petco park gallagher square renovation
san diego, california
ballpark improvements
America’s #1 ballpark is about to get even better! When Petco Park’s Park-at-the-Park was conceived in 1998, it was designed to provide three essential functions: an elevated grassy berm for families to enjoy watching games, a wiffle ball field for kids to play, and an outward-facing neighborhood park during non-gamedays. Fast forward to today, the current demands of the park have outpaced its infrastructure as Petco Park’s operation has matured.
In preparation for Petco Park’s twentieth anniversary, Gallagher Square (formerly Park-at-the-Park) will enjoy a complete makeover, including:
New Entry Gate at 9th Avenue and J Street
New Tony Gwynn Terrace viewing deck
New Concessions Stand
New Auxiliary Team Store
New Restrooms
New flexible-use civic plaza
Expanded Picnic Hill with improved sightlines into Peco Park
Relocated and improved wiffle ball field
New and improved, expanded playground and play area with equipment for a broader range of age groups and abilities
New fenced off-leash dog park
New Pickleball courts
New public art displays showcasing the talents of local artists
Improved, regionally-appropriate landscape palette
