley, with the 12th & Imperial Transit Center and Gaslamp Quarter Trolley stations within short walking distance. MTS bus routes also serve the downtown area, and Santa Fe Depot provides Amtrak and Coaster rail access for guests coming from farther away.
Driving and Parking: Multiple parking structures and surface lots serve the ballpark across East Village and the Gaslamp Quarter. Padres-operated official parking options include Padres Parkade and Tailgate Park. Lots and nearby streets fill as first pitch or event time approaches, so pre-paid parking is recommended, and downtown street parking is limited.
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.
Nearby Accommodation: The Gaslamp Quarter and downtown San Diego offer abundant lodging within walking distance of the gates, ranging from upscale hotels to budget-friendly options.
