Take the Padres Coaster to Petco Park


Posted in 2026 in


It’s fast, convenient, scenic and fun! Take the train to San Diego Padres Games.

A round-trip ticket from North County to Petco Park cost is cheaper than the price of gasoline, parking fees, stress and traffic associated with driving to the Padres game. Enjoy the safe ride and a nice frosty beer when you get to the stadium.







The new regional Youth Opportunity Pass allows those 18 and under with a Youth PRONTO card or account to ride free, making the COASTER a cost-effective way for families to get to the game.

The Coaster schedule has a dedicated train just for those attending San Diego Padres games. Keep an eye out for northbound COASTER 699 train, aka ‘Padres Train,’ which will depart one hour after the conclusion of most baseball games or (or post-game fireworks) with an absolute departure of midnight. Baseball fans can catch the train from the Santa Fe Depot train station.
