Bags do not need to be clear. On-site bag storage is available for rent. |

Caltrain's San Francisco Station is a short walk away. Golden Gate Ferry offers direct service from Larkspur, and SF Bay Ferry offers service from East Bay terminals (Alameda, Oakland, Vallejo). |
Parking
Fans are strongly encouraged to reserve parking in advance via SpotHero, as street parking can be limited and costly. Parking is generally more affordable the further one parks from the ballpark. Official lots include Pier 30/32, One Bryant (Lot 26), Lot A/Pier 48, and Lot C.
Family & accessibility
- Strollers: Strollers are allowed into the ballpark. Fold-up strollers should be stored under the seat. Non-folding strollers can be checked at the Guest Services Station behind Home Plate on the Promenade Level, or at Guest Services desk on the Club Level and Concierge Desk on the Suite Level.
- Family perks: Children under 24 months of age do not need a ticket if they sit on an accompanying adult's lap. Baby-changing tables are available in all public restrooms, and two nursing areas (presented by UCSF Health) are located behind home plate on the Club Level. The Fan Lot offers attractions like slides within a giant Coca-Cola bottle, a mini-baseball field (Little Giants Park) for kids 42" or smaller, and autograph-rubbing plaques. Kids ages 14 and under can run the bases after most Sunday day games, weather permitting.
Culture layer
- Signature food: Gilroy Garlic Fries are considered an iconic dish at Oracle Park.
- Local tradition: Notable local fan traditions include not doing 'the wave,' chanting 'What's the matter with (opposing player)? He's a bum!' in response to organ music, and singing 'Bye, Bye Baby' after home runs and Tony Bennett's 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco' after home wins. Kayakers in McCovey Cove often gather hoping to catch splash hits.
