Sutter Health Park's Preferred Lots are operated by Fulcrum Properties and West Sacramento through ACE Parking, with more than 5,000 nearby spaces. The Main Lot, Black Lot and Ziggurat Garage offer single-game and day-of parking; VIP Green and Gold are season-pass only. Day-of payment uses cards or mobile payment, and advance purchase reserves a lot rather than a specific space. Tailgating is permitted only in Preferred Lots.
Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
It is $30 to park at Sutter Health Park and worth it if you are going with kids or elderly fans. They refill souvenir soda cups for $3 after the initial purchase and you can bring them back to future games.
The club advises selecting a lot by the direction you will leave after the game.
Confirm opening and closing times on your booking: the club's parking page gives conflicting two-hour/90-minute and three-hour/two-hour windows.
SacRT light rail serves downtown Sacramento, with Yolobus and regional trains also named by the club.
Rideshare drop-off and pick-up is the Rideshare Zone at 7th Street and Cabaldon Parkway, west of the ballpark.
Lots open 3 hours before the event and you may stay 2 hours after, except the Ziggurat Garage, which closes 60 minutes after.
Choose your lot by the road you want to leave on: Orange and Blue exits feed US-50, Red and Yellow feed the Tower Bridge.
Pre-purchasing guarantees a lot, not a space: parking is first-come within each lot.
Day-of parking at the lots is credit card or mobile payment only.
The Capitol Corridor makes this a viable trip from the Bay Area without a car.

Parking Rules
What the pass covers, what gets turned away, and the lots that run on their own rules.
Your Pass
- Pick your lot by the direction you are heading afterwards, not by which is closest. Each lot exits onto different roads and the club says so explicitly.
- The Main Lot is the one to aim for if you are buying single-game or on the day. The VIP Green and Gold lots are season-pass only. The Black Lot and the Ziggurat Garage also take single-game and day-of purchases.
- The Main Lot has three entrances with different exits: Orange from 5th Street just north of Bridge Street and Blue from Riverfront Street between Ballpark Drive and Bridge Street both exit to 5th Street and US-50, while Yellow and Red from Riverfront Street just south of Ballpark Drive exit to Cabaldon Parkway and the Tower Bridge.
- The Ziggurat Garage is entered from either direction on 3rd Street and exits toward the I-Street Bridge, or west on Cabaldon Parkway for SR-275 and US-50 at Jefferson Boulevard.
- Day-of-game purchase at the lots takes credit cards or mobile payment only.
- Nothing is printed. A season pass sits in the MLB Ballpark App; a single-game pass comes from whoever you bought it from.
- Pre-purchasing buys you a lot, not a space: spaces are first come, first served within each lot.
- Check your own confirmation for lot opening and closing times. The club's page states them twice and the two statements disagree: one says lots open two hours before and close 90 minutes after, the other says three hours before and two hours after.
- There is complimentary secured bike valet on Ballpark Drive.
- Walking in, the pedestrian routes are via Riverfront Drive and Ballpark Drive, or the corner of 5th Street and Bridge Street.
Accessible Parking
Accessible parking is concentrated in the Green VIP Lot, with the Main Lot taking the overflow. A limited shuttle runs inside the preferred lots and gives priority to guests with disabilities.
- The Green VIP Lot is the primary accessible parking.
- The Main Lot serves as accessible overflow, subject to availability.
- A limited shuttle operates within the Preferred Stadium Lots on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority for guests with disabilities.
- Security officers, city personnel and police are stationed through the lots during arrival and departure.
Getting There
The Athletics' temporary home in West Sacramento documents every lot by its entrance AND its exit: which road you leave on, and which bridge or highway that feeds. Only PNC Park does the same. Four separate transit operators reach the ballpark, including two intercity trains, though the club names services rather than individual stops.
- Driving
- Lots are documented by entrance and exit. The VIP Green Lot is entered on 5th Street and exits north on 5th with access to the I-Street Bridge and SR-275. The Gold Lot is entered at Ballpark Drive and Riverfront Street, exiting to Cabaldon Pkwy and the Tower Bridge. The Main Lot has three entrances: 5th Street just north of Bridge Street, and two on Riverfront Street, with the Orange and Blue exits reaching 5th Street and US-50, and Red and Yellow reaching Cabaldon Pkwy and the Tower Bridge. The Black Lot is entered from 5th Street and exits to US-50 and southbound S. River Road. The Ziggurat Garage is entered from either direction on 3rd Street.
- Public Transit
- Four operators serve the ballpark. Yolobus runs buses with stops near the ballpark; SacRT Light Rail runs into downtown Sacramento; and two trains reach the city: the Capitol Corridor from the Bay Area, and the Gold Runner through the Central Valley. The club points to each operator for schedules rather than naming an individual stop, so confirm your stop on their map.
- Rideshare
- Rideshare drop-off and pick-up are both at the Rideshare Zone at 7th Street and Cabaldon Parkway, west of Sutter Health Park.
