Considering they play their home games at Petco Park, if the Padres didn’t jump through hoops for four-legged fans they would probably be tossed from the league. In addition to their annual Bark at the Park events on April 3, May 16, June 6 and August 17, the team invites Fido and friends to try and snag a home run ball from the viewing area at The Barkyard. Located in left-center field, The Barkyard welcomes you and your pup to catch all the action from a semi-private box seat equipped with shade umbrellas and cooling artificial turf. A designated pet relief area and water stations are nearby, and a Padres’ pet concierge will be on hand to escort Very Important Pets to and from their seats. Feeling hungry? San Diego’s famous fish tacos, ice-cold drinks and delicious soft-serve ice cream can be delivered to you from Carnitas Snack Shack. Four-legged fans attending Bark at the Park will receive take-home swag like a waste bag dispenser, tug toy, Petco towel and treats. If you visit on a Saturday or Sunday you’ll likely spot The Paw Squad, Golden Retrievers, Diego, Sunny and Rookie.

Tickets for Bark at the Park games start at $22 and pricing for seats in The Barkyard begins at $114 for four people and two dogs.
