Where LoanDepot Park is located and how to get there

LoanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins, sits at 601 North Park Road in Miami, Florida. The ballpark opened in 2019 in the Wynwood neighborhood, about 2 miles north of downtown Miami. If you're driving from Miami International Airport, the trip takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.

Public transit to the ballpark runs through Miami-Dade County's Metrorail and Metromover systems. The nearest Metrorail station is Allapattah, about 1 mile from the park. From there, you can take a local bus or rideshare to reach the entrance. The Metromover, which is free, connects downtown Miami to the Brickell area but does not reach the ballpark directly.

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft operate throughout Miami and can drop you at the main entrance on North Park Road. During game days, rideshare pickup zones fill quickly after the final out, so plan extra time if you're leaving after the game ends.

Parking options and costs at LoanDepot Park

LoanDepot Park has multiple parking lots surrounding the stadium, with spaces managed by the Marlins and third-party operators. Standard parking typically costs between $15 and $25 per vehicle on game days, though prices can rise for high-demand games or special events. Preferred parking closer to the main entrance costs more, often $30 to $50 depending on the game.

Parking lots open several hours before first pitch and close after the game ends. Arrive early if you want a spot near the entrance; lots fill quickly on weekends and during evening games. The ballpark website and mobile app show parking availability on game days, though this information updates in real time and may not reflect the exact number of open spaces.

If you hold a season ticket or club seat membership, some parking packages are included with your ticket tier. Check your membership details or contact the Marlins ticket office to confirm what parking benefits you have. Handicap-accessible parking is available in designated lots near the main entrance; you will need a valid handicap placard or license plate to use these spaces.

What to bring and what the ballpark prohibits

LoanDepot Park allows guests to bring small bags, purses, and backpacks that do not exceed 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches. Clear bags are permitted and can be larger. The ballpark does not allow outside food or beverages, including alcohol, though you can bring an empty water bottle and fill it at fountains inside the stadium.

Prohibited items include weapons of any kind, glass containers, cans, bottles, and recording devices (including professional cameras and video equipment). Drones, fireworks, and laser pointers are also banned. Service animals are permitted throughout the ballpark, but pets are not allowed except during designated "Bark in the Park" games, which occur a few times per season.

Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere inside the ballpark, including in the stands, concourses, and restrooms. Designated smoking areas exist outside the stadium perimeter if you need to smoke during the game.

Concessions, seating, and the retractable roof

LoanDepot Park features a retractable roof that closes during hot weather or rain, keeping fans comfortable during Miami's humid summers and afternoon thunderstorms. The roof typically opens before gates open and closes about an hour before first pitch if weather conditions warrant it. You can check the Marlins website or call the ballpark directly to learn about the roof will be closed on your game day.

Concessions throughout the ballpark include standard baseball fare—hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and pizza—as well as regional Miami options like Cuban sandwiches and stone crab claws during the season. Prices are typical for MLB stadiums, ranging from $12 to $20 for most food items. The ballpark has multiple concession stands and kiosks to reduce wait times during busy periods.

Seating at LoanDepot Park ranges from general admission bleachers to premium club seats with food and beverage included. Sightlines are generally good throughout the stadium, though some upper-deck seats in the corners have obstructed views of the scoreboard. If you are sensitive to sun exposure, seats on the first-base side receive afternoon sun during day games, while third-base seats are shaded earlier in the day.

Getting to LoanDepot Park from Miami Beach and other neighborhoods

From Miami Beach, the drive to LoanDepot Park takes 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and which part of the beach you're leaving from. Taking the Causeway (Route 5) west toward downtown Miami, then heading north on I-95 or local roads, is the most direct route. During rush hour or before evening games, allow extra time for congestion on the Causeway and I-95.

From Coral Gables or South Miami, head north on US-1 or take I-95 north to the Wynwood exit. From Brickell, the drive is shorter—about 10 to 15 minutes—and you can use local streets or the Metromover connection to reach the ballpark area. From Fort Lauderdale or Broward County, I-95 south is the primary route, typically a 30 to 45 minute drive depending on your starting point.

Rideshare from any Miami neighborhood is an option if you prefer not to drive or park. Costs vary by distance and demand; expect to pay $15 to $30 for a ride from most central Miami locations, more during surge pricing after games end.
