Home of the Clearwater Threshers and Phillies Spring Training in Clearwater, with a playground and Kids Zone on the left-field concourse and free sunscreen around the ballpark. There is no re-entry, so plan to stay inside once you're in.
Know before you go. BayCare Ballpark doesn't list sensory supports or a quiet room. Here's what it does say about getting in, the rules and the ballpark.
Hours
Game days only. Gates open one hour before scheduled game time during the Threshers season, and two hours before for Phillies Spring Training. The Main Ticket office near the west entry is open Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm during the Threshers season; during Phillies Spring Training it is open Monday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm, and Saturday, 10 am to 3 pm from February 14, with extended hours for weekend games. Game dates are on the Threshers and Phillies Spring Training schedules.
“The left-field concourse features a playground and Kids Zone for our younger guests.”
“All guests are subject to metal detection screening (walk-through units and/or handheld wands) before gaining access to the ballpark.”
“Bags can be no larger than 16"x16"x8" and will be subject to inspection upon entry in accordance with Major League Baseball security regulations.”
“No food, glass bottles, coolers or cans may be brought into the ballpark. One unopened and sealed bottle of water per guest may be brought into the ballpark.”
“Prohibited items include all weapons, noisemakers, and any other item identified in the Fan Code of Conduct.”
“Free sunscreen, courtesy of BayCare, is provided in multiple locations throughout BayCare Ballpark including restrooms and portable stands.”
“Foul balls may be dangerous, so please be alert at all times and aware of the potential hazards.”
With no re-entry, the playground and Kids Zone on the left-field concourse may be the easiest change of scene inside the ballpark. Decide before you go in what a break looks like and when you'll head home.
First Aid and the Customer Service/Advance Tickets window are both on the first base side of the main concourse, behind Section 106. Lost and found is at Customer Service too.
Bags can be no larger than 16 x 16 x 8 inches and are inspected at entry. Outside food isn't allowed; one unopened, sealed bottle of water per guest is.
A playground and Kids Zone are on the left-field concourse, and free sunscreen is in restrooms and at portable stands.
