Did you know that our local MLB team, the Padres, play in a stadium called Petco Park and offer special opportunities for your dog to join you during America’s favorite pastime?

So what is Bark At The Park?

Bark at the Park is designed for people to bring their dogs to real MLB games and due to the popularity of these pet-themed nights, the Padres added six Bark At The Park events for us to enjoy in 2025. The dates this year were split into two categories, three games will feature a free gift for your dog and the other three games will give you the chance to walk your dog on the field before the game officially starts.
