Oracle Park

What you need to know

Oracle Park opened in 2000 as the home of the San Francisco Giants. The park sits on the waterfront at China Basin, with right field opening onto McCovey Cove and the Bay Bridge visible past center field. The Giants season runs April through October.

What to Expect

The park holds about 41,000 people. The upper deck along the third-base line gets windy after sunset. Concessions include garlic fries, Ghirardelli sundaes served in a souvenir helmet, Crazy Crab’z sandwiches, and a Belgian fries stand.

The promenade behind right field is open to the public on game days and looks across to McCovey Cove. Kayakers float in the cove during games waiting for home runs hit over the right-field wall. The public viewing area at the right-field arcade allows non-ticketed people to watch a portion of any game through the fence.

Non-baseball events include concerts, college football, and other sports. Guided ballpark tours run on non-game days.

Visiting

24 Willie Mays Plaza, China Basin. Night games typically start at 6:45pm and day games at 1:05pm. Ticket prices range from around $15 for upper-deck seats on weeknights to over $100 for weekend games against larger-market opponents.

Tickets are available through the Giants website and resale platforms like StubHub. Resale prices often drop below face value for midweek games against smaller-market opponents.

Getting There

Muni Metro (N-Judah or T-Third) stops at King and 4th, a five-minute walk north of the park. Caltrain stops at 4th and King, about a ten-minute walk. From BART, transfer to the N or T at Embarcadero.

Driving is possible but expensive. Lots near the park charge $40 to $60 on game days. Parking further south along Third Street is cheaper but fills.

Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch.
