Entertainment & Activities
Home of the World Series winning SF Giants. If you don’t have time to see a Giants baseball game, but a game is going on - walk to the east side (waterfront promenade) of AT&T park, there is an area you can walk into that lines up with the outfield and you can watch some of the game from behind the outfield fence (super cool)! Great place for an afternoon run as well if a game is going on, just pop in! Should be toward the center of that side of the stadium.
