Oracle Park is the home of the San Francisco Giants, located along San Francisco Bay in the China Basin neighborhood. Widely considered one of the most scenic ballparks in Major League Baseball, the park combines an intimate brick-and-steel design with stunning views of McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall.
Overview
Oracle Park opened on April 11, 2000, replacing Candlestick Park. It was the first privately financed ballpark built in the major leagues since Dodger Stadium in 1962. Located at 24 Willie Mays Plaza, the park sits directly on the waterfront in the Mission Bay/China Basin area of San Francisco, accessible by Muni, Caltrain, and ferry. The park has gone through several naming rights deals: Pacific Bell Park, SBC Park, AT&T Park, and Oracle Park (since 2019).
